The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is an ambitious project aimed at connecting the western and southeastern regions of Nigeria, boosting cross-country connectivity, and improving trade relations.
The 7th axial road is another strategic artery designed to alleviate urban congestion and enhance connectivity in Lagos.
Section II of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is a flagship project intended to improve connectivity across southern Nigeria.
The Kano-Kongolam Railway Project, also flagged off by President Tinubu, will link Kano, Kogi, Anambra, and the Niger Delta. Both projects are expected to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in the region.
“Transportation infrastructure is central to the success of our Renewed Hope agenda. Today, I am commissioning a number of strategic roads designed to open up key corridors for trade, agriculture, and regional integration.
“These include the reinforced concrete access road to the Lekki Deep Sea Port, the Kano–Kongolam Road (Section II: Kano–Kanwar–Danja–Hadejia), the Yakasai–Zalli Road, and several others across Northern Nigeria. I will also flag off new road projects that are critical to fast-tracking our broader infrastructure goals.
“These roads are more than concrete, steel, and asphalt. They are investments by your government in mobility, jobs, and Nigeria’s long-term economic competitiveness,” Tinubu noted.
