The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to clarify the extent of authorisation granted for the demolition of diaspora investors and WINHOMES Global Services Limited, affected by the Lagos–Calabar Coastal road project.
The National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Nnadozie Onwubiko urged the president to determine whether proper procedures were followed, and ensure that all affected parties receive full and just compensation without further delay.
Comrade Onwubiko during a press conference on Monday, in Abuja, expressed concern over what he described as a troubling and prolonged case of alleged injustice involving WINHOMES Global Services Limited and diaspora investors affected by the project.
He warned that the situation poses a direct threat to Nigeria’s credibility as a lawful and investment-friendly nation.
He explained that after over two years of consistent monitoring, engagements, and independent reviews, it has become evident that the matter has been left unresolved for far too long, thereby undermining public trust in governance and the rule of law.
He noted that available records and interactions with concerned parties reveal that despite repeated submissions of documents and multiple engagements with relevant authorities, including invitations extended to affected diaspora investors to return to Nigeria for dialogue, there has been no conclusive resolution or payment of compensation to WINHOMES Global Services Limited.
