Niger Delta Activists Forum has issued a 30-day notice to shut the Calabar-Itu Road over government’s failure to fix it.

The group issued the ultimatum in a statement read at a news briefing on Thursday.

The statement by National President, Success Jack; National Youth Leader Okori, Benard Oko; CRS Chairman, Paul Ajie; and Publicity Secretary, Ogar Emmanuel Oko, reads in part,

“Exactly two years after the Niger Delta Activists Forum led our people to protest against the deplorable state of the road and contracts awarded to Julius Berger and Sermatech Nigeria Limited, nothing has changed.

“We were told by the Minister of Works that this project would be given priority funding through the SUKUK bond starting,but sadly, all the promises were dashed.

“Our people are disappointed by the fact that, while other projects across the country are being well funded and are progressing this one has virtually remained unattended to with huge economic loss and hemorrhage to the people of Cross River State, the Niger Delta and Nigeria at large.”

The group called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari not to “fail us.”

“Mr Fashola the Minister for Works and Housing, you are doing well but please do better. Until the project is done and inaugurated, we will continue to assume that sincerity has not been displayed, because nothing has changed.

“We will be reviewing the situation in the next 30 days, with the inevitable option of shutting down the road once more,” the group said.
