1. The Lekki-Epe express road was initially constructed by the Jakande administration and completed by the Mudashiru and Mike Akhigbe military administrations in 1987. The entire Lekki axis was then opened up for rapid development. Between 1985 and now, the corridor has been experiencing rapid and unprecedented urban growth as hundreds of new communities, developments and estates have developed which drew large population of low and middle income Lagosians.

2. The govt realizing the urgent need to address the fast growing problem of road congestion conceived the idea of the expansion of the existing express road into a six-lane roadway, the construction of an alternate coastal road that will run from Ahmadu Bello way in Bar Beach, along the shores of the Atlantic ocean towards Ibeju-Lekki Local Government area. The third leg was the construction of a fourth mainland bridge, from Langbasa area near Ajah across the Lagos Lagoon to Ikorodu town and detouring somewhere to join the existing third mainland bridge thereby forming a circular road around Lagos.

3. A committee was initially set up which recommended the adoption of the PPP concept to handle the project since it was thought then that because of the magnitude of the project, the state government might have to collaborate with the private sector under a Private-Public-Participation (PPP) model to handle the project.

4. Thereafter, Tinubu’s greed took control. He floated a company-Lekki Concession Company (LCC) to handle the project as a consortium and appointed a financial advisory company ARM as the financial adviser.

5. LCC immediately asked for 1,000 hectares of prime land as the contribution of the state government to the project. This was immediately granted by Tinubu and he released the c of o within weeks for 1,000 hectares of prime at Awoyaya, Abijo, Eputu and Sapati all in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area. Part of the land is now being developed as ADIVA housing and golf course project by ARM

6. The project was later jettisoned after obtaining the hectares of land and other payments from the state government and in its place; the rehabilitation of the existing Lekki expressway was adopted by the consortium. There is no basis for a toll road and 30 year concession arrangement for a mere rehabilitation and expansion of an existing road which the government could afford on its own.

7. Indeed, the Federal Government under President Olusegun Obasanjo wrote to Governor Tinubu in 2006, offering to construct the coastal road free of charge to Lagos and its people from the Lekki Free Trade Zone to Ahmadu Bello Way in VI. He also sent a letter of commitment written by a Chinese construction firm to that effect. Governor Tinubu firmly rejected this offer and instead opted to abandon the coastal road project which the concession was initially meant for and instead signed a 30 year concession for a toll road to his company.

8. The rehabilitation work commenced in late 2006 with the expansion and rehabilitation of the Ozumba Mbadiwe end to Mobil building and the 49.4km main Lekki road rehabilitation started in 2007 shortly after Fashola became Governor

9. By this time, Tinubu's crony-Dr Tunji Olowolafe was made chairman of LCC and the entire contract was awarded to HITECH. HITECH is owned by both the Chagouris and former Gov Bola Tinubu who is the Chairman

10. LCC was given a 30 year concession (note that all their concessions are usually 30 years) with no competitive bid, no competing quote and no professional evaluation. The whole thing was packaged by Tinubu and executed by Fashola for their own selfish interest

11. To further confirm this, Tinubu has built a multi-billion naira state of the art hotel-the Oriental Hotel along the express road. Conveniently, the toll gate is located a few meters before the hotel coming from VI so that the hotel clients wouldn’t have to pay toll. Even, special entry and exit points (including a roundabout) have been constructed for the hotel and the multi-level car park beside it (also owned by Tinubu) by the construction company using tax/toll payers’ money. Talk about creating a personal empire. One man owning an express road and a multi-billion naira hotel.

12. The 49.4km two-phased project is to cost an outrageous N50 billion which the innocent citizens and particularly the residents and indigenous communities of Lekki, Ajah, Epe and Ibeju areas will cough out over the next 30 years while Tinubu, Fashola, Olowolafe, the Chagouris and their other collaborators and their unborn generations will be smiling to the banks. A simple arithmetic shows that cost of construction averages N1billion per 1km. This did not include the 1,000 hectares of land and other costs already incurred by the Lagos state government. This must be the most expensive road anywhere in the world! Meanwhile, there will be 3 toll plazas in a 50km stretch!

13. The entire Lekki axis hosts millions of indigenous people who are fishermen and farmers and have occupied their lands for centuries. They are largely poor and agrarian from villages like Ajah, Badore, Elegushi, Ajiran, Sangotedo, Abijo, Ibeju, and all communities in Eti-osa, Epe and Ibeju-Lekki Local Government areas. These indigenous people along with others living in the area are now being forced to pay toll to enter and exit their fatherland.

15. These people who have been subjected to economic misfortune occasioned by seizure of their lands by this government are now been economically drained by the imposition of toll gates within their communities. There has never been any consultations with the people neither was there any environmental impact assessment before the commencement of the project.

15. THE BIG FRAUD

This is the biggest fraud ever conceived!

(a) A road that was initially constructed by two previous administration and that belong to the Lagos State Government is now being jointly owned by Tinubu-the former governor through his crony-Dr Tunji Olowolafe under the consortium LCC

(b) LCC was appointed without conforming to the Public Procurement Act of 2007. There was no public bidding process, no competing bids from other consortium and the fact that the former Governor and the present Governor have personal interest is criminal in nature.

(c) LCC will collect toll from the taxpayers of Lagos over the next 30years. The amount to be collected was not subject to any negotiation or law by any regulatory agency. Which means it is arbitrary and could be changed without notice anytime through the duration of the 30 year lease.

(d) In addition, landowners and prospective builders of homes are being charged heavily as infrastructural charge, land use charge and personal income tax and are now required to pay road tax or toll. This is multiple taxation in its worst form.

