The Federal Government says demolition of structures within the first three kilometres of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway will begin on Saturday, April 27.

The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mrs Korede Keisha, disclosed this at a news conference on Thursday in Lagos.

Hmmm. This is a bold move by Federal Government to quickly advance the project and its compensation process.

Due to private-public partnership, the deadline of 8 years timeline would be surely met. Anyone going to Calabar and not happy with the highway can always travel via the longer route Benin - Ore.

Nice one by the federal government.
Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Demolition Of Buildings Commences Saturdays by Watinhapen(m): 5:22am On Apr 26, 2024
It’s not that this project will ever be completed in the next 50 years. They just want to be demolishing buildings. That’s all they know how to do best.
Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Demolition Of Buildings Commences Saturdays by Bobby4090: 5:22am On Apr 26, 2024
Best news of the week. Iam also happy that the compensation will be paid immediately. A direct road linking the biggest economy in Nigeria and the Oil producing regions through the coast is the best thing that can happen to Nigeria. Lots of premium land will be established and access to potential new sea ports will be opened.
Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Demolition Of Buildings Commences Saturdays by KIDfurniture(m): 5:24am On Apr 26, 2024
I pray we all live up to 8 years and even more. This project will be abandoned . They just want to loot and steal using this project as cover up.
Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Demolition Of Buildings Commences Saturdays by emkz:
Atiku has condemned the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway. Peter Obi has condemned it too, by stating it is better to fix old roads than build new ones.
https://www.thecable.ng/obi-lagos-calabar-coastal-highway-a-misplaced-priority-may-not-be-completed-in-30-years/

Obi previously argued that infrastructural development does not mean economic rejuvenation.
https://www.nairaland.com/7700390/peter-obi-infrastructure-cannot-economy

There is also the CEO of one resort making noise about not being consulted after he encroached into FG's land. Rufai Oseni of Arise News also spoke against the project. Same Rufai Oseni spoke against the Lagos rail project until the project started working and he had to eat his words. David Hundeyin lied that Dangote Refineries would not work until 2025.
I think now that the "Dangote Refinery" euphoria has died down, I can now mention that they packed themselves to Ibeju-Lekki to "commission" an uncompleted project because Buhari must cut ribbon before May 29.

That thing might not start functioning until 2025.

As you were.

Let us remember that all these people supported Godwin Emefiele when he manipulated the naira, killed businesses and wiped out over 20 trillion naira from the economy in a bid to frustrate Tinubu from winning the elections.

A common denominator among these people and the sudden suspicious evil political awakening in Nigeria is the hatred these people have for Nigeria! They don't like Nigeria, they never did. Their anger is fuelled by their hatred for the leadership that crashed their hopes. The Lagos-Calabar coastal highway is a project that was mooted more than 50 years ago, but never took off. As far back as 2015, Ben Ayade invited Buhari to turn the sod to begin construction, but it never took off. Instead of silly dilly-dallying through needless bureaucracy, Tinubu got the project off the ground, gave it to a Nigerian company and enemies of Nigeria are against it.

To Peter Obi:
(1) The US invested in massive infrastructural development during the Great Depression through an initiative by Franklin D. Roosevelt to spend America's way out of recession. It is senseless to argue that infrastructure does not tie to economic development.

(2) Visiting the US, you'd see a vast network of inter-state and intra-state roads, some of them needless, but most of them tolled. Along these roads, you'd find gas stations, restaurants and shops. That creates employment and revenue generation.

(3) The first of UN SDGs is reduce poverty. Any steps taken by anyone to reduce poverty, including poverty of the mind, are welcome.

To Atiku:
(1) The money for the bulk of Nigeria's development comes from the Niger-Delta. Your opposition to the project is an indication that you do not want a legacy project criss-crossing the Niger Delta because money is involved. Why do you make yourself an enemy of the Niger Delta?

