President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said the N15 trillion worth Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway will give 30 million business people improved access to market centres and production.
Tinubu disclosed this in his remarks on Sunday in Lagos during the flag-off of the 700km Lagos-Calabar highway project and several others to commemorate his first year in office. 'It will fast-track the community's development, bring development closer to the people, and give 30 million people improved access to production and marketing centres. 'You can easily predict a journey vertically and go along the horizontal line, and you can define the free movement of people,' he said.
This comes as the Minister of Works, David Umahi, disclosed last Thursday that 750 houses on the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway's path have been marked for demolition. He stated that the government had announced N2.75 billion in compensation for affected properties. 'However, be rest assured that this government is a compassionate government that cares for you and will do the utmost to offer succour by way of compensation,' he stated.
