Story details

Nigeria’s House of Representatives urged the Federal Ministry of Works to reconsider a proposed realignment of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway and retain the original route through coastal corridors in Ondo and Delta states. The National Assembly Library Trust Fund reported the resolution on 21 October, following a motion by Thomas Ereyitomi.

The House cited the Ogheye–Orere–Ugborodo–Escravos corridor in Delta, which hosts energy infrastructure including the Chevron tank farm, the Escravos gas-to-liquids plant and flow stations. It asked the Works Committee to oversee the resolution and report within four weeks; the motion does not settle the final route.
