The Coalition of Concerned Nzema People is gearing up for a legal battle with the government over the proposed private sector-led petroleum hub project in the Western Region. The group, according to a citinewsroom.com report, is contesting the acquisition of 20,000 acres of land by the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation for the project, citing inadequate consultation with the rightful landowners. Tensions have escalated after the Office of the Presidency dismissed a petition from the Coalition challenging the land acquisition. Despite the group's concerns, the Presidency has confirmed that the scheduled sod-cutting ceremony for the project will proceed as planned. An executive member of the coalition, Isaac Kojo Ndede, expressed the group's dissatisfaction with how the project is being handled.
