The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway has been described as one President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s best gifts to Nigerians. Olusegun Adeniyi who stated this in a statement also noted that even before completion, the mega road has already reduced travel time for commuters by fifty percent.
“The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is one of President Bola Tinubu’s best gifts to Nigeria.
Those who have condemned this historic project will be ashamed of themselves when the Tinubu administration completes the road.
Though construction is ongoing, the stretch from Ogombo to Ahmadu Bello Way has greatly blessed users, slashing commuting time by more than 50 per cent”, Olusegun said.
Olusegun while reliving his experience on the road, praised President Tinubu for initiating the project and thanked the contractors for delivering a quality job.
“On Friday morning, when I set out from Ajah to Isaac John in Ikeja, Google Maps first indicated the journey would last two and a half hours.
But in a flash, it showed me an alternative route that will last just 70 minutes.
“I took the option and found myself on the Coastal Road. In less than 25 minutes, we arrived at the Ahmadu Bello end of the road.
Except for the traffic snarl at the MRS fuel station caused by motorists queuing for Dangote petrol, the journey to Ikeja was smooth sailing.
We arrived in Ikeja in a record 65 minutes on a usually traffic-busy Friday.
Blessed be the visioner and dreamer, and blessed be the contractors for the quality work on the road.”
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway which is designed to traverse all coastal states, is not fully opened to traffic.
