The Federal Government has launched the Coastal Highway Guards to safeguard the 750-kilometre, 10-lane Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway from vandalism and unauthorized activities. The initiative, announced by the Minister of Works, David Umahi, involves 40 officers who will patrol the highway, report suspicious activities, restrict hawking and keke/nokke (motorcycle) usage, and prevent loitering.
Retired General Adekunle Shodunke will lead the team, working alongside state security agencies. Umahi emphasized that the guards are not an "empowerment program" but a dedicated job to protect national assets, aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope agenda.
