The Federal Government says the demolition of buildings on the right of way of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road will begin on Saturday.

The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos state, Korede Keisha, who disclosed this at a media briefing yestderday  asked all those whose houses were marked for demolition to come to the Ministry’s Secretariat in Lagos to sort out whatever process is required by the ministry.

She said the demolition squad will move in on Saturday to begin removal of the marked properties.

Recall that the Minister of Works Dave Umahi recently said the Lagos-Calabar coastal road construction will take eight years and cost N4billion per kilometre.  

It is designed to connect Lagos to Cross River, passing through Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom states, before culminating in Cross River.
