Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project's scale, which requires up to 700 bridges along the coastline, has led to criticism that it may not serve immediate economic needs. The Niger Delta has a vast maritime sector, including crude oil, gas, fishing, and ports, which faces infrastructure risks.
