What happened
Construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is progressing along the Lagos-Lekki Town corridor. The area features lush sandy beaches and historical sites, and it is noted for the Oso natural water mystery, where the ocean and fresh water lagoon interact annually, providing fresh food abundance to inhabitants. This highway makes the stretch of coastline easily accessible.
