I like the Cross River guy. He is a visioneer and wise beyond measure. He went all out to get Buhari to commission, not because of the road itself but because if the seaport must fly, the Feds must first approve.

And more importantly, I like the picture. In this picture is a PDP Governor and an APC President.

Against all odds, they have shelved partisanship and upheld development.

Many APC fellas would hate this picture or would start dreaming that Ayade would decamp to APC.
MANY PDP fellas would also wonder why one of their best materials is associating brazenly with Buhari.

Well truth is, true development minded fellas understand that getting all the collaboration you need would serve your best interests.


Once again, big kudos to the Ben Ayade, the CRS Governor. A truly digital road. I'm impressed. Cross River always produces woulderful governors. Remember Donald Duke??

Nice one! We have decided to let "parties" create divisions and enemities amongst us. Fortunately or unfortunately,nigeria is a "hundred" party system. You must be under a party to be voted for. Our politicians should know that being in different parties doesn't make you enemies of each other, they are elected by the people for the people! Once u get the post forget wether na umbrella u carry come or na broom sweep you come. JUST DO YOUR BLEEDING JOB RIGHT!

Nice one PMB and Ayade. Show them say u guys are for frigin nobody. One luv ma piple.
Peace out!

The governor is very smart, building a seaport and linking it with an Highway to the north is good for business.

Most Northern business owners will want these to happen fast.

Where are the wailers who said they are wailing for a better Nigeria? Are they avoiding a laudable project by their party man because the lovable president went to kick it off? Where is barcanista? Come and thank and congratulate the president for putting Nigeria first before party, no be only curse una go sabi.
It's very significant that he's not even there for commissioning of a project but ground breaking. Very commendable.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday launched the 260-kilometre Calabar-Kastina-Ala Super Highway road project at Obung, Cross River.

The President expressed the hope that the road would create a new vista of business opportunities for Cross River and the nation at large while launching the project.

Buhari commended Governor Ben Ayade for his vision and foresight in conceptualising the project.

“So, I must at this juncture commend the state governor, Sen. Ben Ayade and his team for their foresight in conceptualising this project.

“Given the multiplier effect these two laudable projects are expected to generate, in terms of aggregate spinoffs, I want to assure you of my determination and as well as the commitment of the Federal Government to ensuring that this road and indeed the seaport runs to a quick completion.

“Let me commend our young Governor, Professor Ben Ayade who globe-trotted to get these core foreign investors to invest in these huge projects.”

According to the president, the road which will link south-south and northern parts of the country, when completed, will also ensure a reduction in travel time and man-hour.

He said that the project was a significant milestone in the economic transformation agenda of the state.

Buhari, who was forced to abandon his official Chopper and embarked on road journey to the venue of the event due to heavy rain, pledged to be back in due course for the inauguration of the project.

“I feel the warmth of your embrace and the passion in your gaze.

“The future of Cross River State is certain.

“I am one with you on this. I promise to come back to commission (inaugurate) this road upon completion and that is very soon too.’’

In his remarks, Ayade said apart from the road project, the state would also be constructing a deep sea port in Bakassi.

According to him, the two projects will be executed through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) .

He said the idea behind the projects rooted back to when the state lost its oil wells to Akwa Ibom upon the loss of Bakassi.

“The theological kinetics of this road started with the loss of our oil wells consequent upon the loss of Bakassi, therefore the state was reduced to wants in body and spirit.

“It became imperative that we reconstruct a new means of production; we need to open the horizon to get teeming young people employed.

“It is against such background as I sought to leave this state it became very clear and evident that we must construct new means of production.

“Within the limit of our resources, the projects would have been impossible but because we know that you are the President of all, we know that once we dream, it is his duty to make the dream a reality that is why we dreamt that we need to construct a deep seaport.

“As soon as I sent a letter to you on the Bakassi seaport, it took less than one day in your office and it was minuted out.”

On the 260km super highway, Ayade stated that it would serve as an evacuation corridor from the seaport.

“It will have a track of 14metres and a key wall of 680 metres that will allow for vessels from outside and every other vessel to berth.

“It will, therefore, provide an evacuation corridor for vessels, material and equipment lying in Calabar uniformly, effortlessly to Northern Nigeria.”

According to the governor, the existing federal road will require up to five to six hours to get to Benue State from Calabar but with the construction of this super highway, only one hour, 30 minutes will be spent.

“What is special about this super highway? It is that we have internet connectivity all through the highway, a photographic solar system with a satellite antenna.

“Mr president, it is also going to be the first to have anti-sleep bumps on the highway.

“It is also going to be the first to have speed cameras. It is also going to be the first to have ambulatory services.

“Mr President, this road is a digital road, designed for the 21st century.’’

The governor expressed optimism that the road would be completed in the next four to five years.

“We envisioned that this road will be done in the next four to five years.

“We also have people who have collaborated and partnered with us.

“ They include an Israeli-British firm, the broad spectrum that had provided 500 million euros.

“We also have Heritage, Skye and Zenith banks.

“We know that with the support Mr. President has given to us, the project will be a reality.’’

So the loss of oil wells and the revenue made the Governor to be come creative and think out of the box. I believe other governors saw what I sawwwwwww oh. God Help Our leaders to think we'll.

The road shouldn't be heading north. Rather , we should be having a mega- ring -road that cuts across the region/ geopolitical zone. while a modern rail can go to the so called katsina-ala.

we need to live these boko haram people to really bomb themselves because of politics of hate. You think any of the northern governors would have looked at a road heading south? No.

This road needs a re-design.
