The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi says the Lagos-Calabar coastal road construction will take eight years and cost four billion naira per kilometre.
Umahi on Thursday while speaking with newsmen about the project, explained that it is an eight years in the life tenure of President Bola Tinubu.
The Minister noted that each kilometre of the coastal road would cost four billion naira but said the government’s prudence made that possible, adding that the cost is a tentative one.
According to the minister, there are plans to recoup the money via tolling, saying that there will be security at the toll gates and also some facilities like filling stations.
“At every point of tolling, we also have toll station where we have a kind of relief activities: the restaurants, filling stations, parking lots, and so on and so forth. So, people will now have confidence. In these sections, we intend to put CCTV all through.” He said.
