Buhari’s quietness has emboldened the enemies of this country who ruled for 16 years with little to show for it. In-spite of global recessions, COVID 19 Pandemic, Global energy crisis due to Russia-Ukraine war, Buhari has delivered lifetime critical infrastructures and history will be kind to him. Whenever I see Buhari’s achievements in rail infrastructure, airports infrastructure, the Ports, second Niger bridge, huge investments in military equipments, power generation and agriculture I know he has worked in silence. May the enemies of this great nation never prosper.
adioolayi:
I think this Nation is about to witness greatness...irrespective of whoever wins 2023 elections..

Some very strong foundations of prosperity is being layed by this Buhari's administration in infrastructure.

The next government will need to focus good economic policies and less of infrastructure and also Security.


God bless Nigeria

Stop misleading the public. FG has a statutory obligation by the constitution to own shares in this nature of investments just like refineries which is less than 15%. Tell your SS and SE governors to do the right thing and stop masturbating over Lagos state’s achievements. Shameless people.

Let FG give Onitsha and akwaibom the license and see for yourself. It's not a news that FG gives advantage to some region and withdrew other region that has same resources the license to carry on. Port Harcourt was an international airport, Enugu was also international, Sam mbakwe international cargo airport, but the FG withdrew their license to operate international while we are only having three international airport in Lagos, Abuja and Kano.
Portharcourt has three seaport, onne seaport and eleme seaport are supposed to be the hub for shipping down for those at the east. But they only channel everything to Lagos and it then makes cost of imported goods expensive, after getting a truck to transport the goods again from Lagos down to Onitsha and to Aba coupled with all the settlement you have to do on the way. so how is this helping the people? Let every region control their resources. Mind you state governors can't do this without go ahead confirmation from the federal government.

Stop spreading lies. When did any governor from the South South and South East ever come out to say they were not given license to build a sea port ? Akwa Ibom is building Ibom deep sea port already. Please show us one instance of where under Buhari airport license was seized. The airlines must have stopped flying from there due to low patronage. Stop spreading falsehoods Obidient people.

Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.

Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough?
AUGUST 10, 2011

The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.

"More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system."

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
January 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

I voted him in 2015. His problem is that the easiest achievements he should have scored are totally forgotten by him. For instance do you know how very very stupidd our Nigeria custom officers still are till today? Are you aware a major part of the inflation you experience is caused by the unimaginable fees and sheeer stupiddity of custom officers? Do you know how many exports which we are begging for have been messed up by customs? Ask exporters. Or do you know how many people can't transport foodstuff because of police?

The Southwest will use this and taunt other regions forgetting it wasn't built with Yoruba only money but federal money with resources from other regions even IGR is base don all tax and payments made not just by Yoruba but 80% foreigners in Lagos.
