Notwithstanding, another extensive part of the land that was cleared for the street, our journalist assembled have been assumed control by ranchers.
The super highway was one of the activities Governor Ayade guaranteed the general population on presumption of obligation.
The Head of Media and Campaigns, Environmental Rights Action, Mr. Philip Jakpor said that the general population of Cross River should keep on demanding for what was correct and not accept on what wasn't right, regardless of the zone it originated from or the individual included.
Jakpor clarified that the super highway undertaking of Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State was a scam as the vital strides to make it feasible were not tailed, "We have whined prior that we don't trust that Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) was done"
"In the event that it was done, the group would have known the EIA include counseling with the general population who was probably going to illuminate hardship, misfortunes of business, on account of the undertaking execution, that was not done, the venture would go through some virgin woods where we have some uncommon creatures, and we can't permit them go.
Jakpor said the fundamental convention was not taken after, "What we have concurred with the state government was not done; the administration that was tingling for improvement must get things done in an ecological sound way.
Jakpor who bolstered Federal Government's activity to stop the undertaking stated, "The venture must include the general population educate of interview, yet the effect of agony on the general population are probably going to be awesome. We are particularly in help of Federal Government's activity by ceasing it.
He exhorted the state government to backpedal and do the needful, "Let the State Government backpedal to the planning phase and address those ecological worries that have been raised by the general population. The general population of Cross River State should keep on demanding for what is correct.
"The general population should demand what is correct, Governor ought to make the right decision, individuals ought not accept what isn't right, as in America, individuals never again accept on their President, all that he is doing, individuals tailing him aircraft to plane, this isn't issue of talk, this venture isn't what the general population need, as of now, it is a deplete on the state's assets.
"The cash for this task ought to go into other helpful territories and ought not be put on venture that has no important reason or effect on the general population. The super highway venture ought not be take a gander at practically. We are not against government doing extend, but rather we are against venture that won't advance individuals' condition.

"Federal Government requested for the stoppage of work over the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports. When Federal Government gave us endorsement, was work not going ahead at Super Highway? he questioned.
"The ventures that don't require Federal Government endorsement, did you not see us working? The 134 km street that cut over the whole Northern Senatorial District was done on the grounds that we didn't require endorsement, the Rice City where we needn't bother with endorsement, would it say it was not done? The Pharmaceutical organization where we needn't bother with endorsement, was work not going on?
"The Cocoa Processing Farm in Ikom where we require no endorsement, Rice Processing Plant in Ogoja where we require no endorsement, East West connection street in Boki and the scaffold where we needn't bother with endorsement, are work not going there?.
"Mark ventures are not by any means the only projecta left upon by this administration. Yet, everyone realizes that work on that Super highway was halted when the Federal Government issued stop work arrange."
