Nigerian lawmakers demand review of Lagos-Calabar coastal highway realignment

Nigeria's House of Representatives is pressing for a review of the federal government's decision to realign the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway away from certain coastal communities, citing difficult terrain, flooding, weak subsoil, and climate risks. The move signals political pushback on a major infrastructure project, with uncertainty over whether the realignment will be reversed or adjusted. This matters as the project is a flagship transport corridor with significant economic and regional implications.
