Tinubu hails Lagos-Calabar Coastal highway as symbol of hope, unity, prosperity

President Bola Tinubu, on Sunday, described the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as a symbol of hope, unity, and prosperity for Nigerians.

The 700 km Lagos-Calabar coastal road is intended to link Lagos to Cross River, passing through Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom states before ending in Cross River.

The project has come under heavy criticism by Nigerians because of the demolition of some buildings, with many believing the timing is inappropriate.