(e) The people’s livelihoods have been disrupted for the past 3 years without compensation and there is no alternate road anywhere as it is in practice in other parts of the world where there are toll roads.

(f) A concession that was granted for the building of a coastal road, 4th mainland bridge and expansion of Lekki road has now been turned into mere rehabilitation of an existing road for the same 30-year concession. This is fraud

(g) Fences are being built around the toll areas to box residents within the area. This has security and safety implications. If there is a major emergency like major armed robbery operations, civil crisis, major floods, fire incidents etc and residents need to be evacuated in a hurry; there will be major massive bottleneck at the toll plaza as there is no other escape route except through the lagoon or Atlantic Ocean. Remember the Oke-Afa mass drowning incident of 2002. God forbid!

(h) The owners of LCC have also received cash payments and land grants from Lagos state government in addition to the 30 year toll. These payments and land grants were initially made under the agreement that the 4th mainland bridge-Lekki road-coastal road would be built. It is therefore criminal to obtain compensation for a project only to turn around and reduce the scope.

(i) Several prominent Baales, residents and associations have voiced their objections over the years but were arrogantly ignored by government and LCC. The Eti-Osa Heritage Group, Concerned Residents of Lekki-Ajah (COROLA) and other Indigenous groups have expressed reservations and berated LCC for what they considered inequitable for the residents.

Seconded! Av been dying to interact with flight enthusiasts, such as those into flight sims (fsx) and model collectors

That's the problem we face in Nigeria today, when u av incompetent hands recruiting for organisations, the op confessed of her incompetency lack of confidence in being able to confirm the recruits, thereby making her resort to an irrelevant impromptu test which may av eliminated the best brains and hands d organisation could av gotten.
She certainly used the wrong measuring instrument in assessing them, she could as well av asked them to put down their names on a piece of paper then draw lots to get the winner.
Nigeria! We'll get there someday sha!

Was told by a northerner I once met dat , dis people are forced to blow themselves up on suicide missions. He explained DAT when book haram raids a community they capture families whom they take back to their base and while there they try and brainwash them with quaranic teachings thereafter asking each of d families to volunteer a member for suicide mission which would guarantee other members of his/her family better care and treatment while @ d camp, and if none volunteer they(b/h) chooses themselves and threatens to kill slaughter every member of d family if such a nominee fails to comply. They sometimes tell the attacker how and where to go with someone far behind detonating d explosive when d attacker has reached their intended target.
The story was told of a young girl running away from d crowd shouting DAT she has an explosive and DAT she doesn't want to die before d explosive detonated. And that made me believe dis aboki's story

I've seen this piece before , I thought it was written by okechukwu Nwanguma of NOPRIN (Network On Police Reform In Nigeria) who's Kenneth Ezaga again kwa?!

Your father! Who tells you that Igbo's are against any anti corruption move by Buhari?, most of us av always been in support of probing and jailing anyone guilty of corruption including ex- president Jonathan, Obasanjo and IBB, including , APC bigwigs like Tinubu, get it " WHAT WE ARE AGAINST IS SELECTIVE JUSTICE", anybody involved in corruption whether Jonathan or Obasanjo should be jailed !.

She might be amongst the best they av in the the U.S ,but not amongst the the best in a hugely talented country like Nigeria. Shikena!!

Any of these probes that excludes former thief chief of army staff and presently the minister for interior in Buhari's govt Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazzau is selective and not a honest move by the president. We are currently discussing with some international attorneys and human rights agencies and soon will drag Nigerian army and Dambazzau to international court for his roles in Nigerian army's corruption in UN operation and also human rights abuses against its soldiers

SEE OUR POST ONAPRIL 28th, 2009 ON DAMBAZZAU (when he was COAS)

Corruption:chief Of Army Staff (gen. Dambazzau) Must Go! by okuya: 7:41pm On Apr 28, 2009

The Chief of Army Staff Gen. Dambazzau must be forced out of office for corruption, by every well meaning Nigerian within and outside the military following the part he played in the corrupt saga involving the allowances of the former UN peace keepers in Liberia whom he recently handed LIFE JAIL SENTENCES through the kangaroo court set up to them.
The Chief of Army staff who was not even properly screened by the senate before being appointed and backed by some top politicians such as senator David Mark, was then the General Officer Commanding 2 Div. Ibadan under whose command falls 323 artillery regiment Akure, Played a key role in the embezzlement of allowances belonging to these peacekeepers.
Aside deducting about $600 dollars from every UN peacekeeper from Nigeria for Barracks maintainance, and a set of camouflage, awarding dubious and bloated contract for the feeding of the contigents who at the end of the day are poorly fed, he and his gang of top military officers, which included the former chief of army staff general Luka Yussuf went ahead to deduct over $3,000 dollars from each the 850 soldiers returning from the operation, and when the bubble burst due to the protest by the soldiers he was so angered that he even manhandled one of the female soldiers when he arrived to see the situation of things , he quickly fronted some officers and soldiers who stood in as the culprits after being settled with several millions of Naira to shield Dambazzau and his gang from being exposed, and as a price they have to pay they were accused of only handed a light sentence for stealing and fraud by being demoted, while the officers whose money were stolen were jailed for life,what an irony!.
All Nigerians including every junior officer of the Nigerian military including the airforce and navy must stand for these gallant soldiers who stood their ground against corruption in the military,by saying no to the sentence or any form of punishment against them and support a call for the removal of the chief of army staff and independent investigation into the activities of the military in terms of management of funds provided the military with taxpayers hard earned money
