The Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, said on Sunday that he had been given a presidential directive on the immediate design of the Sokoto- Badagry Coastal Highway.
Umahi spoke after he inspected the end of Section one, phase one, of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and its realignment in Lagos.
I’m happy that Mr President has also directed me to start the immediate design of the Sokoto-Badagry Coastal Highway.
This one is a spur of the Coastal highway, and that one is 1000 kilometres.
“We’ve started the design and I’m very sure that as soon as Federal Executive Council approves it , we will be starting at Sokoto side, which is the zero point.
“We also have another spur which is going to go from Enugu -Abakaliki-Ogoja going to Cameroon
