In a move to avoid damaging subsea cables, the Federal Government has rerouted the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and reduced the number of lanes from 10 to six. This cost-saving measure will help complete the 700km project by May 2025.
The government has already paid N10 billion in compensation to property owners and completed four kilometers of concrete road. The project will connect nine states and create new opportunities for tourism, factories, and industries.
Minister of Works David Umahi praised the contractor’s commitment and announced that the first 47 kilometers will be open to the public by May 2025. He also revealed that the government has inherited over 2,600 projects valued at N15 trillion and initiated 330 emergency projects worth N260 billion.
Stay tuned for more updates on this massive infrastructure project!”
