My View on the Coastal Highway

It's all about selfishness. Every politicians seeks to develop their state by all means due to the fact they are in power.

I recently travelled through the Lagos - Benin Express Way and I can tell you for sure, the road just need little or no repairs, though a layer of asphalt would do so much good to the road. But coming to think about having another one, when a better one is still standing is some form of wickedness I do not understand. The coastal highway is nothing but a barricade. Like an horizontal fence to prevent the development of ports in future date. It is a blow to destroy the ports the more. Lagos as we all know is where the president identify with and two things Lagos and Nigeria are known for are, the port as for Lagos and the crude oil as for Nigeria. The highway is aimed at solidifying and cementing both into Lagos. As the coastal highway is developed. There are enough landspace to run miles and kilometers of crude oil tunnels into Lagos and at the same time, prevent the development of other seaports in other state. For instance, Port Harcourt, Calabar and other states believes the development of their states port would provide more direct and indirect business in the state. It would lead to more influx of investors, but some people don't want refineries working in some states and they don't want the seaports coming to those States and guess what, with the coastal highway, you kill two birds with one stone and by the grace of God, this stone shall die

If you have devoted your time in productive ventures just like this your long epistle ,you might have become a millionaire by now .

MIKOLOWISKA:

Dottore:
Is he not assembling them in Nigeria anymore. It's interesting how China Trucks have dethroned big names like Mack, Benz Actross, MAN, DAF, Scania et al.

china is taking over everything, but u see DAF is hard for it to be relegated.

A fresh batch of compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks owned by Dangote is being offloaded in Lagos as part of the company’s ongoing efforts to adopt cleaner and more efficient transportation.

Dangote should relocate the manufacturing of these trucks to Nigeria to generate huge employments for the yiuth of these country pls. Good move from Dangote anyway.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Another round of importation to further weaken the local currency

not true , you know he makes forex exporting fuel and other products

Dangote has taken larger market share in petroleum ecosystem.

Hope the future auto crash wouldn't be explosion 💥 that we cant control.

On Private Businessmen will build Nigeria, they will use their expertise to reverse Nigeria's downward growth

Impressive... Next is to get CNG truck to move his cement bags and manufactured food products such as rice, pasta, etc, in order to lower their wholesale and retail prices for the end users.

BigDickProblems:
Ok. Has the fuel sector favored the Bus drivers, local shop owners, the common man ever since the inception of the refinery? Or simply put, has it made it easier for the ordinary man to be able to afford fuel?

Yes it has, before dangote started producing petrol, you all were buying it at 1250 per liter, with experts saying it may get up to 1500

Is like you guys have short term memory

Agbegbaorogboye:
You APC folks always appear confused
What happened to the plan to distribute fuel products using rail by the APC?
Today you are celebrating more trucks on our already bad roads
What about pipelines?
What benefits does using CNG trucks to transport fuel products bring other than driving IPMAN and DAPMANN out of business?
