No development like this will pass through the land of the wailing cannibals. Makes me so glad. They are being left behind when it comes to development, while their citizens are busy trying to develop other countries by illicit drug smuggling, 😆😂🤣

Oga it is not "our resources". It is the resources of the people in the Niger Delta, no amount is too much to spend if the development is for them. It is their money. Get that point first.
So why are you building it in Lagos? Hypritically naive. It has suddenly become for Niger Delta alone yet you are celebrating a project that's still in Lagos

You should rather put pressure on the federal government to start multiple sections of the road not to say it should be scrapped. This will not be the first road in Nigeria to be abandoned even if it is eventually.

I went to walk on the road close to Eko Hotel. It's concrete, greats street light but not what Nigeria need at the moment.

Na snail dey do the work?

Kai even if na tortoise dey do the work, e suppose don go far pass like this.

Smh
there might be other things to fault about that project but pace of constructio isnt one of them.

You do realise the legal and humanitarian stumbling blocks right. Businesses, houses etc. that will be demolished.

You are probably one of those that felt they were in haste to demolish Landmark beach

I wish you can pay a visit to the main site, believe me, you will appreciate the pace , the quality and you wil even justify whatever cost of the project.

Is there a use case for this? who asked for this? who needs it?
yes, alot.
It will reduce travel time of lagos to calabar from 13 hrs to 5 hrs, limeswise reduce other states on tbe corridor. You can work in Lagos and stay in Ondo ,just 1:30min., It will have a train track which will link Bua and dangote refinery to convey products ,that will redue Tŕucks and trailers from our roads ,It will open up new site and bring about
Development creating employment , housing , economic activities , income along the corridor .

The main issue with Coastal road is that its not the best way to spend our very limited resources. For N15trln there are better things to spend on. Besides there is an existing East West road that could have been fixed for maybe N1trln.

When I was relocating from PH to Lagos in 2017, I left my hotel in Rumuobiakani at 7am and went through East West road to Warri, then to Benin, then to Ijebu ode and entered Lagos via Lekki Epe and we were home in Ologolo, Lekki by 4pm. As at then PH to Warri was like 80% good, cos it was relatively new, though some bad spots dey. Warri to benin was like 60% - old road and rough, but had been patched and reasonably good with careful driving. Benin -Ore was brand new and spotless (like Lagos Ibadan now) 100%, while Ore to Ijebu was very, very rough with dangerous pot holes - 20%.

If East West road were made spotless all through, then i could shave like 1.5hours ff that time. Then FG can give a separate say N500bln contract for Calabar to Uyo which I hear is very bad, though its relatively short. We'd save like N10trln if not more.

East West road is more or less parallel to the coastal road, though a little bit more inland, so whats the big deal?

Excellent work! Next, let's focus on planning train routes from Lagos to Calabar, including strategic stopovers along the way.
Is it no too shameful that this is 2025 and there is no rail line linking Calabar to any part of the country.

The first capital of Nigeria. It's heartbreaking.

When will they get to Calabar with this pace of construction, they are still within Lagos since the project kick off. Give them next 10 years with this pace they won't compete this project.
I don't think this road will ever reach Calabar. I see it as a road that will connect the coastal areas of the south west alone
Re: Update As Lagos-Calaba Highway Reaches Okun-Ajah (Video) by bunlizlaw(f): 4:25am On Mar 22, 2025
This is a nice initiative, hopefully it doesn't become an abandoned project. 700km is very doable , there are longer roads here in CA. If TransCanada highway can be as long as 7,820 kilometers then 700km is very much feasible.

Omo like by this time of the year they are still within Lagos and you want us to believe its Lagos - Costal Highway?

PHIPEX:
Story that touch. People like you will disappear when it gets abandoned. The project is at Ajah in 2025, which year will it get to Ondo and in which decade will it get to Calabar?

That's how una dey use emotion to waste our scarce resources with white elephant projects. Common mile 2 to badagry is taking 15years to complete
What do you mean by waste "our resources " you don't have oil in your state do you? You wouldn't be this selfish if you had. There are countless abandoned projects out there by the federal government. If you want to be an activist go and fight against the others, if you have been silent on all other projects please remain silent on this too. Thank you.
