Coastal highway: Umahi slams Obi, says he’s inciting south-east people against FG

Published

David Umahi, minister of works, says Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra, is inciting people of the south-east against the Federal Government over the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project.

Umahi spoke in Lagos on Wednesday during a stakeholders’ meeting on the road project.

Recently, the federal government commenced the construction of the Lagos-Calabar coastal road, which is expected to run through the shoreline of beach resorts in Lagos, while traversing eight other states.

The project has generated controversy and concerns about funding and the businesses that would be affected during construction.

On Tuesday, Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, criticised the federal government over the project, describing it as a misplaced priority.

The former Anambra governor said the “insensitive” demolition of structures for the project was “heart-wrenching”.

UMAHI REPLIES OBI

Responding to the comment, Umahi said Obi supported the demolition of structures for road infrastructure while he was the governor of Anambra.

READ Makinde absent at PDP rally in Oyo

The minister condemned Obi for criticising the Federal Government over the project, adding that affected property owners are already being compensated.

“When you condemn people you bring judgment upon yourself and that is what he has done,” Umahi said.

“I think he is inciting some of the south-east people that are not well informed.

“He is inciting and getting them into trouble and he does not go to fight for them.

“Wisdom is a defence. It gives light to those that practice it. I want our people to have wisdom because I’m involved.”

Umahi added that the federal government did not destroy the facilities of Landmark Beach, noting that only shanties on the right of way were removed.

He said the owners of Landmark Beach were not unfairly treated in the construction of the project.

The minister accused Paul Onwuanibe, chief executive officer (CEO) of Landmark Africa Group, of politicising the issues arising from the project.

President Bola Tinubu gave this indication in his speech during this year’s International Workers’ Day celebration in Abuja, on Wednesday.

2. The Federal Government says it will stop granting licences to gas companies with no capacity to build pipelines for gas distribution. This, the government said, became necessary to discourage the transportation of compressed natural gas through the roads.

3. The House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream and Midstream) has called on security agencies to pick up hoarders of the Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol. The committee also assured Nigerians of the availability of petrol in stock, stressing that the logistical challenges which made the product scarce were being addressed.

4. The Federal Government has assured workers in the country that the implementation of the new national minimum wage would still take effect from May 1, 2024.

Biggest mess created in 2023 was devaluation of naira – Dangote

Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Industries Limited, says the devaluation of naira created the biggest mess for the company in 2023.

Dangote spoke on Tuesday during the annual general meeting of Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc.

According to Dangote, the company is putting in efforts to ensure it pays dividends this year.

He said a lot of companies, especially in food and beverages businesses, were also affected and will be unable to pay dividends.

“We are doing whatever it takes to make sure that at the end of the day, we will be paying dividends because if you look at our dividends last year, it was almost 50 percent more so we will try and get out of the mess,” Dangote said.

“The biggest mess created was actually the devaluation of the naira from N460 to N1,400.

“You can see almost 97 percent of the companies, especially in food and beverages businesses, none of them will pay dividends this year for sure but, we will try and get out of it as soon as possible.

“We want to see that at the end of the day, no matter how small, we will be able to pay some dividends, especially if there is a rebound of the naira.”

‘WE’LL REAPPLY FOR MERGER OF DANGOTE SUGAR WITH NASCON’

Speaking on the suspension of the planned merger of Dangote Sugar Refinery with Nascon Allied Industries Plc and Dangote Rice Limited, the chairman said it was put on hold because the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wanted the rice factory to begin.

Dangote said the rice factory in Jigawa is expected to be commissioned soon, adding that Dangote Sugar will reapply for the merger when the time is right.

On April 19, Nascon announced the suspension of its proposed merger with Dangote Sugar.

Nascon said the merger was not completed due to the current non-operational status of Dangote Rice.

DANGOTE SUGAR TO END SUGAR IMPORTATION IN 2028

Dangote said the company’s sugar master plan will enable the producer to sell only locally produced sugar in the next four years.

According to the chairman, the implementation of the backward integration policy will give the company the best future in terms of stability and prevent issues relating to exchange rate losses.

READ Yuletide: 20 die in two road crashes

“The sugar master plan we are now taking is very, very serious,” he said.

“But to say the least, the industry as a whole, did not really push as we are supposed to push in terms of the backward integration.

“We have done a lot, but we also have our fears because if there is no proper implementation, we do not want to go and sink a lot of your money and we end up losing money because if government is not following or making sure that everybody behaves, then we will not be able to make money. But right now, I think they have called us.

“We have sat down and I can assure you on our own, we think the best future of this company is through the backward integration.

“Because backward integration will actually give you much more forfeit and stability and it will erase all these exchange rate losses.

“So, by the grace of God, in the next four years maximum, our company should be producing what we are selling currently, all domestic, 100 percent domestic.”

However, Dangote said if any sugar is imported by the company, it will only be to complement what it is producing.
