lexy2014:


pls how will the coastal road project linking Calabar to Lagos "unlock the much needed economic revolution which would further enrich other regions of Nigeria"?

is it because of the absence of this road that the economic revolution that would further enrich other regions of Nigeria has not been unlocked?

tamdun:

Some southerners are already condemning Lagos to Calabar (10 Lane with rail in the middle ) but I trust Tinubu,he no send anybody papa ,a lot of infrastructure spring up under him

tctrills:

No region of the country was more negatively impacted by the Buhari rule than the north.
Hunger increased, poverty increased, violence increased and backwardness was accelerated.

donleo92:


it's a fat lie. the northerners control the economy during buhari tenure. who were In charge of the military, the head of government parastatals?

they owned everything

tctrills:

Oga the last I checked, poverty in the north was over 70%. Please know your facts before arguing with me.

donleo92:


top 5 of the wealthiest people in Nigeria is occupied by the northerners.

brother don't be deceived that the north doesn't have money, those stuffs are mere propaganda

Opebiman:

Northern Nigeria, a prominent area in the country, encompasses three geopolitical zones and is home to the capital city, Abuja, as well as the bustling economic hubs of Kaduna and Kano. Despite being the largest landmass in Nigeria, it typically lags behind other regions in terms of development. However, several ambitious projects are underway in northern Nigeria that are expected to catalyze significant transformation in the region.

Number 6, Abuja - kaduna - Kano highway.
This 375-kilometer highway links the Federal capital territory, Abuja, to the commercial hub, Kano, serving as a vital segment of the A2 road network. Its construction cost, totaling 779 billion naira, makes it the priciest project in Northern Nigeria and the second most expensive road endeavor in Nigeria's history.
Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, a new funding model has been committed to ensuring the timely completion of the final phase by 2026.

Number 5, Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano pipeline.
The Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline, spanning 614km, aims to link gas supplies from the Niger Delta through Ajaokuta, extending to the FCT, Kaduna, and ultimately Kano. This ambitious project carries a price tag of $2.8 billion, with approximately $2.5 billion financed by Chinese banks.
This project will massively boost industrialization in kano, kaduna and Abuja. Bringing them closer to the level of the southern counterparts.

Number 4, Gwagwalada power plant.
Situated in Gwagwalada, in Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory, the Gwagwalada Power Plant stands as a significant energy infrastructure project, showcasing Nigeria's commitment to energy diversification and sustainability. Using primarily natural gas, the plant not only reduces emissions but also ensures consistent power supply.
Spearheaded by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, this project integrates with the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline. With a $2 billion investment, this pipeline seeks to transport gas from southern to northern Nigeria, further strengthening the nation's energy infrastructure.

Number 3, Kaduna - kano rail line.
A new rail line linking Kaduna to Kano is under construction in Northern Nigeria. This segment is part of the larger Lagos-Kano rail project, connecting the Lagos port to Kano. Spanning approximately 203km, the rail is being constructed by China's Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC). It features a double-track system to accommodate higher train traffic and facilitate easier management. The project's estimated cost is $1.2 billion.

Number 2, Kano maradi railine.
This ambitious rail project in Nigeria carries a staggering construction cost of $2 billion, covering 285 kilometers to link Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, and Maradi in Niger Republic.
overseen by Mota Engil, this is the most expensive rail project ever built and set for completion in 2025.
These rail lines are expected to revolutionize travel between major northern Nigerian cities and form a crucial part of the broader Lagos to Kano rail initiative, enhancing connectivity from Lagos port to Kano and extending to Maradi.

Number 1, Abuja metro line rehabilitation.
The Abuja Light Rail is West Africa's first metro line, consisting of two phases. Phase one, launched in 2018, covers 45.24 kilometers, connecting Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport to the city's central business district. Phase two is set to further expand Abuja's coverage.

Despite challenges, including a suspension of passenger services in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The FCT minister is dedicated to rejuvenating the rail system and completing subsequent phases.
The planned network spans 290 kilometers across six phases or lots, with construction completed on Lots 1 and 3.

ThebestPromise:
[With open minded you will agree that there is need for the coastal road the same way the government is putting finishing touches to Lagos Abuja Super Highway

1 Revamping of Ports in other parts of the Country: The ports are presently being advanced for PPP concession arrangement and such the best will be to move to another line of development.

2. Wharf and Tincan : With the connection of Apapa port to the railway line connecting to Ibadan, the dry port in ibadan has been activated and already in use. There cargo coaches moving containers to Ibadan daily and freeing up spaces for more clearance. This is part of the reasons the IGR has increased of geometrically.

Do we need the coastal road? In my opinion, YES because it will create many opportunities in that corridors. The coastal communities have been long abandoned thus starving them of the needed development.

The coastal road will help farmers in Ondo, Ekiti, Edo, Ogun, Osun and part of Oyo States to move their farm produce to Lagos deep sea port in Lagos . Because of lack of storage facilities for aquatic products, the coastal road will avail them nearness to the cities and access to more customers.

Is the cost too much? NO because it will the ND the needed motivation and sense of belonging in the project Nigeria. Dont forgot there is no railway lines linking the ND or SE to other states or regions. The East West road has become a scourge and lost the ephoria that greeted the commencement.

That road when completed will generate more revenue to the FG and state governments in that axis.


quote author=Believeintruth post=129297340]

The project makes no economic sense. I feel it is covert way to let FG to the coastal road instead of Lagos State government. In hindsight you want to do a road to link Lagos to Calabar and put trains to move goods to calabar, when there are ports in Calabar, PH and Warri in need of revamping and expansion to be like Apapa Ports. That trillions can be put to use expanding those ports and turning Nigeria to a huge maritime hub servicing Niger,Chad and Central African Republic. Right now the maritime hubs of West Africa are Ghana and Cote D'ivoire and these guys have already gone automated with their ports. Right now it is 5 times expensive to move your products from the wharf that shopping it in to the country. That alone is not good for business. Why can't they open and expa d other ports this is question that people have been asking. The road economically is not the best it is a waste, the ROI will not be good for the country.

You really think that matters? Having the 5 wealthiest people and being the world's capital of poverty is no achievement oga

tunjijones:
Everything is btw Abuja and northwest.

pretydiva:
This is beautiful and highly commendable. But these type of projects should also be replicated in southern Nigeria and other parts of the country

Oga I run businesses in more than one northern state. I have visited most of the north. All I see is poverty.
For every Dangote, there a a hundred thousand beggars.
