From the Nigerian Blue Community Peace Point Development Foundation PPDF:
Why 70 Civil Society Groups Are Challenging Coastal Highway Route Through Akwa Ibom’s Stubb’s Creek.
A broad coalition of civil society organisations in Nigeria (including the Blue Community Peace Point Development Foundation PPDF) has issued a call on the both the federal government and government of Akwa Ibom State to halt the proposed routing of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway through Stubb’s Creek Forest Reserve in Akwa Ibom State.
The CSOs numbering 70 under the umbrella of “Save Stubb’s Creek Coalition” argued that the project, as currently conceived, threatens to erase one of Nigeria’s most ecologically significant protected areas and deepen the Niger Delta’s already acute climate vulnerability.
