Lagos Light Rail Line is too costly compare to a similar project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia .

Please see below :


Addis Ababa Light Rail Project,Span : 34Km. Cost : $475m
number of Stations : 39
Project Tenure : 2011 - 2015

Status : The project is already completed and running effectively .

Lagos Light Rail project

Span : 27km
Cost : $1.2Bn
number of Stations : 13
project Tenure : 2010 till date
Status : not completed

Is the new 4th mainland bridge worth the cost?

He said the decision to support Nigerian security forces in their counter-insurgency operations was the German government’s response to a request made by President Muhammadu Buhari at the last G-7 summit hosted by the European nation

Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has commenced the construction of concrete roads in Lagos, Bauchi, Kogi and Kaduna States, beginning with the Itori-Ibese concrete road in Ogun State.

The 24 kilometre Itori-Ibese concrete road, which construction was flagged off at the weekend, in Ogun, would be constructed by AG-Dangote Construction Limited, its joint venture company, with Andrade Gutierrez (AG), the leading construction company in Brazil, and would be the longest stretch of concrete road when completed.

Speaking at the event, the president/chief executive of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, said the decision to introduce cement concrete roads in Nigeria, was in line with what obtains in other parts of the world.

He noted that concrete had always made the most sense in the long run as no other paving material approaches concrete's strength and durability in standing up to heavy usage and truck traffic, saying that one of the major infrastructural challenges is the lack of good quality roads.

"Obviously, this calls for a review of our existing method of building roads in Nigeria. Roads play an important role in the social and economic development of any nation," he said.

According to Dangote, some state governments were already beginning to take more interest in concrete roads, announcing, "In another CSR initiative, we are reconstructing the Ijora-Apapa Wharf Road in Lagos State, using cement concrete and within the next 18 months, we expect to complete the project and bring succor to Lagosians.

"We have also recently been finally awarded the contract to reconstruct the 42 km Obajana-Kabba Road in Kogi State, in concrete. The estimated cost of the project is N11.5 billion but the federal government has granted us a tax waiver to enable us to recoup part of the estimated cost at N5.6 billion in tax credits and the balance will be our donation as part of our CSR," he added

JUst wondering why the president cannot rest in his country. I hope the British PM will consider coming to Nigeria to rest.

Be quiet mr. closet muslim , does it matter that her head was cut off or not, the mere fact that a 74 year old women was brutally beaten to death depicts the savage mindset by which those illiterate, impoverished, good for nothing barbarians operate. To hell with them and their useless ideology of darkness and death.

Mind you' the north still has the highest number of Almajaris in the World..... and the have ruled for decades.

Except when it comes to matters of Tithe.............. then you quote Old testament like it's biblical truth

Oh, an irony from a lunatic. Knock your ignorant self out.

Dollyak:
What is this turd doing in politics section? It appears you are the one with little or no comprehension skills.
In the context of having a reasonable discussion, your presented narrative is nothing but a sweeping meta-generalisation which is self defeating.

Stick to Lagos propaganda matters.

Look in the mirror

Gogetta:
This is in Obalende Lagos and was constructed by Fashola!

Una just dey call ipob like say them bad like bokoharam.

[b]omonnakoda:
There is no hypocrisy there.It is a political problem. Has BMB come out to tell you he does not support the agitation of his people?
If the Nigerian wished to call him out on that point he should have done so politely and directly. Trying to project disapproval or censorship of a lifestyle he disagrees with onto another political matter is offensive to me.We do not subscribe to Sharia ideas of public conduct.

Even if there's peace in ND the refinery will never be sited there.

forget the talk

No one is excusing away distortions, what one is emphasising on is the ploy to turn this from an unfortunate tragedy perpetuated by a bunch of irredeemable fellows to an attack against those who are canvassing for justice ,irrespective of the manner in which she died...

Where do you stand , Bigotry or Justice ??

ruggedchap:
Actually it does not matter, what matters is that the pattern of intolerance shown by the bigoted r.etards , continues unabated , and people are getting killed based on hearsay rumours, with no proof or justice. Obviously it is done in the name of religion by deluded fellows who think they can appease God by shedding the blood of innocents.

In fact it is easier and almost painless to die by beheading than by being clubbed to death by a gang of raving lunatics.

ruggedchap:
It does not matter if she was beheaded or not, she was brutally murdered in cold blood by retarded crazies who think they are operating in the name of God.

SWG26:
Lol. Yorubas and abokees be feeling fly and funky because Nigeria is a useless country ridiculed with injustice and inequity. What a shame. . .

greatgod2012:
I'm a Yoruba o, but for the sake of peace and Nigeria, it's not patriotic to talk/type like this.

Where is the love

@ Dangote, ride on and thank you for being visionary.

Another yorubaa...this people eh. They claim to have oil in Lagos and Ondo, yet still stick their long throat on ND oil.
