The President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has approved the design of Sokoto-Badagry highway project as part of efforts to improve economic diversification.
The news was made known by David Umahi who is the Minister of Works while he was assuring the public of the completion of the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project within the next eight years wherein it is believed that Tinubu will complete a second term as the president.
During the inspection of the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project in Lagos on Sunday, Umahi noted the government’s commitment to improving the economic diversification of the country by committing to developing road projects that will improve economic corridors for business growth.
The 1000 kilometres Sokoto-Badagry highway road is designed and approved by the Tinubu administration as part of the Renewed Hope agenda, the minister affirmed saying further: “We have another road project that will connect Enugu to Cameroon.”
Umahi also noted that the FG is committed to building coastal roads in South-West, South-South, North-West, North-Central and major geopolitical regions of the country as part of Tinubu’s legacy projects.
The projects “will directly impact on the economy, bring in foreign investors, improve ROI, and attract multinationals into the country’s economic hub while improving the GDP,” he stressed and thereafter warned that all who have strayed into government’s lands will be properly addressed as the lands and shorelines along the Federal Government’s gazette right-of-way will be reclaimed.
