FG Renames Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway in Honour of President Tinubu

The Federal Government has officially renamed the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway. Works Minister David Umahi announced the change in Abuja, citing Tinubu’s 27-year vision for the project from his time as Lagos State governor. Umahi also revealed that the President approved a 400-kilometre extension of the Fourth Legacy Highway and reconstruction of key sections of the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway. The first 47.47-kilometre, six-lane carriageway from Victoria Island to Lekki will include a 25-metre median reserved for a future railway line. Additional approvals cover the dualisation of 400 kilometres of the East–West Road, completion of the abandoned Ibi Bridge in Taraba State, and construction of the 5.76-kilometre Lao Bridge. These projects aim to improve national connectivity and stimulate economic growth.

What do you think the renaming means for local commuters and regional identity along the new President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway?

How do you see this renaming changing daily travel costs or local pride along that route?

It feels like a political ceremony more than a recognition of actual work done on the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway project so far.

Renaming roads after presidents isn't new, but shouldn't we focus instead on whether the highway meets promised quality and safety standards first?
