JaffyJoe:
This was a project that was supposed to have been completed since the 80s. Buhari stopped it.

Because at the time Nigeria won't have been able to afford it.

When the project was originally conceived we had cash from the oil boom of 1973 to 1982.

In 1982 oil prices crashed

When Bubu took over he cancelled the project. Money was tight.

Infact money was tight from 1982 to 91 when we had a brief oil boom and again from 1991 to 2003 when oil price remained low till it went up again

The current project started around 2007 when oil prices were on an upward trend.And this time it is being executed by Lagos state , not the federal government

JaffyJoe:


Bros please don't try to spin things unnecessarily.

"The initial Metroline project was scrapped in 1985 by Muhammadu Buhari at a loss of over $78 million to the Lagos tax payers. ... LAMATA initially concentrated on developing a Bus Rapid Transit system, running from Mile 12 to Lagos Island."

Imagine having to pay contractors off more than 30% of estimated project cost just because you said Nigeria was cash strapped. Mind you, the Naira was more valuable than the USD at this time.

Additionally, if you say Nigeria was broke, then how is it sensible now that we are borrowing from left to right to funds projects like Rail line to Niger with no economic benefits? Are we doing wonderfully well now? Has the Naira no been on the downward slope for a couple of years now? So where is that prudence you're trying to make me see?

angelfallz:
hopefully it would help reduce road traffic.
I wonder why they did not consider underground rail?
