gregg2: Bunch of greedy criminals

1) Where is the Lekki International Airport he promised us will be ready by December 2012?

2) What about the Lekki Seaport?

3) Where are the trains we were told he ordered from Canada since 2011?

4) Why is he abandoning the much hyped Lagos - Badagry expressway that he lobbied Fed Govt to handover to him?

5) Why is a state like Lagos still without portable pipeborne water?

meccuno: the surprising thing is that when issues like this are read and disseminated,people rejoice....it is a good development,but i still think it is very unnecessary...there are very basic things that are begging for attention in Lagos like good roads,security,health facilities,and the most important of all,education.....if he had channeled these large sums of money to education,i believe Lagos would be a better place.......and am very sure that the project would be on the island.....i will not congratulate this guy on structures that he puts on the island because the island residents are not the people that voted for him alone.........hope its not a question of the tail wagging the dog again......

Lagos Cable Car Transport Project
Projects >Lagos Cable Car Transport…




Lagos Cable Car
Trico Capital is the Financial Adviser to Ropeways Transport Limited, the sponsors of the US$275million transport project to develop a 12.85 km network of cable cars serving the metropolis of Lagos and connecting Lagos Island with both the mainland and Victoria Island, using Doppelmayr proprietary 3S technologies.

With over 20 million inhabitants, Lagos is a rapidly growing megacity. The existing roadway infrastructure in which the current mass transport options rely, is heavily overcrowded with Lagosians spending up to 6 hours of their work day commuting in heavy traffic.

The cable car transport project, which will be affordable to all, will act to relieve pressure on the traffic system and reduce average journey times by as much as 70 minutes each way, with 9,000 vehicles taken off the roads each day, alleviating congestion and reducing pollution.

With construction planned to commence in 2013 and operations starting in 2014/2015, the project comprises some 8 stations in three routes beginning at Ijora, Apapa and Victoria Island respectively and with a central hub around Adeniji Adele. The system will be designed to accommodate up to 240,000 trips daily. Financing will be met by through a consortium of local sponsors and international and local financial institutions lead by the African Development Bank (Afdb).

kettykin: Super story !!!

AjanleKoko:

2 million people, definitely an exaggeration. But traffic on the waterways is increasing.

But his healthcare record isn't that poor tho. He's refurbished a number of general hospitals and health centers, pregnant women are treated for free in government facilities, and seniors are subsidized. I would say 55% pass mark for healthcare. The real failure is in education.

texazzpete: 2 million people transported daily via water? I find this figure hard to believe.

Fashola is doing an Ok job though. Sometimes it's almost easy to forget his poor record in health care and the pitiable state of roads in some of the less celebrated areas in Lagos

Omexonomy: For saying such inteligent things on nairaland, prepare ur self for insult from some stupid smelling nonentity that call themselves (yaruba) E-urchin

BayoAA:

Well, personally in terms of road network, Fashola has a very low score. Even in some highbrow areas, the roads are just bad. Some roads are do not have potholes but the roughness of these road is crazy....You wonder maybe they were contructed by Barbers ( With all due respect to barbers). Look at Ojodu Berger - Omole-Ogba, Or the road in from of Fela's Shrine. A lot of the roads inside Alausa are not good. It is only executives with solid shock absobers enjoys these roads.
Lastly, Ikorodu people need road, I mean township roads.

The guy is trying though but there are still a lot to be done.......and done rightly.
Eko o ni baje o!!!!!!!

Gbawe:

Look, this is becoming tiring. Would it kill you guys to even do a few seconds of research before you speak ignorantly and sway opinions against others wrongly? It is not Fashola or Lagos sponsoring this.

Do your your research, as an educated person, so you can become part of the solution instead of an encumbrance to the progress of your nation and a needless nuisance to administrators genuinely trying to make a difference. There is already a map I presented earlier showing the route of the cable line (see it again below) yet you prefer to embrace ignorance and stoke disaffection against Fashola with the usual "am very sure that the project would be on the island" accusation. Na wa for you guys sha.


http://www.trico-capital.com/projects/view/1/Lagos-Cable-Car-Transport-Project i have always been part of the solution and i will not allow my self to be intimidated by a million people...what am saying is that if he is actually getting loans to finance the project,what stops him from doing the same to the health education and infrastructure?? was surprised at the speed of light he used on the cable bridge construction while there are many roads that are begging for attention....and mind u,i don't have beef with any body....if you do what you are supposed to do,then i will praise you....... no matter who the person is,if he derails,i wont hesitate to speak my mind....all these projects are just to impress the world or Nigerians to show that he is working...what has this got to do with the common man.......

Gbawe:

Dude, stop this embarrassing display. You have just been showed how the private sector partner running the cable line will raise finance yet you are still saying "he is actually getting loans to finance the project" Can you point to anything here that informs you Fashola is getting loans to finance the project" ? Is there no stage at which some Nigerians can admit "my bad. I got it wrong"? Do you know how PPP arrangements work?

I see you also failed to acknowledge how you wrongly and ignorantly claimed that this would probably be a project limited to the Island alone when you had not even seen a route map. You were not fair to Fashola and made your utterances with some ignorant and erroneous preconceived notion/bias. Admit is graciously and move on.

rozayx5:

Fashola and Tinubu will never complete a Project unless they have a share in it, am happy after his 8 years in office, and all the hype about him the "Messiah" of the SW and yoruba went abroad for a common Knee treatment,leaving the common Lagosian to LASU teaching hospital --- what makes him different from PDP, and they call themselves the hope of Nigeria
Rubbbisshhh[/b]

anonimi:

And his propaganda team is doing an OK job as well hence MOST people forget that he has little or no record on the BASIC issues that matter to the vast populace of Lagos STATE such as:

* free & COMPULSORY education for ALL children in GOVERNMENT schools.
* pipe borne water

in addition to the two sectors you already listed.

Make dem dey paparazii us dey go but eyes go dey open small, small!!!

houstonia: Make the cable car no fall one day o, Due to Nigeria's lack of maintenance system. We go hear say after 50years dem no change the Cable. Then dey would now blame the commissioner of cable Cars, lol.. (whom of course would just apologise and tell us it is an act of God.

Weselion: Hope say dey no go carry all those ketu and mile 12 market women... If not....

teskyg: White Elephant Project.BRT is a disaster.the same Fashola who could not manage the BRT transport scheme is dreaming of Cable transport,this must be a joke.

mojeer678:

@Gbawe, If this isn't a shallow argument, then I don't know what is. The PPP that allowed LCC to make a killing on the toll gates?

You really believed everyone is an ignoramus? As a mouthpiece and defender of the mortgaging of the future unborn lives, whose tomorrow you're all chopping today. Ride on in the defence of the indefensible. I wonder whether you actually sleep at night without your conscience pricking you for spewing all these garbage and feeling righteous in so doing.

solapex: I don't knw if you stay in lagos and U̶̲̥̅̊ knw what U̶̲̥̅̊ are saying. I want to tell you categorically that all goverment schools in lagos state are free. Maybe U̶̲̥̅̊ shld do Ūя̲̅ research.

teskyg: Its Unnecessary to hurled insult @ others who expressed their Opinion.I just rode through Keffi and peep into the BRT park.Please ride around Ikoyi and VI anytime it rains.We are not blinded by propaganda. I still repeat that Cable transport is another White Elephant project.We lack so many basic Amenities in Lagos.Until some of this issues are adressed,they will soon be proposing Helicopter and Yatch transport service. We stay in Lagos and for the Governor to reeled out those statistics on Water transport is disturbing.
