The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has expressed satisfaction with the level of work on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, saying that 30 kilometres of the road will be made available for President Bola Tinubu to inaugurate by May 25, 2025.
The Minister, who disclosed this on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, is also delighted with the quality of work done by the contractor so far, jokingly comparing it with the streets of heaven.
“The beginning of section one, as at today, about 15 kilometres by two carriage way on the average has been achieved, and at the end of the project at Eleko where section one stopped, about 5 kilometres has been achieved.
“So, the idea is by 25th of May 30 Kilometres continuously will be made available for Mr President to Commission from the beginning of section one down to kilometre 0 to 20,” Umahi said. (Channels)
