PRESIDENT TINUBU: LAGOS-CALABAR COASTAL HIGHWAY WILL REVOLUTIONIZE TRANSPORTATION IN NIGERIA AND BOOST TOURISM
President Bola Tinubu, on Sunday in Lagos, flagged off the construction of the 700km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, stating that the project would revolutionize transportation in Nigeria and bolster the unique economic strength of each zone.
The President spoke from the Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island end of the project, which will traverse nine states along Nigeria's coastal shoreline while linking the A1, A2, A3, and A4 highway corridors vertically crossing the western, central and eastern regions of the country, north to south.
Starting from Lagos and terminating in Cross River State, the coastal highway will include a spur to the north-central part of the country.
From Victoria Island, President Tinubu also performed the virtual flag-off of the design and procurement for the 1,000km Sokoto-Badagry Highway, which is expected to connect Sokoto to Badagry in Lagos State, passing through Kebbi, Niger, Kwara, and Oyo States.
In addition, he virtually flagged off the design and procurement for the 461km Enugu-Abakaliki-Ogoja Road, which will traverse Benue, Kogi, and Nasarawa States, terminating at Apo in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The President, who is in Lagos to inaugurate and flag off projects as part of activities marking his administration's first anniversary, also performed the virtual flag-off of the reconstruction and rehabilitation of 330 roads and bridges across the six geo-political zones of the nation.
Congratulations to the government
ReplyDeleteIs it true the Project will take 38yrs to complete?
DeleteI love this and I pray that the project becomes a success.
ReplyDeleteWhen completed, one would be able to travel to Calabar, Akwa ibom and environs without passing through any if the Igbo states. They would be cut off.
Then after completion they should allow the Igbos to separate from Nigeria and be on their own since that's what they want, it won't affect the south south people while traveling to the South west or other parts of the country. They should go away with their insecurities - kidnappings and killings on the roads while travelling. No difference from Northern people.
ReplyDeleteMay Nigeria happen to you.
DeleteA tribalistic bastard spotted. May the current state of Nigeria be your portion. Idiot all of you hating on the igbos go D*e on their matter.
DeleteWow. Connecting a country as vast as Nigeria is no easy feat. Congrats and may the project stay within the budget and be completed at the expected time.
ReplyDeleteEko Atlantic is still been built almost 20 years later, will this road be completed in their lifetime?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so.
