Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, have dismissed claims linking the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway to flooding in Lagos.
Both government officials described the claim as misinformation, according to a statement by Sanwo-Olu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile, on Tuesday.
They spoke during a courtesy visit to Sanwo-Olu by Umahi and some members of the National Assembly during which they assessed ongoing infrastructure projects in the state and addressed public concerns about flooding.
Sanwo-Olu commended the Federal Government for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, describing it as transformative.
The governor said that the highway would boost economic growth, improve connectivity and enhance Nigerians’ quality of life.
