FG To Begin Demolition For Lagos-Calabar Highway Saturday
The Federal Government has revealed that the demolition of buildings on the right of way of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road will commence on Saturday.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos state, Korede Keisha, disclosed this during a press briefing in Lagos on Thursday.
She asked all those whose houses were marked for demolition to come to the Ministry’s Secretariat in Lagos to sort out whatever process is needed by the ministry.
She added that the demolition squad will move in on Saturday to begin removal of the marked properties.
The Minister of Works Dave Umahi recently said the Lagos-Calabar coastal road construction will take eight years and cost N4bn per kilometer. It is designed to connect Lagos to Cross River, passing through Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom states, before culminating in Cross River.
