In a bold move to boost Nigeria’s economic arteries, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially commissioned the Lekki Deep Sea Port Access Road in Lagos, signaling a major milestone in his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The 6-lane rigid pavement road, constructed under Nigeria’s Tax Credit Scheme, now connects the Lekki Deep Sea Port directly to key inland logistics corridors. Designed to facilitate seamless cargo evacuation, the project is expected to significantly reduce congestion, cut transportation costs, and improve turnaround time at one of West Africa’s most strategic maritime hubs.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, President Tinubu hailed the project as a benchmark for future public-private sector collaboration in national development.
“Transport infrastructure is the lifeblood of economic development,” he declared. “From Lagos to Kano, Warri to Zaria, this administration is laying down a new architecture of growth.”
Reiterating his commitment to balanced development, the President also announced a series of critical road interventions across Northern Nigeria, including the Kano–Kongolam Road, Kano–Kanwar–Danja–Hadejia Road, and an array of rural access roads targeted at boosting agricultural trade, ensuring food security, and enhancing regional integration.
President Tinubu further assured that long-standing priority projects like the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Expressway and the Benin–Warri Road will receive fast-tracked attention to ensure early delivery.
“Whether in the North, South, East, or West, we are building roads that connect not just communities but destinies,” he affirmed.
The event marks another step forward in the Tinubu administration’s push to modernize Nigeria’s infrastructure backbone, ignite industrial growth, and deepen national cohesion through strategic connectivity.
