Ben Murray-Bruce, a former senator representing Bayelsa East from 2015 to 2019 and founder of the Silverbird Group, has stated that the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway will be a lifeline for business and a catalyst for economic development.
Murray-Bruce disclosed this during his latest Common Sense with Ben series, which he shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday.
According to the Silverbird Group founder, once completed, the 700 km coastal highway will slash travel time, reduce transportation costs, and increase access to markets and resources, thereby transforming opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, and travellers and boosting economic growth.
