A visionary and very proactive government. Signed May 25, 2016, terminated May 22, 2017. Enacting timely and promptly, the termination/determination clause on delays by the concessionaire. If more public entities can be run like real business outfits without forgetting the mandatory social services, the results will be very far reaching. Today, Dubai launched a Robot Police Service. Soon, Lagos may lead a landmark development achievement in West Africa (at the least), at this pace. Wishing Ambode and his team greater direction in the choice of a new suitable concessionaire. 250 Likes 17 Shares |

realborn:I agree with you but I beg to differ on an aspect of it. How come it took so much time to get an incompetent concessionaier? See how a year has been wasted. Who recommended them and how are we sure this won't repeat itself. Time is of the essence. Time lost is lost and time na money. 16 Likes 3 Shares |

dealslip: It may look inflated but the project is massive because aside road, other channels will be embedded such as rail, pedestrian, layby, etc. Kudos to the visionary step of Ambode. I was wondering what could be delaying the construction of the project but their reason is justifiable but they shouldn't have waited up to a year before they terminate the project from the concessionaire 48 Likes 1 Share |

dealslip: If you see the 3d drawing of that bridge, you will understand why it will cost so much. Plus I think it will be the longer than 3rd mainland. Let's not forget the value of the naira in the scheme of things. That amount is roughly a little over 2billion dollars. Yet we had a case of unremitted 10 billion dollar oil money or more. 50 Likes |

DamiBukola: From what I saw, unlike no other bridge in Nigeria, I don't think it will come cheap at least not in naira given it's value. If am not mistaken the road system will be like the Brooklyn bridge, where roads are over and beneath, the suspension of the bridge over water that will span 3km? The man power required for such, safety measures that will be put in place, testing and durability after it's done and while it's being done. I also think I saw a railway would pass through on it. Looking at it where some of the materials to be used may be brought in, metals and steel of which I know Nigeria does not have a plant of such magnitude, I think it's a fair price. I think what anyone should be concerned in is that the company in charge delivers a world class job like it would for a developed country. 55 Likes 5 Shares |

DamiBukola:When you don't know, humble yourself and go and learn about it instead of arguing like you get paid for it. The burj Khalifa cost $1.5b (about N500b). Following your logic, Is it not just a building after all? Now go and find out more about the 4th mainland Bridge instead of lazily waiting for people to school you about its design. You have Internet access and videos abound on YouTube. 61 Likes 1 Share |

Useless decision by Ambode... + No one can enter this concession plan again. + Poor handling of the transaction since inception. + White elephant project + Huge investment outlay with NO returns. + Place of 'middlemen' would affect the offtake. + Mr Commissioner for Waterfront should resign for this decision. + Investors would be wary of this kind of decision. + Inflation ti take ova and I am sure new quote would have been submitted say N1.2trillion. Mynd44 day don break for Agboju oh Entirely useless decision and nonsense propaganda. Nonsense 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Kudos to a hardworking Governor... And i beg to differ as tp those saying the contract is been inflated. This is not just an ordinary road construction, it's a brigde connecting to most places in the state. And not just the bridge will be built, widening of roads leading to the bridge will be done. So at least let us put our paranoai aside and seek good development. 7 Likes 1 Share |
