The Federal Government has officially renamed the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying the decision recognises his long-standing vision for the landmark infrastructure project.
Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, announced the decision during a media briefing in Abuja on Thursday. He said the ministry resolved to rename the highway after consultations with its leadership and staff.
According to Umahi, Tinubu first conceived the idea for the coastal highway about 27 years ago while serving as governor of Lagos State and has now brought the vision to life as President.
“That highway is named President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway.”
