The 23km Phase One of the Lagos-Badagry Highway is 95% completed, the Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, said on Monday in Lagos.
Umahi made this known while inspecting the project.
The minister noted that the highway comprised three lanes and two carriageways with a train track.
He expressed satisfaction at the quality and pace of the work being handled by CGC Construction Company.
“I can say they have completed the job to about 95 per cent. What is left for them to finish this phase one is only 300 metres.
“We have directed them to put the solar lights, not cable lights as they proposed. We are building for tomorrow,” he said.
