Actually something is really needed to be done on that death route called Tin Can/Apapa road. It's only those that have traveled the road that will be able to attest.

PS: reading through many comments on this thread, I think I can comfortably come to the conclusion that the problem of Nigeria is the people, not the govt, not anything else but the people

The people is the government.

ewebiodun:
SCAM ALERT.....so them noh do dia due diligence before they agreed to fix road. Now una wan review so money can come out of FG hand to u and ur cohorts. Nah lie, they agreed to fix it theyust fix it...we ain't paying a dime

Look, if you don't understand it is better to keep quiet instead of telling everybody you are ignorant! Dangote will build and maintain but will recoup their money from taxes they should have paid to govt! So it is still govt money

DWJOBScom:
The govt can't do everything so it's best to get private hands into it.

I hope it's properly regulated

When did dangote become a road contractor?

Siphoning loading................

snipesdam:
Why did it take so long to make a design and handover to him?

How many months is too long? In what time should the design be done?

They should just hand over Nigeria to Dangote. clueless pple...

My name must be richly heard globally

Handed over Sugar, Cement, Energy, Refinery (Oil and Gas) Food and Pastries, now they are handing Construction. .

Wise men discourse, fools insult and argue blindly..... I was talking about the CSR on the ijora to apapa port axis. Didn't the companies involved- dangote,flour mills and NPA do their due diligence to know the were gas pipes on the right of way...its obvious who intelligently read the whole article and who stupidly did

No disrespect why do you choose that as your username?
Is he the only rich man in history?

if you know more about him, you we understand better.

is he the only rich man in history? no but he is the number one all time richest man in history or number two if we are to include a certain man from the bible which is name i cant recollect now.

sabama007:


No but he's ranked 1st.

He takes initiative
He takes risk
He makes his MONEY

He is not the only business man. May be he has another qualification.....fulani

I don't understand how a whole fg would refuse to repair a major economic road and give it to a private individual to construct. is this a country.

Even the Almighty United States government engaged in what is called PPP. Public Private Partnership. Where the cost is either being financed by both parties or the private establishment involved. At the end of the day, the private organisation involves in such project regains it's cost back through tax holidays it will enjoy from the government. No where in the whole World, social amenities , provision of employment are left in the hands of government alone. So next time, come with facts when you want to criticize any govt policy. Government can't finance everything project at a particular time because of limited resources, hence they need to involve private organisation at certain stage.

As (temporarily) comforting as the plan may seem, Nigeria and its citizens should know that they would surely pay for such abdication of the government's responsibilities; while Dangote would be far better for it. In years to come Dangote would not only be the richest, but the most powerful man on whose shoulders rest the socio-economic and political prowess of Nigeria. It is safe to say then that Capitalism has fully taken over!!!

In other words,you are saying that dangote is a tool to secure the strategic wealth of the nation to the constanation of wealth owners.
Wealth owners will realise it too late.(full capitalisim)

Dear Wise man, am sorry for insulting you.

However, you still don't get it. May I suggest you go back and read again as I have done?

Fashola is not asking for money for the part NPA, Dangote and Flour Mills have taken as CSR. There are 2 options. The companies don't want to relocate the gas pipelines, however there is nothing in the write-up that suggest they are not willing to pay for re-aligning the road. This is in response to your first post where you alleged Fashola want money for the section of the road those organizations are doing as CSR.
The money Fashola mentioned was for the trailer park.

Dangote is a front to the powers behind the One-Nigeria idiocy.

Dangote and FMN offered to build the road with their cash.
It is a concession project.

Dangote built several concrete roads leading to his cement plants.
The roads have proven durable, so he wants to try that out on a federal road.

He believes in Nigeria, unlike most business, and there's no problem making money from what you believe.

No wonder, Okonji , once said half of Nigerian graduates are unemployable. This is a concession project, where it was clearly stated in the write - up.

Seems u r not a Nigerian, we know how these things work. No be today. They will tell u it needs to be reviewed and redesigned.

Tell me how the budget will not change, the companies will then tell u they can't go beyond their budget except FG is ready to intervene and u and I know that's money for the boys .

Lekki Epe expressway scam concession and scam dedt buy back plan should readily come to ur mind.

what facts are you talking of, u didn't even site an example of where the U.S as u claim involved in PPP to construct a major economic road that costs less than 5billion don't divert into provision of amenities and other folktales everyone knows that. we are talking about road construction. what the NPA generates in a week would fix that road. you are just trying to be mischievous.
