Great100000: I think this coastal road was supposed to be a railway line based on the master plan. Why just a raod? How does the nation tends to transport heavy load and containers across the country under a tangible network? |

Shantyken:Well, it's taken well over 20 years and the road still isnt 100%... If even simple things are impossible in Nigeria, you cant blame Nigerians for being pessimistic about complex things. |

If concrete is being used then that might just explain the increase in cost of cement. I can't imagine a construction company going for hundreds of cement trucks suddenly and prices remaining stable when supply is inelastic. 1 Like |

DearDealz: Lagos-Ibadan road was handled by FERMA and you know that if Nigeria handle a project, it takes eternity to finish it. Let's hope it's give to a good contractor. Modified! Benin to Ore doesn't require much work likewise Ore to Sagamu except few places. 1 Like |

Why is it called 'Coastal Road' when it is not running near the coast except at Lagos? 1 Like |

This is another conduit pipe they want to use and Syphon more money. Lagos-lbadan express way is yet to be completed despite allocating fund each year. My people are too quick to celebrate phantom project that will not see the light of the day. Who do us this thing? Chaiii, I weep for this Nigerian people. 1 Like 1 Share |

This project is not clear. The east west road during the Jonathan's era is still valid in same corridor, so what will they do? Construct another or what? Iyam not getting it. Why not use this money to rehabilitate critical roads like PH Aba road, instead of a new 700km highway. Smh |

Tellmeastory: The road won't pass through any of the places you list up there. The road is going to be close to the atlantic ocean. It's so funny you mentioned aba. the road won't pass through the south east at all. From lagos to ogun, ogun to ondo, ondo to delta, delta to bayelsa, bayelsa to rivers, rivers to akwa ibom and from akwa ibom to cross river. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Paraman: Makes it even worse. That's a complete waste of resources in a time of scarce resources. There's the Oron to Eket to Eleme to Bayelsa to warri to Benin to ore to Shagamu(with detours to Epe-Lekki) to Lagos road already. Of what significance is it, if it's done close to the ocean? |
Re: FG Begins Construction Of 700 Km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road by obailala(m): 11:56am On Mar 08 |
Paraman:"More than 85% completed," same story since the last 10-15 years no be so? N1 trillion released or N1 trillion approved? You know there's a clear difference right? Let's assume N1trillion was actually even released (though we all know its impossible), given the cost of such projects in Nigeria, that amount would barely scratch the surface; it cant even complete the section from Lagos to Ondo. What about using a portion of that trillion to complete the east-west road?... PH-Aba which shouldn't take more than 20mins literally takes over 2 hours cos of few bad portions which have been under construction by every single admin. A microscopic fraction of that N1 trillion can fix these and lots lots more. But anyway, who doesn't know that the coastal road project is just another white elephant avenue to loot money? 1 Like 1 Share |

obailala:The one trillion is for the first phase, it will start from Lagos and end at the boundary between ogun and ondo state. You can't expect Tinubu to rehabilitate all the bad roads in less than a year. The roads he has started rehabilitating are all under construction. If you know of any that Umahi started but has stop work, list them out here. Even in the FCT, road construction is going on. |

Tealcrestmedia:so all the roads that has been bad for years should all be repaired by Tinubu in less than a year? Abeg make una dey wail with sense. This is a coastal road, no one will be forced to use it when it's completed. It will even be tolled sef. 1 Like |
