The Federal Government is set to flag off construction of
the Cross River Section of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway on April 14.
The section is known as Section B3 of the coastal highway
project.
The Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, made the disclosure
at a stakeholders engagement on Section Two of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal
Highway project in Lagos on Sunday.
“We are going there, to Cross River, on the 14th, to flag off the construction. By 15, we also go to Akwa Ibom to flag off.
“That 65km is the worst terrain. It is 65km times two, which
is 130km,” he said.
On the second legacy project, Sokoto-Badagry Highway, the
minister noted that one section in Sokoto was 120km.
“The third section of Sokoto-Badagry is going to start from
Badagry, but we have a few challenges.
“We have rivers of three kilometres to cross. That is a lot
of money.
“We have proposed four options, which I am going to be
discussing with Mr President, and whichever option he chooses, that is what we
are going to choose.”
Umahi gave the assurance that procurement regarding the
project would start as soon as the discussions were over, after which work
would start. (NAN)
