It takes foresight to appreciate what the road is about. 1. To reach the South-South of Nigeria from Lagos and the North of Nigeria it by passes the South-East of Nigeria with its intractable insecurity directly linked with the IPOB agitation. 2. Just so Biafra is had it ensures Nigeria will not need to pass through Biafra to reach the South-East region of Nigeria. 3. It securely keeps Biafra away from sea and the Atlantic to which Biafra has no access which is why it seeks to coerce people groups who have access to the sea to be part of Biafra. 4. It enhances trade and people movement and bonding along the coastal corridor of Nigeria. Good initiative!

Their people will not support them as they are integrating well with other tribes in Nigeria. Those that maintain a confrontational and adversarial style with others are regarded as heroes.
Oga, rest! I put it to you that you will tag them IPOB the day they decide to run for presidency. Na who no sabi una dey take una seriously

Do you realize how much this road is a drain to tax payers money.
1. The road will require tremendous amount for maintenance.
2. The road is a duplicate of the Lagos Benin expressway which serves the same purpose of cutting out Biafra if routed from Benin to warri.
3. The road because of high fuel cost will be under utilized and will end up a misplaced priority. Like the ebonyi international airport.
4. The 15trillion would have been used to bailout the economy build houses for Nigerians , bailout out farmers, invest in schools, agriculture in Ogun, ondo, edo etc .
5. Aside building road, the government could have invested in the maritime economy that can allow goods from Lagos shipped to calabar.

4. The road is a very big misplaced priority because a railroad would have achieved a better objective and also solved more problems

If it's going to take 2 years to complete 47km of road out over 800km, then it shows that the road can't and won't be completed in 8 years as initially claimed

The healine is misleading; it gives the impression that the whole length of the highway will be ready.
However, the report states that the first 47 kilometres, out of 700 km, will be ready by May 2025.
The headline isn't misleading.
It specifically mentioned PHASE 1.

Let me comment my reserve in a country where the stones, cement, water and man power used are all locally sources. They claim 4billion/kilometer. It is well

Hmmmmm. Ok but we still need a Highway from the older Federal Capital in Lagos to this already very old one in Abuja. Not a single highway from Lagos to Abuja since Lord Lugard era.

If a contractor uses 2yrs to do 47km of road,
How many years will they need to do 700km?

1km of road is actually N21billion 😱😩

Okorocha and Dave Umahi have both run for office before. They were only called names by their own people.

Soludo was also the VP candidate but was never vilified.

And how many Yoruba and Hausa APC members voted for Okorocha when he ran for presidency during APC national convention?

Replying some of you is a total waste of time and I won't do that again.

Why not expend a quarter of that amount to fix failed portions of Benin -sapele-warri highway and Benin Bye Pass -Asaba highways?

Let the Minister navigate those roads and tell us the state of the roads. They're yawning for repairs. A journey of 1hr takes over 6 hours and beyond.

FG should rehabilitate the bad roads. Not the controversial Lagos -Calabar coastal highway.

I am very glad that the south west portion of this road will be finished before 2027. Very glad. The remaining sections, will only be attempted if the south south vote for Tinubu at 2027 elections, simples 😊.

The reason why children of hate are against the coastal road was because he is not connecting their region. As an Edo man, even if it will not pass through my state but am very happy cause it will brought changes along those communities affected and Nigeria will benefit. Some monkeys are already making jest of the road that it still in 47km. Same people that said the road would will be abandoned. Always bitter about progress of other region.
