What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Federal Ministry of Works shifted the route decision for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, moving it away from the original coastal corridor through Ondo State. The reported realignment moves the project towards the Ovia/Gelegele axis of Edo State. The Ministry of Works stated that the revised alignment was chosen to minimize major water crossings and improve the project.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The shift has prompted the Ugbo Development Congress to call for a technical review, expressing concern that the change could leave coastal communities in Ondo State disconnected from intended economic stimulus. The original concept for the Ondo section involved a route through coastal communities along the Mahin-Ugbo axis.

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is a federal government project progressing across Lagos, Akwa Ibom, Ondo, and Ogun states.
