They really cursed Nigeria

dominique:
How is this even possible? 3 solid countries stand between Lagos and Cote D'Ivoire. Can't they find other infrastructure to build?

It's actually possible... Not as if new roads will be constructed, it's just using the existing ones and upgrading where necessary

A country like Benin Republic already have standard well constructed highway leading all the way to Togo, so they don't need to construct again... Na we wey no get good roads gat begin construct

If the road passes through Badagry/Seme, then Nigeria has a lot of works to do...

E be like say na concrete kill this guy for him former life.

They say your concrete roads in ebonyi are already cracking

SoNature:
I like the way Dave Umahi is promoting concrete technology in road construction. We cannot continue to fix roads every four years. Every Truck A road is being fixed by every administration; it makes no sense. Our roads should have 10 - 20 years warranty.

concrete dey chop tyre

abdeefggh:
Funny people, una never do one road for Naija, na abidjan road una wan go do

I swear to Christ almighty I thought they made a typo...maybe they wanted to type Abuja... entered the thread and saw Cote d'Ivoire.

This is beyond ridiculous.
If no be madness person never clear him backyard finish he dey talk about sweeping main road 😏

Big big talk

The Lagos- Abidjan highway is sponsored and funded by the African Development Bank under Akinwunmi Adesina. Not sure if counterpart funding is obtained from individual countries that the road passes through. Possibly not, but AfDB may have the right to toll or monetize the road assets to recover their investment. In any case, it is a very good idea to promote regional trade.

Pity that we only get 78km of this over 1000km road with Ghana getting over 500km. Lucky them. The Nigerian stretch is likely from Seme border up to Mile2. Will it be upgrading of the existing Lagos- Badagry expressway or the construction of a separate new road?

Useless talk. Build Lagos Ibadan with concrete. Abj-Kad with concrete. Ore-Benin concrete. Enugu -Ph concrete.. make we finish Naija first

What of Benin bypass?

Nigeria needs to invest in Nigeria. Instead of roads and train lines to Ivory Coast and Niger Republic respectively we need to ensure all of Nigeria is thoroughly served by roads and rail first. All of East Africa combined is not as populated as Nigeria so we needn't get angsty over their East Africa Union . Nigeria is viable on her own if we are serious and sincere with ourselves. Why build roads to Ivory Coast and coastal roads to Ghana? Don't we have enough of thire ugly faces ruining our gene pool? What can they do for Nigeria that we can't find in Nigeria if we made concerted effort instead of half-heartedly try then conveniently capitulate?

The interest that Nigeria leaders seem to have in other African nations is yet another reason why Nigeria desperately needs Records and databases for stuff such as births and deaths. We in Nigeria have no idea of the true birthplace or nationality of our leaders. Vote into power someone you believe is from the middle belt of Nigeria, not knowing he is really from Angola, you're going to be baffled why he wants to invest in glittering Train Line to luanda when half of all Nigerians wallow in the bush without light.

Should this be a priority, given our present economic backwardness?

Others are constructing underwater tunnels we're going back to concrete roads

You're not suppose to know that....
Take away your China made phones and western made plane,

Bring money

Which part of the corridor,is it after seme or before seme? I'm asking cos I know what the road is like before and after seme border.

Rubbish

but the ones this man built in his state are already spoiled in just 3 years, how can we be so sure he will deliver a better job and quality nationwide this time around?

..do not mind him...he is just looking for money to waste and loot

Is04970:
What's with Umahi and concrete?
Asphalt is better and easier to maintain than concrete.

I scratch my head on this one. With our poor maintenance culture . Asphalt is better. You just scrap the top off , reheat and reapply every 2/3 years. With concrete , how do you patch ? You have to dig up a whole stretch of road and redo.

I have many times spoken to myself on the fact that it’s a pity our leaders can’t see beyond their nose with one eye closed . Can you imagine how many jobs and people would be employed by constructing our network of roads intercity ? Bricklayers, metal works, wood for scaffolding , diggers, architect etc and then maintaining the infrastructure every year etc. but no they want highways with no traffic lines to timbatu , no parks for kids to play , insecurity, improvised security parastatals .

Is concrete the best technology?

I swear nawa for them. You never build internally na external you wan go start with. Vision less buffoons.

And to link the so called Lagos -Abidjan road, we'll have to construct roads in like three solid countries too. This politicians are Clueless. That's what you get when an old Parkinson man is sitting at the helm of affairs.
