President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday officially commissioned the Lekki Deep Sea Port tax credit concrete road project. Alongside this, he also flagged off Section II of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the 7th axial road, signaling a major boost to Nigeria’s transportation infrastructure.

In a statement shared on his official 𝕏 handle just before the commissioning ceremony, President Tinubu highlighted the central role transportation infrastructure plays in his administration’s Renewed Hope agenda.

“Transportation infrastructure is central to the success of our Renewed Hope agenda. Today, I am commissioning a number of strategic roads designed to open up key corridors for trade, agriculture, and regional integration,” Tinubu said.

The President listed several key projects including the reinforced concrete access road to the Lekki Deep Sea Port, the Kano–Kongolam Road (Section II: Kano–Kanwar–Danja–Hadejia), and the Yakasai–Zalli Road among others in Northern Nigeria.

“I will also flag off new road projects that are critical to fast-tracking our broader infrastructure goals,” he added.

Tinubu emphasised that these roads represent more than just concrete, steel, and asphalt; they are vital investments in mobility, job creation, and Nigeria’s long-term economic competitiveness.
