Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway renamed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway

Minister of Works, David Umahi, announced the decision, stating it recognizes President Tinubu's long-standing vision for the project, which he reportedly conceived 27 years ago as governor of Lagos State. Umahi also disclosed that President Tinubu approved a 400-kilometer extension of the Fourth Legacy Highway, increasing its length from 700 kilometers to 1,100 kilometers, and the reconstruction of sections of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The Fourth Legacy Highway, originally planned to link Akwanga to Maiduguri, will now extend into Taraba State.

Additionally, approval was given for the dualization of another 400 kilometers of the East-West Road, the completion of the Ibi Bridge in Taraba State, and the construction of the 5.76-kilometer Lao Bridge. These projects are part of the government's efforts to improve connectivity, stimulate economic activities, and modernize transport infrastructure across the country.
