A three-man delegation of the United Kingdom Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC UK), yesterday inspected part of the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road.
The delegation said the inspection was part of its desire to promote the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
Publicity Secretary of the APC UK Chapter, Tunde Ajisola, gave kudos to Tinubu for bringing the vision to reality. He added that he was impressed with the level of progress made so far on the road.
“This enduring vision reminds me of 1959 when MI was constructed in the UK. People from all over the world came to see the beautiful road and they expressed delight .
“This brings us to that era because Lagos -Calabar Coastal Road is an economic corridor that is going to run across the southern states of this country. And there is going to be a linkage to Sokoto-Badagry as well.
“For me, it is money well spent and we say a very big thank you to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for making us proud with this project”, he said.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Chairman South-APC UK Chapter, Olumuyiwa Adesua explained that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road was a vision that came to reality because of the courage of President Tinubu.
“The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road is not all about Nigeria because from here you can get to the Republic of Benin or Togo and that is massive.
“I have worked in the transport sector in the UK for years, and I know that the biggest employer of labour is the transport sector and this is also happening here .
“There is a need for the National Assembly to create a bill for the maintenance of projects like this as Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road is not all about our generation but about the generations that are yet unborn,” he stated.
