Akwa Ibom silent as compensation disputes stall N117.5bn Medical City project

A Premium Times investigation reveals that families affected by the N117.5bn Medical City project in Akwa Ibom have rejected compensation offers as inadequate for relocation and rebuilding. The state government has remained silent amid the disputes, raising uncertainty about project timelines and social stability. This matters as unresolved land compensation issues could delay a major infrastructure investment and fuel local grievances.
