In a significant move to ensure the timely delivery of critical national infrastructure, the Honorable Minister of Works, Senator (Engr.) David Umahi, on Saturday, February 21, In a significant move to ensure the timely delivery of critical national infrastructure, the Honorable Minister of Works, Senator (Engr.) David Umahi, on Saturday, February 21, conducted a comprehensive site inspection of the Lagos 7th Axial Road (Lekki Port Access Road) Project.
The project, a vital artery for Nigeria’s maritime and industrial logistics, is being executed by the China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC). The Minister was accompanied during the inspection by senior management and technical teams from CHEC.
During his tour of the various construction sections, Engr. Umahi conducted an assessment of the ongoing engineering techniques and the overall structural design. Speaking after the inspection, the Minister expressed satisfaction with the visible transformation of the site. He specifically lauded the “rapid expansion of work faces” and the “marked improvement in the site’s outlook” achieved in recent weeks.
“The quality of work and the standard of construction measures being implemented here are commendable,” the Minister stated.
To ensure the project meets its completion deadlines, the Minister issued a clear directive to the CHEC project team to maintain the current momentum and guarantee the project’s Construction Quality. He urged the contractors to further scale up the deployment of equipment to facilitate an accelerated construction pace across all sections.
Following joint lagoon geotechnical drilling and soil tests conducted by the Federal Ministry of Works, a third-party consulting team, and China Harbour,
Engr. Umahi provided a definitive resolution regarding the design for the LOT 1 Lagoon Section. After a rigorous technical and economic evaluation of various proposals, the Minister officially announced that the project will maintain the original bridge design.
A Catalyst for Socio-Economic Transformation
Beyond its engineering milestones, the completion of the Lagos 7th Axial Road is set to be a game-changer for both the state and the nation. As a primary artery for the Lekki Deep Sea Port and the surrounding Free Trade Zones, the road will drastically reduce cargo evacuation times, lowering the cost of doing business and positioning Nigeria as a more competitive player in global trade.
For the residents of Lagos, the project promises significant relief from the perennial traffic congestion along the Lekki-Epe corridor, facilitating smoother commutes and enhancing the overall quality of life. By fostering industrial growth and attracting foreign direct investment, the highway will serve as a powerful engine for job creation and poverty alleviation, ultimately reinforcing Lagos’s status as Africa’s premier economic hub and delivering on the Federal Government’s promise of sustainable development for all Nigerians.
The visit concluded with the Minister reaffirming the Federal Government’s commitment to supporting the contractors in overcoming external bottlenecks, ensuring that the 7th Axial Road becomes a reality on schedule.In a significant move to ensure the timely delivery of critical national infrastructure, the Honorable Minister of Works, Senator (Engr.)
