The Nigerian government has threatened to shut down the Lagos section of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway within two weeks if safety measures and conditions along the route do not improve. Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Olufemi Dare, announced this warning during a tour of the highway in response to persistent safety breaches, vandalism and other illegal activities.
The government has given the Federal Minister of Works, David Umahi, the directive to address these issues. Dare stated that if no improvement is seen, the road will be shut down. He also mentioned that motorists and road users must comply with safety measures and conditions. The Lagos section of the coastal highway spans about 103km, with 20 major bridges across two sections. Dare noted that several bridges are still under construction.
