The Federal Government warns it will shut the Lagos section of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway within two weeks. Multiple outlets report that the threat is tied to ongoing safety breaches and vandalism on the route, with officials saying road users must comply with required conditions to avoid closure.
The warning is issued in Lagos State by the Federal Controller of Works, Olufemi Dare, who tells motorists and other road users that the two-week period is meant to allow improvements. The reports frame the measure as enforcement of safety rules and mitigation of damage to the roadway.
While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis, they broadly agree on the same core elements: a federal warning, a two-week compliance window, and potential shutdown if violations continue. The reporting consistently presents the action as preventive, aimed at improving safety and addressing harm linked to vandalism and non-compliance along the Lagos portion of the highway.
