Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel, accompanied by the Senate Committee on Works, recently conducted an inspection tour of the coastal roads extending from Lagos through Ogun and onward to Calabar. This initiative was part of a broader effort to evaluate the current state of these crucial transportation routes.
The inspection is particularly timely as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has recently granted awards for the development of these roads, signifying a commitment to improving Nigeria’s infrastructure. The tour underscores the government’s focus on enhancing the nation’s roadways, which are vital for economic growth and connectivity.
As the committee traversed the coastal stretch, they examined various aspects of the road conditions, identifying areas that require urgent attention and those that may need long-term maintenance. The findings from this tour are expected to inform future legislative actions and budget allocations for infrastructure development.
This proactive approach by Senator Daniel and the Senate Committee on Works aligns with the government’s strategic vision to bolster Nigeria’s position as a hub for commerce and trade in the region. By prioritizing the refurbishment and expansion of key transport arteries, the administration is laying the groundwork for sustained economic prosperity.
The coastal road project, once completed, is anticipated to facilitate smoother travel and trade between the southern states and the rest of the country, ultimately contributing to the nation’s socio-economic development.
