HURIWA Decries Delay in Resolving $250m Coastal Road Estate Demolition Dispute

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has expressed concern over the prolonged dispute involving Winhomes Global Services Limited and diaspora investors affected by the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road project.

In a statement by the National Coordinator Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), Comrade Emmanuel Nnadozie Onwubiko, the group said the matter has remained unresolved for over two years despite engagements with relevant authorities and submission of documents by affected parties.

According to HURIWA, there has been no final resolution or compensation for the company and investors linked to the demolished Winhomes estate.

The group said the delay raises questions about administrative processes and accountability.

The group said the statement raises questions about due process and the exercise of authority.

The association noted that the case involves a diaspora investor who reportedly mobilised foreign investment into Nigeria, adding that the situation could affect investor confidence if not addressed.

It called on the Federal Government to clarify the circumstances surrounding the demolition and ensure a transparent resolution of the dispute.

HURIWA also urged the Ministry of Works to provide details on the legal basis for the action.

The group further appealed to relevant oversight agencies to review the case and determine whether proper procedures were followed.

The Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road project is a major federal infrastructure initiative expected to boost connectivity along Nigeria’s coastline.

However, disputes over property demolition and compensation have continued to generate public attention.
