Dangote contractor, continue Africa richest man that can't do without government funds

Desperate times need desperate measures.

Has the world ended?

Some of them don't deserve respond.
kindly ignore him.

Jesusgirl92:
Election is around the corner, that is the point

bigsmoke2:
People are filled with so much hate for the current administration particularly buhari himself they don't even want him to get it right because he's a northerner he can never do right in their jaundiced eyes. Every attempt to fulfill his promises is met with negativity and sabotage. This guy walked in a mess no thanks to the simpleton from otuoke and he has managed it fairly well in my opinion. Go to Venezuela a country that was oil dependent like us and see what is happening there.Great men are often remembered after their time I seriously want him voted out its the only way he can be appreciated. Nigerian don't learn easy

rusher14:


And because of elections all projects should be abandoned?

idealogical:



It is desperation. The government should stop working and abstain from anything progress and development because it's almost election time.

seunmsg:


Even though Bini's own Lagos, the state is a melting point for all Nigerians. Every residents of Lagos is a Lagosian irrespective of tribe. Therefore, all Lagosian will use and equally benefit from the road. This should not be tribalized.

seunmsg:



What is desperate about awarding a road rehabilitation contract? Is it not the responsibility of federal government to build new roads and rehabilitate existing ones?

TimeMachine:
N73bn given to Dangote to keep for Buhari after retirement, approved as contract.

Atleast I am sure between 10% to 30% of that money will be kept for Buhari in trust. Dangote has always been a reliable surrogate for all Politicians.

I love the man, he sure knows how to use politicians.

“He named Dangote Group as the constructing firm for the road project, saying that the N72.9 billion for the execution of the project would be recovered through the funding credit tax policy of government.”

Dangote is using his own money to execute the project. He will recover the money by paying less tax to the government.

The same policy is available to Nigerians with capacity to execute similar projects

The Federal Executive Council, FEC, on Wednesday approved N72.9billion for the reconstruction of the road from Apapa to the toll gate on Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Lagos State.

Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, made this known to State house Correspondents in Abuja after the weekly cabinet meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Fashola said the decision was taken to provide a long term solution to the road, which had suffered a lot of gridlock in recent times.

“The Ministry of Power, Works and Housing secured approval for the reconstruction of the Creek Road Tincan Island-Beach Land right through to Oworoshoki to the toll gate end of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway for the full reconstruction of that road which was built around 1975 as part of our first port expansion undertaken then in the 70s.

“That road was intended to evacuate cargo out of Lagos without running through the spine of the city.

“The road is now in some state of disrepair and Council has approved its reconstruction at the cost of N72.9 billion,” he said.

According to the minister, the work will be done using a Public-Private Partnership PPP model.

He named Dangote Group as the constructing firm for the road project, saying that the N72.9 billion for the execution of the project would be recovered through the funding credit tax policy of government.

The minister further said when fully constructed, the road will have 10 lanes, with five on both sides, with a total of 270.8 linear kilometres, including drainage, rehabilitation of some of the bridges and interchanges.

“First, it will be done through PPP model. The constructing company will be the Dangote group. It will be financing that construction to the tune of N72.9 billion as certified by PPP.

“Another instructive thing to note is that this is the first full reconstruction of that road since it was constructed at about 1975.

“All previous efforts had been to repair damaged sections. So, it is going all the way to reconstruct the road.

“The third thing to note is that the entire construction is that it involves procurement of 27.8 kilometres made up of 10 lanes – five lanes on both sides – three on the main carriage way, two on service lanes.

“So, essentially, you are constructing about 79.8 linear kilometres and that also include drainage and use of extensive cement work and rehabilitation of bridges.

“We expect contractors to move to site. This is our own long term solution to the problem contributed by the road congestion there.

“This will provide enduring solution to what is currently being experienced by commuters,” he added.

Speak for yourself Oga, not Nigerians. I can't imagine how gullible y'all can be on nairaland as if this is where the real election takes place. PMB will win the presidential election with landslide and y'all will be so dissapointed. Especially Igbos youth who never gave him benefit of doubt right from the beginning. Hatred kee you all. Wasted generation.
