Nigeria Set to Build Africa’s First Underwater Tunnel
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu continues to redefine Nigeria’s infrastructure landscape with another bold and historic initiative, the construction of Africa’s first underwater tunnel.
This groundbreaking project, announced by the Federal Ministry of Works under Engr. David Umahi will connect Ahmadu Bello Way on Victoria Island through Snake Island to the Badagry corridor. The tunnel, estimated at 2.9 to 3.5 kilometres in length, represents a major leap in engineering innovation and urban connectivity, a feat never before attempted on the continent.
The proposed tunnel is more than a piece of infrastructure; it is a symbol of President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to modernization and national transformation. Just as he turned Lagos into West Africa’s economic hub during his time as governor, PBAT is now extending that same visionary leadership to the entire nation.
By linking the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway with the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway, this project will not only ease transportation but also connect northern and southern Nigeria in ways that will supercharge trade, tourism, and industrial growth.
This initiative perfectly aligns with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, a roadmap for prosperity anchored on innovation, infrastructure, and inclusive economic growth.
With this project, PBAT is proving that Nigeria can dream big and execute world-class developments. The tunnel will decongest Lagos traffic, boost marine and logistics efficiency, and improve access to key economic zones like the Lekki Deep Sea Port, Snake Island, and the Badagry Free Trade Area. Each of these nodes will drive investment, create jobs, and position Nigeria as a leading player in Africa’s blue economy.
Critics often talk, but PBAT acts. While others debate or recycle slogans, this administration is turning ambitious ideas into tangible realities from roads, rails, ports, and now, an underwater tunnel. It’s a clear testament that leadership is not about noise but about results.
This project stands as another reminder that under PBAT, Nigeria is no longer waiting for the world to bring development; Nigeria is building it with its own hands, technology, and courage.
In every sense, the proposed underwater tunnel is a legacy in motion, one that will outlive this administration and transform Nigeria’s infrastructural identity. From Lagos to Badagry, from north to south, President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope is no longer a slogan; it’s a visible revolution taking shape under the ground and across the nation.
With bold projects like this, PBAT is not just connecting roads, he’s connecting dreams, people, and the promise of a stronger, more united Nigeria.

5. “When I came into office, I removed the petrol subsidy on my first day. The country was approaching bankruptcy, and there was no longer sufficient money to sustain the subsidy payments,” he said.
4. “I hear some of my political opponents promising to return Nigeria to the subsidy regime. But we cannot return to the past,” the President said, defending the decision to end the subsidy as necessary to confront the country’s financial difficulties.
3. Using the biblical account of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt, the President insisted that the country must remain on the path of reform despite the difficulties Nigerians have faced.
2. Tinubu, who removed the petrol subsidy on his first day in office in May 2023, said his administration would not return the country to what he described as failed economic policies, dismissing opposition promises to restore the subsidy as a call to take Nigeria backwards.
1. PBAT has ruled out a return to the petrol subsidy regime, declaring that Nigeria cannot afford to reverse the economic reforms introduced by his administration, as he rallied young supporters behind his re-election bid ahead of the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