(2) You claim Tinubu awarded the project to his allies, Hitech Construction, without competitive bidding. How come El Rufai accused you of fighting him over the sale of government assets to your own cronies when you were vice president and ge was BPE DG? Even Obasanjo accused you of being desperately corrupt and said he won't be forgiven if he supports you. El Rufai accused you and taunted you in his infamous book, "The Accidental Public Servant" while Obasanjo's accusations are in the public domain. If what these people said against you are not true, WHY DIDNT YOU SUE THEM FOR DEFAMATION? Perhaps you don't want more can of worms to be opened?

(3) You had a significant interest in Intels that was involved in NPA contracts. Was this proper as VP?

Then to the resort CEO. Whoever told you Nigeria's shorelines and beachfronts belong to you? If your business is in the right of way, shift it. Blackmail will not work.

To all the enemies of Nigeria, may your evil wishes upon this country never come to fruition.

This is the Lagos Calabar Propaganda Highway of the APC Agbadorians Governmentgrin

This road will not get to 15 percent completion during the whole of Tilumbu time in office.

We have important roads like the East West road and the Benin Abuja begging for attention. Ekpoma close to AAU is an eyesore. But instead of FG to focus and complete these ones they want to start a new one.

This is like a man who builds a bungalow house to lintel level and then stops it to start a mansion. The Tilumbu led FG lacks direction. You can't govern with Propaganda undecided

Nigeria and destruction of properties eh... didn't they carry out a land survey before those lands were being given out...abeg. they know what they are doing.

Imagine the loss of jobs
Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Demolition Of Buildings Commences Saturdays by iampeterben(m): 5:28am On Apr 26, 2024
Don't just demolish but put out plans to compensate the owners of the buildings or structures you will be demolishing. I once think this road project is a welcome development.
Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Demolition Of Buildings Commences Saturdays by mukthar2000(m): 5:28am On Apr 26, 2024
Nice move, hope my property would not be tampered with this time , like when they took part of my land during the rail contribution.

Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Demolition Of Buildings Commences Saturdays by Blazetrailer: 5:35am On Apr 26, 2024
Lol...this road is not getting to Calabar. I pity the gullible Nigerian believing the dummy sold to them by Tinubu. It will end with the 1st phase when it gets to the Lekki Free Trade Zone. That us the only viable portion of the project, then it will be abandoned afterwards. The target is ti create a highway between the new commercial centre of lagos, the refinery, seaport, airport and business areas in Lekki, to the Eko Atlantic city for the Chagourys who helped to fund Tinubus campaign.

Tinubu, the satanic demon killing his citizens.

This demon brought Buhari that wrecked the economy, now this same satanic demon forced his way into power and instead of fixing the country so we can forgive him for stealing the people's mandate the thief has set about enriching himself after employing dozens of social media propaganda pushers.

They come online everyday to spin fake achievements while the common man and woman are dying everyday.

This man is satanic evil demonic and a pestilence to this nation.
. everything he touches gets more expensive and doesn't get better..

He has increased electricity tarrif yet power. Supply is worse since he took over.

This man should not complete 4 year s
Please!!! Let the same angel that took Abacha take this man..

Go out to the markets and see how people are crying and suffering

Yet this demon sits in his house planning how to make life more difficult for us so we can't rise up against him?

Kai this man is a demon . Every good thing he met he has destroyed. Dollar exchange rate
Electricity tarrif
Cooking gas
Fuel
Diesel
Food
Jobs
Security
Now they want to make calls and data expensive so we can't tell the world on the Internet how useless he is

Oh angel that took Abacha pls take this demonic Tinubu!!!!
Please!!!
I don't care who take over from him, Shetimna , Atiku , Sowore , Obi , anyone is better than this demon !!!

Chai..




In this era, don't buy a land or build a house without having a proper title from the government.


Even though demolition might want to happen because of a government plan, you will be paid handsomely beyond the value of your land or house if you have the proper title.


Lobatan.

Igbo boy? You are a typical uncivilized jobless youth from the side where they machete their elders over palmoil, land and inheritance.
The side where they slap their elders in traffic
From the side where they use their mother's for ritual

So I am not surprised grin
