Umahi Says Lagos-Calabar Highway Will Divert Inland After Ogun

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway was initially planned as a 700-kilometre route linking Lagos to Cross River through nine coastal states. The project has been projected to cost about ₦15 trillion. Works Minister Dave Umahi says the route will no longer follow the coast beyond Lagos and Ogun. It is expected to pass through Edo State and connect with the East-West Road. The proposed change raises questions about the project’s final route, scope, cost and the sections that will be newly constructed or upgraded. Nigerians need clear details on how the revised alignment will affect the project and public spending.
