FG will just be opening and closing the bridge without any major noticeable repair done.

Ajibel:
Na wa oo. Promises upon promises to build over the years. I think it's Sanwo that has made a major move to fulfil the promise by demolishing the shanties. Contractors should now move on site before the end of the year to prevent another set of squatters from settling in.

FarahAideed:
I have long preached for the building of a this coastal road to ease of traffic from Lekki epe but I can see the Lagos govt is taking the wrong direction ...this coastal road should have started from The Abraham Adesanya Ogombo end of Lagos and hug the Atlantic coast to burst out at the water corporation end of Lagos instead of this approach that starts at VGC to burst out on tiny Freedom way inside Lekki Phase 1 ..this will put to much pressure on the limited trunk C roads inside the residential estate and cause mad traffic withing that estate

naptu2:
The Coastal Road is not a new development. It has been on the masterplan since at least the Jakande era. Jakande was removed from office before he could build it. Governor Rasaki said that he was surprised to see it on the masterplan and that it's not just a Lagos Coastal Road, but that there's actually a plan to build a coastal road all the way to Calabar

Stop saying what you don't know because of tribal biass.
I have houses in both Lagos and Enugu. Which part is your Problem? Pls don't just name drop a place, be ready to tell what it looks like.

GlorifiedTunde:
Clean up the city if you must, but provide affordable and suitable alternatives for people!

It's easier to sit in a glass house and look down on people.

What kind of useless infrastructure magic is that, one bridge for 8 years.

The same bridge was used to canvass for votes under your party PDP for 17yrs ... Monies collected and looted

I don't know who's more useless between U and your darling PDP

It's not by meeting people up and down. If you're truly sick then rest. You deserve it given your age and all you've accomplished. To be a president is not by force na

Twitter really feel the heat, they're now more humble towards our dear Government.
It's not easy to lose over 30m users.

How and when did Twitter lose 30m users?

Racoon:
The government brain have been resetted by the severe financial crunch ravaging it @ present.Twitter has nothing to loose.


Dont defend blindly.Twitter rakes in billions of dollars from many country let alone Nigeria being ruled by a tyrannt. Many Nigerians have been using VPN to access twitter so the lost of revenue accruing from tax, and sundry goes to the FG government.

Imagine that the govt have lost over "$243million in the first 51 days of the ban on Twitter in the country..."
Meanwhile the FG can't ban FB, and other social media networks.So the foolishness is on the government.

Fahdiga:
Twitter has really shown this Junta that they are inconsequential in the scheme of things by ignoring them for long. Buhari is a misfit of a president

Tribalism? I don't do such

After initial delays and fristration by the present government, the popular Oshodi terminal has started operation with coaches to the east.

Smh.. truth hurts, stop protecting these guys u are mortgaging ur future for the truth cz of cheap monthly stipend.I weep for people in Ogun everyday I go there.

That's your problem I go to Ogun state virtually everyday cz of my work and the roads are hell,try going to akute,lambe,matogun,ogabayor,ijoko etc

Dumbo!

Project scope and scale are not the same. How many bridges were built on Kaduna -Abuja rail? How many houses were pulled down, what compensations were paid? You also forgot to add that Abuja- Kaduna rail PDP could not complete in 6+ years till APC came to complete it, while Lagos-Ibadan was completed in 3

Lagos to Ibadan is even double track. It is X2 of Kaduna to Abuja and even has more structures built to support it
That IPOB guy can be very mischievous.

nathyx:
You need to come down here and see the hundreds of loaded trucks exiting the state on a daily trust me those trains would do a lot good here

bunto:
Myopic thinking.
Infrastructure is what attracts foreign investors and make life easier for the citizenry.
Nigeria cannot continue to use road transportation only. It is not cost effective. It is also ineffective most times.

mrvitalis: :
I wonder how this government thinks really ...a poor nation like Nigeria spending 12 billion dollars on a phantom project that won't break even for 100 years ....there are far more important was that would use that money that would have far more impact on the economy

$1billion $300 million each can reactivate warri ,port Harcourt and Calabar ports ...$100 to by boats to secure the sea routes

$4 billion invested in our transmission line would increase transmission capability from 5000mw to over 12000mw ... electricity supply would double ...I mean double because we have installed capacity of about 15,000mw

$5 billion grants to 10 top importers of goods we can easily produce here to start producing them in Nigeria ...or if we have struggling producers top 10 ...pick like 10 to 20 products

Like ceramics , glass , cloths , chocolates ,drugs and the likes ...this would create over 300,000 jobs directly and provide revenue of over 300 billion a year in taxes


This project would have far more reaching impact on our GDP than this phantom rail system that's nothing but a feel good project

Abuja kaduna rail would break even at the current profit rate in over 101 years

I'm waiting to see the figures for Lagos ibadan rail but my estimate suggest 160 years to break even that's if repairs are not made even

obailala:

ebuk4real: :
sad

And that's the exact amount to be pocketed by these crooks. I can stake my left hand that nothing of these will see the light of the day.

