FG Renames ₦15tn Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway After Tinubu

The Nigerian government has renamed the 750-kilometre
Lagos-Calabar coastal highway after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

 

The minister of works, David Umahi, disclosed this in a
briefing on Thursday.

According to him, President Tinubu had envisioned this
project about 27 years ago.

“By the power conferred on me as the Honourable Minister of
Works, and in consultation with the Permanent Secretary, the Minister of State,
the directors and the entire staff of the ministry, we have decided to name the
entire Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“This is a dream that Mr President had about 27 years ago,”
he said.

The highway is estimated to cost N15 trillion upon
completion.

The road, which is one of the Tinubu government’s legacy
projects with a section near completion, has been with controversies since its
commencement in March 2024.
