how do u think the budget of Nigeria looks before, implementation is what will be absent..if to say our budget from 2000 till date have been implemented, we would have been discussing what will buhari say at the G20 summit

This is commendable; 1. This budget is evenly spread across the six geo- political areas and equally captured critical areas. If previous infrastructural budgets have been in this manner, many of us won't be bitter over marginalization. There's nothing to compare with equity and fairness, it is a natural law that brings harmony and peaceful coexistence. 2. If buhari/APC led administration completes these roads as listed, especially those in southeast (abia most importantly), I will join APC, campaign and vote for buhari in his second tenure. Thank God I never voted for the clueless Jonathan in his second tenure bid due to abandonment of these critical roads

This is not Joke section

Since time immemorial they keep conatructing roads today.
Road construction of 2bn.

Bastards

We need to take over.

For years this has been there saying..... another story for buhari gods

1) Construction of Second Niger Bridge

2) Construction of the dual carriageway of Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja (Sections I-IV) in FCT/Kogi State

3) Construction of the Kano-Maiduguri dual carriage Road (Sections I-V) in Kano/Bauchi/Yobe/Borno states

4) Rehabilitation of Enugu-Port Harcourt Dual Carriageway (Sections I-IV) in Enugu/Abia/Rivers states

5) Rehabilitation/reconstruction of the Lagos-Shagamu-Ibadan Expressway in Lagos/Oyo states

6) Construction of Loko-Oweto Bridge in Nasarawa/Benue states

7) Reconstruction of outstanding sections of Benin-Ofosu-Ore-Sagamu Road in Edo/Ondo/Ogun

Points of correction here please

1. Second Niger Bridge: construction or continuation/completion?

2. Benin-Ore road is probably the most "motorable" interstate road in the country and hence need nothing. If you told me Sagamu-Ore axis, that needs intervention.

3. Lagos-Sagamu-Ore-Benin is the most important route in the country as is links the business hubs of the country: Lagos, Delta, Onitsha, Aba. Hence, that route should breathe first touch and not those roads up there.

I just smell tribalism here!

Who osun offend?
Considering the fact that APC got block votes from osun state. It's quite pathetic

implementation, who Is going to implement it,those criminals in the ministry or who?no check and balance that is why govt will approve a project and it won't be executed.

Nice breakdown, i pray and hope these projects get delivered esp the 2nd Niger bridge

It's commendable. We pray they have the funds to complète them.

quite commendable! if these projects can be duly implemented, it will be a big plus for the buhari-led government.

God punish this Govt, wicked people yaff finish us........... And kwara stage govt have been collecting tax for that Ilorin-jebba road ehn. They locked up more then 5000 shops early this year and each shops must pay N3500 as tax for the road

Planning without execution; we hope it's different this time around

It is highly commendable. Buhari is really working.

We are here
Another joke
Lala do your work

We need to take over,who is the we?Nigerian Youths I guest.

Why can't they dualize that Akure-Ondo road. Peeps will free Ilesha road and follow Ore to Lagos.
Why?
Even Akoko roads to Kogi are nowhere to be found.

Nairalanders won't see good news thread like this to come and discuss, na tribal thread and witchy witchy or pastor thread dey carry their attention pass..


Anyways, kudos to the FG for capturing all geopolitical zones with the budget and we're hoping they follow through with execution. I am personally glad to see the 2nd Niger bridge given priority 1 designation.

God bless our country Nigeria!

Btw, when Hon Asadu attacked Amaechi about non capturing of SE in railway projects, did he refer him to the original masterplan of the railway modernisation project or am I missing something? It seems to capture SE state capitals
