Obi Expresses Concern over Lagos-Calabar Highway Project

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has expressed concern about the Lagos-Calabar Super highway Project.

 

The former Anambra State governor made this known on his X handle this Monday saying embarking on a huge project like the Lagos-Calabar Super highway that will not be completed in the next 20 or 30 years will only worsen the problem of abandoned, uncompleted projects.

 

Obi also said most of the uncompleted roads across the country have been under construction for several years and have become death traps and security risks, but are unlikely to be completed any time soon due to poor and unplanned funding.

 

He said the new project will worsen the nation’s debt burden, saying prioritization and fiscal discipline should be the critical guiding principles when handling projects.
