Future Highways: FG Promises Imminent Completion of Lagos-Badagry Road!

Phase 1 of the ongoing repair of the Lagos-Badagry-Seme border road is currently 80% complete, and the Federal Government has stated that it will be done by April 2025.

During an inspection trip of the 24.3km ECOWAS route project, Minister of Works David Umahi revealed this and promised the government would help the contractor, China Geo Engineering Company (CGC), to make the deadline.

Phase 1 alone now costs ?71 billion, while the project's overall cost, including Phase 2, is now anticipated to be ?145 billion. The project was first awarded in 2018 for ?63 billion.

Umahi also examined other Lagos infrastructure projects, such as the Lagos-Abeokuta Road, the Third Mainland Bridge, the Eko Bridge, and the Carter Bridge.

Ninety percent of the country's 271 palliative road projects are finished and scheduled to be put into service in April, he said.

While the Ogun State government is still working on its portion of the Lagos-Abeokuta Road, the Lagos State government has also committed to restoring the 18km of the road.
