President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, a massive infrastructure plan set to transform Nigeria’s economy. This highway will provide better access to production and marketing centers for about 30 million businesses.
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is more than just a road. It’s a vision to connect Nigerian commerce. Stretching 700 kilometers and crossing nine states, this highway will become a vital trade route, boost tourism, and create new opportunities for many years to come.
President Tinubu believes the highway will support 30 million businesses. By improving market access, it’s expected to create millions of jobs and drive economic growth and community development.
Building the highway has been challenging. It has required tough decisions, such as demolishing properties and relocating some businesses. However, President Tinubu assures that the government is committed to helping those affected, providing the necessary support and compensation.
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is more than an infrastructure project; it symbolizes hope and unity for Nigeria. It represents a step towards a future where every region is connected, trade thrives, and communities prosper.
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is a bold step forward for Nigeria. It aims to empower millions of businesses and pave the way for a brighter, more prosperous future.
