Federal Government Renames Coastal Highway in Honour of Tinubu

The Federal Government has renamed the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway.

Minister of Works David Umahi announced the decision during a media briefing in Abuja, saying the project reflects President Tinubu's long-standing vision dating back to his time as Lagos State governor.

 Umahi said the ministry approved the renaming after consultations with its leadership in recognition of the President's role in bringing the project to life.

He also revealed that President Tinubu has approved a 400-kilometre extension of the Fourth Legacy Highway and the reconstruction of sections of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The minister described the first section of the 750-kilometre coastal highway, linking Victoria Island to Lekki, as a major milestone in Nigeria's infrastructure development.
