The Federal government has started the demolition of structures on the right of way of the 700-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, from the Mami Chula Beach, Oniru waterfront end.
Minister of Works, David Umahi, says that the exercise is to allow for the continuation of construction work on the road. He reassured that compensations for those affected by the ongoing demolition exercise which is ongoing will be completed next week.

He also gave insights on the benefits of the road in the years ahead when the project is fully completed.
