The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Hon. Moremi Ojudu, on Tuesday, joined President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Honourable Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, and other eminent dignitaries at the official commissioning of the first completed 30-kilometer section of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway — a major milestone in Nigeria’s infrastructural transformation journey.
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway represents a bold step towards strengthening national connectivity, unlocking regional trade corridors, and accelerating economic growth across multiple states. This project, which forms a critical part of the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, is set to open new frontiers for investment, tourism, commerce, and transportation.
Hon. Moremi Ojudu highlighted the importance of the project, describing it as “a legacy in motion, and a clear demonstration of the Renewed Hope Agenda being translated into visible national development.”
Special recognition was given to the Honourable Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, for his tireless leadership, technical expertise, and unwavering dedication in ensuring the timely execution of this historic project. His stewardship has been instrumental in driving the vision of infrastructural renewal across Nigeria.
The commissioning of the first 30 kilometers signals the beginning of a larger effort to complete the full stretch of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which is expected to span several states, bringing with it unprecedented opportunities for employment, commerce, and regional integration.
As the Renewed Hope Agenda continues to unfold, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway stands as a living symbol of President Tinubu’s commitment to building critical infrastructure that will serve generations to come.
