Founder of Silverbird Group Senator Ben Murray-Bruce former Cross River Governor Donald Duke visited the Lagos-Calabar coastal road construction site on Tuesday.

Ben Murray-Bruce revealed this in a post on his X page.

He commended the Federal Government for the project, saying it is one of the greatest infrastructure wonders of our time.

The senator shared pictures of himself and Duke at the site, writing, “Today, I visited the Lagos-Calabar coastal road construction site with my good friend, the former governor of Cross River State, H.E Donald Duke.

“The project is truly magnificent and unlike any other. Upon completion, it will undoubtedly be recognized as one of the greatest infrastructure wonders of our time.”

This comes weeks after minister of works David Umahi has flagged off the demolition of structures on the government’s right of way for the construction of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.

Landmark Group CEO Paul Onwuanibe earlier urged the government to rethink its strategies in building a coastal highway connecting Lagos and Calabar to ensure businesses do not suffer.