Like the op before me said, use this money rather for the viable, tangible & immediate impactful projects like the sea ports & we will know how serious these politicians are.

Bunch of idiots

The rate at which everyone just becomes overnight experts in developmental economics is baffling. The coastal railway will connect all seaports in Nigeria but according to guys, seaports are important but railways to ferry bulk goods to the seaport is an IDIOTIC idea? Wow!

mrvitalis:
So expenditure can be higher than budget ? Who taught u economics ?

jahsharon:
It took six years to complete the ones you mentioned. This useless administration has less that two miserable years to leave.

Beside that, the Ajaokuta-Itakpe-Warri railway was constructed to bring more and more Almajaris and evil Fulani herdsmen from the North to the South to kill, to steal and to destroy. That is why herdsmen are now asking Delta government to give them 50,000 acres abi hectares of land.

The Lagos-Ibadan railway too was constructed to bring more Almajaris and evil Fulani herdsmen to the South that is why construction has started to extend the Ibadan end to Kano to facilitate the movement of evil Fulani herdsmen and bandits and Boko Haram to the South in order to kill, to steal and to destroy.

But, the good new is that we are ready for them. We will teach them a lesson their generations yet unborn will never forget

jahsharon:
To be completed when? Year 5050? Nonsensical nonsense. After 6 wasted years in power, you now remember that there are Coastal States, Coastal States ko, Coaster Biscuits ni. These Vagabonds in Power think that Southerners are dummies like the Almajaris. Thunder Fire all of your families

mrvitalis:
u have to be not too smart to believe obj Budgeted 16 billion dollars into power lmao ...the whole power budget for 8 years was not more than $3 billion including salaries

nathyx:
The major problem with Nigeria is political sentiment and this has become the order of progress How can after all the above mentioned proposed rail routes I can't find anyone allocated to Benue state the food basket of the nation This is so because our leaders have neglected necessary functionalities and focused on their individual places of abode for centered development nonsense!

mrvitalis:
Corrupt PDP did 190km Abuja kaduna rail with $850 million

Saints APC did 160km Lagos to Ibadan rail for $1.5 billion dollars


The annoying thing is all this projects are feel good project that can't grow the economy or even break even for the next 80 years


APC and fulanis are core socialist reason why capitalist igbos have to leave this country

mrvitalis:

TheRareGem1: :


Just like Lagos-Ibadan- Abeokuta rail project right?

How many years. Did that take ? For a Project that was ground-broken in 2017 and by 2020 it was already in use, what were you expecting?

And that's just about 10% of this one ooh Were you told the project will be done in one-fell-swoop? Did you provide money to achieve that?

Fahdiga:
Incoherent gibberish

mrvitalis:

$1billion $300 million each can reactivate warri ,port Harcourt and Calabar ports ...$100 to by boats to secure the sea routes - Currently all port you have received resurgence in the current administration. Secondly how do you have ports that is not accessible by train, does that make sense to you? How do you hope to attract investment in ports where there are no integrated access roads and rail?

$4 billion invested in our transmission line would increase transmission capability from 5000mw to over 12000mw... electricity supply would double ...I mean double because we have installed capacity of about 15,000mw Boom, all this will happen overnight, shey? OBJ govt spent $16 on power...and till today we're still asking "Where is the power?". What about the myriad of Legal and Commercial log-jam that was not addressed over the years, thus killing power projects... Meanwhile, there's already a Siemen's project to upgrade Power Gen/Transmission infrastructure and generate ~25GW.

$5 billion grants to 10 top importers of goods we can easily produce here to start producing them in Nigeria ...or if we have struggling producers top 10 ...pick like 10 to 20 products

Like ceramics , glass , cloths , chocolates ,drugs and the likes ...this would create over 300,000 jobs directly and provide revenue of over 300 billion a year in taxes Grants to importers? How will that work? You just give money to people who have no record of manufacturing experience nor achievements...and Boom! Factury appears?

Trains are platforms that integrate and stimulate multi-sector logistics...for example additional impact of movement of people and goods, upsurge of manufacturing facilities and Real Estate Development in virgin areas due to proximate rail facility etc[/color]

Fahdiga:
Approver that will only end on paper

Ogun state has no governor,no project,no development!

Why do you people like lying like this? No project?

The water scheme neglected by previous government, who is fixing it?

The Agro - Cargo airport is what?

There are numerous road projects that cross across the state is currently ongoing while some has been concluded.
