The Minister of Works, David Umahi, yesterday explained in detail the cost of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.
Umahi’s explanation came on the heels of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s recent claim that the cost of the project was N8bn per kilometre.
The Minister clarified that constructing the coastal highway would cost N4bn per kilometre, which indicates that the total project will be completed at the cost of N2.8trn.
