FG says first phase of Lagos-Calabar highway will be ready by May 2025

The Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi, gave the assurance while inspecting an evacuated but now refilled section of the road that had served as a refuse dumpsite.

Umahi said that the construction company was reliable and would achieve one kilometer of concrete pavement in a day, hence the stipulated duration of the project would still be attained.

According to him, squatters along the corridors of the site will soon be dislodged for failure to comply voluntarily.
