On Saturday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu inaugurated the first completed segment of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Superhighway, calling it a crucial link for trade, tourism, and national unity.
The significant ceremony in Lagos was part of the events celebrating the second anniversary of President Tinubu’s administration.
The event also featured the commissioning of various completed infrastructure projects nationwide and the launch of several new initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
During the ceremony, President Tinubu stressed that his administration sees infrastructure not merely as “brick and mortar,” but as vital catalysts for sustainable economic growth, job opportunities, expanded possibilities, and national cohesion.
Alongside the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, President Tinubu virtually inaugurated several other significant road projects, including the 166.8km Shagamu–Ibadan section of the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway and the 94km Eleme Junction to Ahoada segment of the East-West Road.
Other commissioned projects included the 67.1km Alesi–Ugep Road in Cross River State, the 30.4km Ikorodu–Shagamu Road connecting Lagos and Ogun States, and the first 16km of the 61km Enugu–Lokpanta Expressway.
Additionally, the New Artisan Market Bridge in Enugu, a 75-meter dual-span bridge, and a new 75-meter single-span bridge at Akpoha in Ebonyi State were inaugurated.
President Tinubu also launched the initial 15km of the Port Harcourt–Onne Junction (East-West Road), the 48.6km Lagos–Badagry Expressway (Agbara–Seme Border), a rehabilitated section of the Lagos–Badagry Expressway, and a segment of the Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway.
To further enhance national connectivity, President Tinubu initiated construction on several new road projects as part of his administration’s commitment.
These projects encompass the Ibadan–Ife–Ilesha–Akure–Benin Highway, the Nembe–Brass Road in the Niger Delta, the reconstruction of sections of the Enugu–Onitsha Expressway, and the construction of the Abakpa Flyover in Enugu State.
