A new era in Nigeria’s transportation history has begun. A 700 kilometre Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, with feeder roads joining it from different parts of the country is being built by the present administration and this is proof of the transformative power of visionary leadership by President Bola Tinubu, who has put the present minister ot works, David Umahi, a man of unwavering dedication at the helm of affairs.

Starting from Lagos, Calabar, Ogun and Akwa-Ibom, simultaneously it will traverse the beautiful landscapes of Ondo, Bayelsa, Rivers, before culminating in the historic city of Calabar.

With its cutting edge technology and innovative design, this highway will slash travel times, reduce transportation costs and increase access to markets and resources. It will be a game changer for entrepreneurs, investors and travelers and unlock new opportunities and boost economic growth.

As we embark on this journey, we are not just building a highway, President Bola Tinubu is crafting a legacy of prosperity and growth. The Lagos-Calabar Highway will be a lifeline for business, a catalyst for economic development and a symbol of hope for a brighter future.

And this is why it is surprising that some disgruntled people are opposing this project and I would suggest that such enemies of progress should not ply the road when it is completed and stick to the old, long and treacherous routes.

President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to this project is a beacon of hope for our nation.

As we celebrate this milestone, we must recognise that this project is not just a feat of engineering, but a triumph of our collective potential. So let us join hands and support Minister Dave Umahi and his team as they embark on this magnificent scheme.

Most people speaking out in support of such waste at a time when the Country is grappling with it highest debt and living crisis are poorly informed.

If you don't understand economics properly, opportunity cost, environmental impact, cost-benefit analysis, then there is no point deceiving the public on a subject you don't know. Ben Bruce should be asked to keep quiet and listen to the experts.

Common sense crooner is now senseless.
We are saying that the existing roads leading from Cross River State to Lagos State and the numerous bad roads across the country should be fixed.


People are dying on these bad roads yet the govt priority is a coastal highway that we all know wouldn't be completed in 20yrs to come.

How is that a bad idea if I may ask Ben?

forgiveness:


Existing roads are also under rehabilitation.

The coastal highway shouldn't be a problem for now.
Why didn't you people condem the second niger bridge, where there no existing bad roads in south east. This year budget included east west road. The anger is that the road is not connecting any state in south east.

In a bid to support criminality they start sounding like uneducated people.

If this coastal highway is not all about criminality, they should equally award instant repairs for all the bad roads in the country and release a whooping 1 trillion naira to start up immediate work on them.
