Controversy Surrounds Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway Project Funding

The Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project has sparked controversy, with Governor Seyi Makinde questioning the cost per kilometer and transparency. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has raised concerns about the transparency of the project's funding and contract awards.

President Bola Tinubu commissioned the first 30 kilometers of the project in Lagos. Governor David Umahi defends the project, citing a public-private partnership approach.

The project aims to connect Lagos to Cross River State, passing through several coastal states.
