The Calabar-Lagos coastal road appears to be perennially swallowed in controversy since the first day of the project’s unveiling. https://businessday.ng/news/article/6-strange-things-about-the-calabar-lagos-coastal-highway/?amp 60 Likes 5 Shares

Again, it is a good project, but not a priority at this tight times. There are already existing roads in need of repair at the fraction of the cost of the estimated cost of that coastal road that would serve an even more urgent purpose than the coastal road. When this turns out to be the shambles it would eventually become, some clowns would turn on Umahi and his tribe and conveniently excuse the person on whose table the buck stops. 170 Likes 24 Shares |

Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi have all been vindicated. The only strange thing about this project is that it is the most massive corrupt project being surreptitiously embarked upon by the Tinubu’s government to rip off the ever docile Nigerian people. Imagine incurring this corruption in background of the current economic realities while many uncompleted or abandon roads projects are strewn across this nation. 132 Likes 10 Shares |

garykoeman: "...At a time in which the economy is bleeding profusely, there must be better areas to plough our little resources into, not coastal roads. In fact, the over N77 trillion debt and 96 per cent of total revenue to service it, alongside the criminal negligence of our roads, are sufficient red flags against this super highway now..."https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/691629-editorial-a-coastal-highway-of-misplaced-priority-and-due-process-abuse.html Just imagine what Nigeria will incur to service the loan that will be collected for this controversial project - at a whooping 96% rate. Remember debt servicing is not debt repayment. Meanwhile there are other more pressing national issues than these coastal roads. Investors are fleeing away and the economy is stagnating. 103 Likes 9 Shares |

adekolaelect:Meanwhile; -The Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Highway only scaled through the first phase of reconstruction under the last administration. -The Abuja-Lokoja Highway has not been completed. With its huge land mass, the northern region has more of such decrepit road infrastructure. -The East-West Road, a coastal road network in the South-South has been a work in progress through four administrations since 2005. The Calabar-Oron end and final stretch has not been touched. -A failed section of the road in Eleme, Rivers State, precipitated a fuel tanker fire late last month that burnt 120 vehicles and killed five persons. -The Calabar-Ituh Road, Ningi’s committee spent six hours on a journey, which ordinarily should take one hour; and the senator decried: “I have never seen and experienced what we saw on that road anywhere. Thousands of trucks stuck in traffic with little or no motion.” -The Benin Sapele Highway and Benin-Auchi-Okene-Lokoja Road remain a nightmare for motorists, who perennially block them in protest. -The Benin-Sagamu Expressway rehabilitation, started by the Jonathan administration, is still unfinished work. -The Lagos-Badagry-Seme Highway, whose Lagos end will increase from four to 10 lanes, is begging for completion. -In the South-East, reconstruction work on the Enugu-Port Harcourt Highway stopped at the Aba end, due to the lack of funds, as the Buhari presidency wound up. -The dual carriage work on the Owerri–Aba road has been suspended. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/691629-editorial-a-coastal-highway-of-misplaced-priority-and-due-process-abuse.html 35 Likes 8 Shares |

Why not start the project from the bushes, and conclude it in the city.. in that way business would still have like 2 or 3 years leeway to continue running.. the economy is already standing on k-leg with government looking for revenues. Why the hurry to destroy revenue-paying businesses at the beginning of a project that would last 5 years.. * a smart government would have prioritised joining Itakpe Rail station with Abuja station and complete Kaduna-Kano standard line.. That way you automatically connect South south to the core of the North.. Do you know how much relief you would have done to the people and the economy?! Moving people and Cargo via the standard guage.. imagine how it would aid movement of refined products from the awaiting refineries to the nothern region.. imagine how much it would save our roads from the heavy trucks.. Even as terrible as the immediate past government was, the first thing they did was quickly complete some about-to-be-completed projects across the country, getting quick wins in the process. This current government has gone on a wild goose chase of their own from day one and nobody understands what's going on..🤔🤔 But this is Nigeria. We allow our selfish and ethnocentric mentality becloud our sense of reasoning and the Nation suffers the consequences.. the APC has typified this alot. Everything is about 'self' for them first. 23 Likes 5 Shares |

Every right thinking patriotic citizen won't support this project riddled with corruption, only agbado miscreants do. Btw the world bank benchmark for construction of 1km of road is less than 250 million naira yet the govt would be spending 4 billion per km. 11 Likes |

Re: 6 Strange Things About The Calabar-lagos Coastal Highway by WhiteWood: 9:56am On May 06 |
We the patriotic citizens of Nigeria extend our FULL support to this project and firmly believe in Jagaban's leadership. It's crystal clear to us that PBAT is fully aware of the steps he's taking, and we have complete trust in his judgment. We are FULLY convinced that this project is not only necessary but also the correct course of action. Our faith in PBAT remains steadfast, grounded in the assurance that he possesses the competence and foresight to steer us in the right direction. Our commitment to him is unshakable, and we stand ready to stand by him through thick and thin. However, should circumstances arise where the project isn't completed or promises aren't upheld, we reserve the right to reassess our support. Yet, we are confident that failure is an unfamiliar word in Tinubu's political Dictionary of life and we remain radically optimistic about the success of this project. God Bless Nigeria God Bless PBAT. 10 Likes 1 Share |
