Insults aside, Nigerians need to be educated on the Priority of this hugely expensive Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, when we already have a poorly maintained/uncompleted road network linking Lagos-Benin-PortHarcourt-Calabar

Peter obi is a Trader who knows nothing about governance.

Obi will always open mouth waaaa spewing rubbish to massage the ego of his brainless obedients.

I pity obi cos he can never be president. His I too know is even rubbishing his chances coupled with his obedients mobs.

Tinubu will rule for 8yrs and thereafter handover to the North.

Ribadu and wike 2031

As a regular traveler of the East-West road handled by the Setraco contractors, I frown at this elephant project. That road connects all the South South states spanning through about 7 states to neighboring country, yet, the road isn't accessible. What's the difference between the East-West road and this Calabar-Lagos, except for the introduction of rail lines?

This regime just wanna do one or two things sharply to embezzle money without taking care of it's citizens basic need

LandMann:
Most federal roads in Nigeria are in shambles, particularly in the south south that produces the crude oil used to feed the political elites and their stooges.

Instead of Tinubu's administration to focus on reviving the old dead roads so as to make transportation easy and reduce inflation he decided to start another white elephant project that will be used as an avenue to steal public funds and then abandoned.... 15 trillion naira o!

It's good that they are making clear the facts from the fictions. There is so much misinformation out there.

Anyone that prefers not to use the road when completed can always travel via Benin- Ore axis.

Remember how you guys fought us regarding Nigerian Air?

This is another Nigerian Air, a white elephant project which will serve as a conduit pipe for monumental corruption!

Insults aside, what exactly is the rationale for this hugely expensive Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, when we already have a poorly maintained/uncompleted road network linking Lagos-Benin-PortHarcourt-Calabar.

It's unfortunate that most Nigerian didn't know what they actually wanted or it's just to complain we like. 2nd niger bridge was the issue and in budget since the time of military to Obasanjo till Jonathan but was not done. It was a campaign slogan for decades till Buhari did it. I remembered some said that's not our real problem but it was completed. Now costal super highway was promised during campaign and it's being done but we don't know d value, ok let's check Nigerian map and see something. After all the money will not be paid now, it's when in use and connected 7 states. Fantastic.

GanagiBitrus:


The 2nd Niger Bridge was born out of necessity. Prior to this, you could sometimes spend hours crossing the 1st bridge.
Now, what is the necessity of this Coastal Road? Especially since we already have a similar poorly maintained/uncompleted road.

There are over 30bridges along the Warri-PH road, so imagine the no of bridges +cost of the new Coastal Road.

Litmus:
A project to repair 1000 roads offers more opportunity to embezzle money than a project aimed at constructing one single 1000 mile long road. Besides, a legacy project such as the Lagos Calabar road has social values in addition to the economic one.

1) it creates a discussion point

2) it will provide years of content for those that have created work or extra revenue streams for themselves by vloging on social media. Some of these Vlogers are also indirectly going to advertise Nigeria to international investors.

3) it can provide society a sense of progress and optimism. Note how the Lagos Rail project, energised many sections of Nigeria. It excited Nigerians, largely, regardless of tribe or social status. The Lagos transport revolution also empowered the citizens of other states, providing them with direction to channel thire frustrations, which was at thire own state governments.

4) it can, if handled well, provide a sense of inclusivity for all sorts of neglected groups.

Sir exactly, necessity but that is to those that uses it and not all Nigerian will use the 2nd Nigeria bridge or the coastal super highway. Costal highway links states with rivers only ( about 7 states) and close to the sea. It has higher level of economic value, it's only a visionary government that can embark on such huge projects. Just imagine bringing the sea to the floor or road side by side. It will help the ports in Nigeria.
If am not exaggerating, I can say only Jagaban can do this successfully have successfully initiated and commissioned similar heavy related projects like free trade zone, eko Atlantic, brought dangote refinery to ibeju lekki, it was on record he was super insulted by Lagosian that time, that he was selling inheritance to outsiders for his selfishness, but being a stubborn and focus person he facilitated d development of the corridor but today Lagosians how market?.
