CALABAR SECTION: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway - THE SCALE IS MASSIVE!

The transformation is real! Join us for an exclusive, on-the-ground look at the Calabar Section of the multi-billion dollar Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project. We’re taking you right into the heart of the construction site to show you the incredible scale of work currently underway.

In this update, we speak directly with the workers and supervisors on-site to get the "real story."

We discuss:

✅ The current progress and what’s been achieved so far.

✅ The challenges the team is facing (including the unpredictable weather).

✅ How this "Mega Road" is already impacting the local community and providing opportunities for the youth.

✅ The projected timeline for completion.

From the heavy machinery in action to the long-term vision for Nigeria’s infrastructure, this video captures why this project is being called a game-changer for the next generation.

What do you think about the progress in the Calabar Section?

Babyloniaism i call iti.

Why are they complaint about Tinubu.

But it is the mediocre expensive 2km single lane village road that Otti is constructing at #6b per kilometer that is ok.

Imagine make this kind of development news be giving some people a running stomach.

May we not be bitter and sad about the progress of one's country. Amen

The issue with them is , they don't know the psychological effects of their attitude and behavior.

Too much of frowning always reflect in your face and body. This might look like a joke but just take example of some of these politicians. Obasanjo, Obaseki, Wike. They frown on every little thing which is appearing in the structure of their face

Now imagine frowning on development news laced with chronic hatred.

Peter obi will cancelled this project if elected president.

Indeed, it's good to know that the Calabar section of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is already in full swing. Those who thought the project would not go beyond Lagos State would be confounded by their negative thought patterns.

The Ondo and Ogun States sections too have fully commenced. I would be more elated if the Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom State segments commence too. There are ALSO "two road spurs" already approved by the Federal Government linking Benin City in Edo State and Ebonyi State to the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and that's a big deal. The Calabar section of the highway too is to be linked directly to the Bakassi Deep Sea Port thereby opening up the economy of the South of South States.

You're right... Even one of Atiku Abubakar's sons was blunt by condemning the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project but he didn't condemn the Lagos-Sokoto Highway (which clearly shows the mindset of these folks when they get into political power. This is where the current Nigerian President 'Bola Tinubu and his team have to sit up. There are indeed deep rumblings from Nigerians with regards to security issues which can easily be tackled with the costly purchase of advanced surveillance and attack drones fitted with infrared devices which can pick up human movements in thick forests and launched LEO satellite for tracking and telecommunications.

The artificial inflation in high cost of food items, costly transportation, and more can be brought down sharply with the massive deployment of the cheaper CNG fuel before the next Presidential election cycle begins. Failure to do all these with a sense of urgency, the APC would lose because even a vast number of Yoruba folks online and offline are not smiling with Tinubu at all. These are the people from his own ethnic base vowing online and on radio phone-in to vote against him. He and his team (which includes 'Femi Gbaja, the national lawmakers, and the Governors must sit up) can still turn things around in favor of Nigerian folks and deal with the foreign Fula militia bandits and Tuareg Lakurawa militia bandits from Mali and Niger Republic who have invaded several Nigerian communities doing all sorts of negativity.

Highway of fraud n corruption

Thank you so much for the Video clips, I am deeply satisfied with the level of work done so far. Tinubu, you are the best president Nigeria have had so far, I hereby testify that you deserve the second term.

@Parachoko,

Thanks for the impressive updates on the Akwa Ibom section.of the coastal highway. It's one aspect of the Nigerian Federal government that gives me and other positive folks massive joy and I hope they sustain the momentum so that it doesn't become an abandoned project. A highway project that was first conceived back in the early 1980s when Shehu Shagari was the President has to be finished in record time and with uninterrupted good governance.

Enjoy your weekend!

Nigeria is bigger than your village, it has over 230million people. You are likely a kid with internet access.

All these is not up to 10km of paved section in 3 years. Is that the pace they want it to connect to Lagos?
