Does anyone recall what Babatunde Fashola gave as the excuse why this road was in a decrepit state?

Does anyone recall what Akinwunmi Ambode gave as the way to definitive way to resolve this debacle in his debate with Jimi?

Why dont they close Apapa port for a little while and move all the traffic to Warri, PH and Calabar ports? The roads are so bad because all cargo traffic is being forced to Lagos port.

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has lauded the decision of the Federal Government to reconstruct the failed Apapa-Wharf road.

With its grim state serving as an embarrassment to the country, there is also a huge loss of about N140 billion to the government on a weekly basis.

Dangote who spoke to select media men yesterday, said: “The economy loses more than N20 billion daily. It affects businesses across the country. All our operations in the hinterland in Ilorin, in Kano are operating at 40 per cent maximum capacity.”

Lamenting the state of roads in the country, Dangote said: “Today, there is no linkage road going from South West to the North. You have to go all the way through Ajaokuta, Obajana, Lokoja and you have to go by that uncompleted road Obasanjo started 13 years ago.‘’
Commenting on his resolve to be personally involved in the Apapa- Wharf road reconstruction, he said: “More than 60 per cent of our country’s import and exports come through the port and we leave it unattended. That is why we started on our own. Flour Mills said they will join us, but now government changed the design because they want all the cables and pipes underground and to have a more robust solution.”
To help in bringing the cost down, he explained that he forced his company to do it at a zero profit. According to him, “Both Dangote and Flour Mills are pumping in over N2.5 billion for the 2 kilometres double lane on each side making a total of 4 kilometres.”
He explained that the biggest job “is drainage because that is what is destroying the road. We will make sure this problem is sorted out once and for all. This thing should not be allowed to happen. We started discussion with the government over a year ago and we are happy that we have been given the opportunity to finally fix it.”
The Federal Government last weekend handed over the troubled road to Dangote Industries Limited and Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc. (FMN) for immediate reconstruction with concrete overlay.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the FG, DIL, NPA and the FMN.
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, signed the agreement for the handover of the road, on behalf of the Federal Government, while the Managing Director, NPA, Hadiza Usman, and Joseph Makoju, honorary advisor to Aliko Dangote, president, Dangote Group, and Gbedebo, signed for their respective organisations.
The three organisations are embarking on the project as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) to Apapa, where they all do business.
The construction work to be handled by AG Dangote, a civil construction company, and joint venture between Dangote Group and AG of Brazil, would utilise concrete slabs as against asphalt, common with road construction in this part of the world.

What about the billions lost in monthly environmental sanitation by Government's mandate to stall businesses for 5 hours every last Saturday of the month?

What about billions lost to corrupt police checkpoints on our highways costing motorists extra long hours, fuel and other miscellaneous expenses?

Wnat about our dumb Nigerian police who do stop and search on rush hours 8am everyday when everyone else in other sane countries are rushing to meet office and business appointments?

We lose billions to the gridlock caused by Government's agents and outdated authoritarian laws.

Nigeria has always been a sick country.

What about the ports in other states? E.g Warri. Why is NPA not working in Delta state? Lagos is tight yet the Yorubas won't let other states to enjoy their infrastructures. They killed Delta steel company but Ajaokuta steel is still working. Let Warri port start working and the gridlock in Lagos will be reduced drastically.

Bobby4090:
The useless Fashola has stayed almost 2 years as minister of works and yet these roads remained an eyesore. He has refused or is incapable of working any of the strategic roads in Lagos. So after FG refused to do Int Airport road, Ambode took it over to do. Now after refusing to do the Apapa Wharf road, Dangote and Flour Mills are now doing it themselves. Tell me, what single kobo is the FG spending on its own in Lagos and in all those strategic roads. They fustrate people to the extent that the state government and companies now take over the roads inspite of the N500 billion budget of the Fed works ministry. Shame on FG and shame on Fashola especially because after being a Lagos Governor he has made no single kobo investment in any road in Lagos.


I understand tie argument but things are different now. Fash serves Nigeria not Lagos alone. So he can't just give Lagos top priority cos it's his home.
