The Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi, has stated that some sections of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Sokoto- Badagry Superhighway would be commissioned by May 2025.
A statement by his media, Orji Uchenna Orji, disclosed that there are four Renewed Hope legacy projects and the inherited ongoing projects across the six geopolitical zones that are on course to be ready for commissioning by May 2025.
“Work is progressing on Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. We have the Sokoto- Badagry Superhighway. Work is seriously in progress on the project. The first 120 km, work is going on in Sokoto. It has been procured. And work is going on by Hitech, using concrete. And then, you have the Kebbi section, 250 km. Work is also going on there. And so, we believe strongly that we’ll be able to have about 20 km in both sections to commission by May 29th. In section one of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway in South West, we are very sure that we’ll commission the first 20 km in section one and 10 km in section two.”
