FG approves design for 1000km Sokoto-Badagry road network

As part of the Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the commencement of the design of the 1000-kilometer Sokoto-Badagry Coastal Highway has been approved by President Bola Tinubu as stated by the Honorable Minister of Works, Dave Umahi

He revealed this during his inspection visit to the km 47 axis of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project in Lagos.

Umahi noted that the coastal road would connect the South-West, South-South, North-East, North-West and North-Central regions of Nigeria when completed.

He said, “I am 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 have started the design and I’m very sure that as soon as the Federal Executive Council approves it, we will be starting at the Sokoto side, which is the zero point.”

He also expressed the government’s intentions  to connect the six -geo-political zones in the country with a network of roads that would foster a more secure, safer and sustainable transportation system.

He added, “We also have another spur which is going to go from Enugu-Abakaliki-Ogoja going to Cameroon.

So, we have that spur and it’s about 361 kilometres, going through Otukpo to Benue to Nasarawa and ends up at Apo in Abuja.’’

“We are also going to be presenting it to Mr President, and when this is done, then the coastal routes as we promised will go to circle the entire country.”

Umahi said the need to realign the coastal highway around the axis of the Lekki Deep Sea Port at the point of km 47 by constructing a flyover bridge across the Dangote/Hitech concrete pavement to align with the economic values of the coastal highway.

He added, “We have chosen another alignment that is going to be parallel to the road that is going to the Lekki Deep Seaport at kilometre 47, and that is the end of section one of phase one.

“So, we are very happy with that decision. We use a flyover to fly over the Dangote-HiTech Road that is coming from Lekki Deep Seaport going to Epe and joining the road that is going from Lekki Deep Sea to Lagos being done by the State Government.”
