The Federal Government has promised that the construction of the initial 47 kilometers of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway will be completed by May 2025.
During a recent inspection of a previously evacuated area of the road that had been used as a dumping ground but has since been restored, the Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi, provided this reassurance.
Mr. Umahi expressed confidence in the construction company’s dependability, noting that they have the capability to complete one kilometer of concrete pavement each day. As a result, he assured that the project’s timeline would be successfully met.
He said, “I am very happy with the work and people have been asking me that we say this 47 kilometer will be commissioned by May 29, and they are counting months for me, and they are counting months for Hitech.
“But I have no fear about what Hitech is doing. First, it is good quality work, the most difficult aspect of this is settlement of the sand.”
