Managing Director Winhomes Global Estate, Engr. Stella Okengwu, has commended President Bola Tinubu for his bold reforms aimed at repositioning the country for a better tomorrow.

Okengwu, a Nigerian in the diaspora, in a letter of New Year felicitation to the President, also commended Nigerians for their patience and resilience in the face of what she described as temporary socio-economic challenges caused by the ongoing reforms of the current administration.

She urged Nigerians not to give up, expressing optimism that there would be light at the end of the tunnel.

In the spirit of the New Year, she however appealed to President Tinubu to consider the plight of many Nigerians in the diaspora who are at the verge of losing several millions of naira due to the diversion of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road in Okun Ajah area of Lagos.

According to her: “In a patriotic move, alongside hundreds of Nigerians in the diaspora, we invested hundreds of millions in the Nigerian real estate industry. The decision was informed by the President’s call for foreign direct investment. However, in a dramatic turn of events, the Ministry of Works under the leadership of David Umahi, without following due process, diverted the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road under construction in the Okun Ajah axis of Lagos, which led to the destruction of properties worth millions of naira.

“In the spirit of the New Year celebration, I am appealing to President Tinubu on behalf of the hundreds of Nigerians in the diaspora who invested in the Winhomes Global Estate project to kindly intervene in the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road diversion crisis in order to save the investments of hundreds of Nigerians in the diaspora contributing to the socio-economic prosperity of Nigeria.”

She further urged Nigerians to make it a priority to pray for the success of the President Tinubu-led administration, in the best interest of the country and its citizens.
