The Federal Government has officially renamed the Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway as the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway. Minister of Works David Umahi announced the decision during a media briefing in Abuja, saying the new name recognises President Bola Tinubu’s long standing vision for the project.
Umahi explained that Tinubu first conceived the idea of the coastal highway about 27 years ago while serving as Governor of Lagos State. He said the Ministry of Works approved the renaming after consultations with its leadership, describing it as a way of honouring the President’s role in bringing the project to reality.
The Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway is one of Nigeria’s biggest road infrastructure projects. It is expected to improve transportation, boost trade, enhance tourism and strengthen economic activities across several coastal states when completed.
