Lagos- Calabar coastal superhighway project from the lekki free trade zone axis

Here are some key points about the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Superhighway project from the Lekki Free

Trade Zone axis:

- The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Superhighway is a monumental civil engineering project that will span 700km across nine coastal states.

- The highway will connect the Lekki Deep Seaport and the Lekki economic corridor, which includes the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex.

- The project's first phase is a 47.47km section beginning from Victoria Island and will have five lanes on each side of the dual carriageway and a train track in the middle.

- The highway will reduce the distance between Lagos and Ondo state, making it about an hour's journey from Ibeju-Lekki in Lagos to Araromi in Ondo state.

- The project is expected to increase the size of Lagos State's economy by 50% and will also serve as a catalyst for the economic transformation of Cross River State.
