Was Buhari constructing new roads and building on an existing road?

We want them to repair our roads. That is what we are calling for not constructing new ones.

TrebleChamp:
So Lagos/Calabar coastal road is more enomomically viable to Attan/Sango Ota road at this time? Or the Sagamu/Benin road? Or any of the existing major Federal Govt road in deplorable condition across the Country? Is borrowing and spending 15 trillion naira on 1 coastal road what Nigeria need at this time? I am sure you were one of those that said Ebonyi State International Airport built by Umahi was a white elephant project, cos it serves no major economic value to the State. Buhari borrowed Nigeria future away, yet Lagos/Calabar rail line was not completed in 8 years, and probably abandoned now for a 15 trillion naira coastal road.

popizaino:


For someone like him that claims to be from Ogbomoso should be the last person supporting the decision of the FG to construct an entire new road when Ogbomoso-Oyo expressway is taking eternity to complete.

popizaino:


Was neither in that terrible condition that vehicle fell into water.

raumdeuter:


We are talking about a road that connects 7 states you are talking about Sango Atan road that connects where to where?

Apples and oranges. How many people use airports in Nigeria vs How many people use roads.

An airport in Ebonyi state serves no use currently now How many airlines are flying from there's that what you want to compare to a road that connect Calabar to AkwaIbom, Rivers Delta Edo Ondo Ogun Lagos?

Ibime:


Coastal road may be cheaper long term and more practical. If you slant the road slightly, it drains into the sea, removing the need for constant maintenance caused by water damage on most of our federal roads.

Coastal road also directly connects most of our economically impactful states that are sea facing. Lagos, Ondo, Edo, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, AkwaIbom, Cross River. These are all states through which goods flow in and out from various ports

liveLongNprospa:


Explain how 15 trillion is cheaper long term when we already have roads that connect all these states and if fixed will make it even faster, while still having a particular road called the East-West road that needs to be fixed.

Benin to warri is a dead road last time I checked, how much and how long will it cost to fix such a road as against how long it will take and cost to construct a coastal road all the way from Lagos to calabar?

If you are talking about quality of road lasting, the road constructed from Ore to Benin has lasted since God knows how long and only now needs maintenance again.. Abi how much e go cost inside that 15 trillion to take maintain am?

Ibime:


I don't know the cost TBH, I've been too busy

I thought they said it's N1 trln and would be a toll road

swiz123:


This coastal highway could be the most reckless project embarked by a broke country. A broke man maintains what he has instead of abandoning them for a new one.

Imagine what that money could do to the existing federal roads in Nigeria and that comes with the advantage of cost spread over a good number of years.

Don't mind Ibime; he is a fake accountant with little knowledge of cost management.

liveLongNprospa:


If this country throws just 1 trillion into the existing roads in the southern part that need fixing, do you know how much repairs will be done.
Let us even add usual kickbacks.
The roads from Edo to kogi alone will solve alot of issues if fully fixed.
I don't even know if they have fixed the roads from rivers to cross rivers because I remember there used to be issues as at 2021. Do you know how many trucks ply those roads to deliver cement?

Please i want to ask an honest question. Forgive its foolishness.

What exactly with the rising number of seaports have in this country?

Lagos get three
Ondo wan get
Delta wan get
Rivers get
Akwa-Ibom, Cross river , blah blah blah

And Nigeria virtually exports next to nothing. I read sometime ago that vessels leave Nigeria almost empty. Just thousands of empty containers.

So what exactly will happen when everyone has seaport? Na to hustle importation numbers abi na another thing?

swiz123:


I am especially ashamed of Dave Umahi; how can he look at all the death traps we have as roads and conclude a stupid coastal highway will be the solution.

liveLongNprospa:


You know this talk about redirecting business from Lagos because the apapa port is what brings alot of business dealings.

Exactly that's why.
Which I can understand but what I don't fully get is why shipping companies prefer apapa.
Even the newly constructed lekki port is still not as active as expected from industry gist.

So yes to mainly take business away from Lagos.

raumdeuter:


See thinking

Because Ogbomoso road is not completed, then other project in the entire country should stop?

Probably govt should stop paying salary to workers across the country until Ogbomoso people are paid.

What is the economic value of a road connecting Oyo to Ogbomoso within 1 state vs a road connecting 7 states and major ports?

popizaino:


Since you don't know,i will be patient to enlighten you.


The Oyo to Ogbomoso road is very critical to the economic of Nigeria. That you even asked shows how far you are from the reality of everyday nigerian. It is the road that connect the entire food producing North East like Kebbi,sokoto, and North central to the southwest all the way to lagos port. If groundnut pyramid still exit in Kano,be rest assured that it will pass through this route before landing in lagos for export.


The oyo - Ogbomoso axis is were trailers,tankers,containers get stucked for days because it is bad and a single lane.. They are yet to connect both towns together to the express. It has been this way since the days of OBJ. A reasonable person will ask when they are finishing this road before championing an entire new road especially someone from there.

Apart from being bad, it is very narrow.

If you cannot calculate well, when trying to overtake, na hell fire or heaven you go end up.

So many roads are like that.

In most of the numerous Akoko in Ondo, you'll see federal roads looking like streets.
