1. The idea for a 4th Mainland Bridge was first mooted in 2003 during the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Next level will make nigeria work again. the incoming lagos governor need to redouble the lagos development momentum.

Ok

Lagos can do it, money dey for lag..

Why did Sanwo Olu says the bridge construction will not be his priority?

ok

Ok

Does this mean no toll fee will be paid?

Because I can see the bridge will link the Island.

I am Lagosian, and an unrepentant APC member, but Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode have collectively scammed us with the promise of this bridge. It is really heartbreaking that Lagos, with all the huge IGR, cannot complete a Metrorail for 20 years or even lay a block for the 4th Mainland Bridge.

Easy said and done

It's well.

The bridge thats so important yet it will never be built. All we have is talk and promises.

I don tire for this bridge matter self. Meanwhile, can't we regard the rail bridge under construction as the 4th mainland bridge? Afterall, the bridge is meant to serve commuters from the Island to Okokomaiko.

Yea..It's our money..U don't deserve any praise...It's a must do
