Hmmn

They should do all they can to complete it. If the likes of Pandora become president he will abandon the project, he’s a fundamentalist with a very strong heart

Is the stress of going allover from Lagos to Calabar actually worth it?

Old Lagos Calabar route
Lagos-Benin 314km
Benin-Warri 98km
Warri-PH 194km
PH-Calabar 312km

Total ~820km.

dey cry nah, enemy of state

dominique:
The direct route is actually 753km, that's about 53km more than the proposed coastal road but a whopping 14 hour drive. I expect the coastal road to give faster travel time compared to the main road that's riddled with potholes

I served in Calabar in 2013 and this is my normal route. I don't know how the OP comes about going through Warri and PH.
Also, don't mind that person saying your route is passing through Ibadan. That is Lagos - Ore - Benin road.

Enemy of progress. It is worth it.

Now that the project shows good and great prospects, the next thing on the headless mob agenda is to compare it with other things

This is a coastal highway....not just any kind road.

Oya look for another reason to be angry at the project.

There is even another route that's just 54km longer. It makes little sense to me why at this time, they are building such a road. A shorter road from ondo to delta to PH is enough. Whever wants to invest will always invest.

White Elephant project.

Half of the money should have be used to fix dilapidated federal highways yawning for repairs. Over 80% of the federal highways are in dire straits. Requiring repairs.

Why not fix the bad roads and spare us this huge bogus expenses?

There's still leadership dearth in this country. A lot of wastages on irrelevant projects.

No to Lagos -Calabar Highway! It's a mere conduit pipe in siphoning our money.

SOBS 😭

Passing through essentially what is marshland, it will cost gargantuan amounts to maintain, just ask the NDDC or the IOC's.

Tolls will be high enough to price the road out of the market. And then the future issues of coastal flooding and sea level rise.

I still cannot see how 12 billion dollars on this is money well spent.

Ttalk:
The new coastal road will open up new area increase investment in those areas, create job, enhance our water transportation as well as the aquatic business along that corridor

so that the lagos port will continue to be in business and other ports die. The west knows what they are doing because if other ports work,why wouldn't such create opportunities everywhere and reduce the crowds at Lagos

How is that a good thing to borrow money for instead of fixing the existing bad roads

Ndi aquatic corridors are here..

If it is riddled with potholes then why not repair them with a tiny fraction of the initial amount of $12 billion estimated to be borrowed for the new road

I hear the thing is a monumental fraud that the bid didn't even pass through the normal due process.

There's an existing road to Calabar already. Why not fix power that is not available in Nigeria? Do you know the multiplier effect that that would have in industrialization and stimulating economic growth? You are duplicating what you already have instead of creating what will be relevant to industrialization.

Abi Calabar people tell you say road no dey from Lagos to Calabar. APC people don't know basic opportunity cost and scale of preference in economics.

Just chop your percentage in peace and stop to dey booboo people

The price tag...$15 billion....that was the estimated for a 10 lane highway ...now it's already down to 6 lanes. Has the cost reduced? ... has the time frame reduced? ....or this doesn't matter? This is how we support looting and don't even know.
Couldn't' the money be better spent expanding and improving present highways and other roads on that corridor? I can bet my life 10 years from now the highway will not be completed ...the price tag will increase ...and the six lanes will reduce to four.

see where they are decieving you that road will pass

Just like the kano-maradi rail has done.

If 30km is done in 1yr, how long will it take to do 700km?

mod hide my earlier comment.


wen mod turn to spam bolt, u know we have entered one chance in this country.

is it sand fill to block water way that they want to do?


or thousands of bridges?


this is what i wrote, mod turn to spam bolt ban my comment talking about construction.


this site will never stop being a funny place

Thought ronus wants Easterners out of Lagos?

dederocs:
Driving on a straight line is always faster and no hold ups, no threat of kidnappers on coastal highway. Easy straight road.

Connectivity is another thing it connects easily Lagos Victoria Island to Calabar, people living along lekki expressway can easily connect to the highway, instead of going to mainland to connect.. Your article reeks of bitterness.

I've since seen through the tactics of BAT on this LCCR. His intent is to develop the coastal areas of Lagos state, Ogun state and Ondo state. That's why 95% of the efforts are been put on the Lagos axis, not Calabar's. I'm surprised that the Niger Deltans were deceived to support this project, when the main artery into the oil-rich region is in a state of disrepair. The East West road is taking an eon to complete. The proposed coastal railway has been relegated. Even the Warri Itakpe line is that connects the Niger Delta to North central, is yet to be linked to Abuja. What a nation of mispriorities!

If you a travellers you will appreciate it. Nothing worst than a bumpy road with endless police checkpoint. A journey of 1hrs can easily extent.




Plus there will be functioning port in calabar soon. This i for see. Lagos will be overload with trucks from all parts. This makes for smooth easier access to tjat reguon and beyound.

Wen Government want to steal, they will find a project big enough to hide funds.

tunjion:

I've always insisted that the road is meant to develop the south west coastal areas. Not even 20 trillion will deliver a true coastal road through the Niger Delta

Princedapace:
The ones that we have, how many investment didn't it attract?
Make Una fix security and restructure the country, fix electoral system, investments will flow.

How many investment you put. Always criticizing

You always complaining.

If the near coastal cities like warri could chase investors away, i wonder how the coastal villagers will accommodate them peacefully. The road also opens room for abduction into the sea and possibly other west African states. They did not fix insecurity. Wonderment.

When are we going to move past road water and electricity

i tire my brother .road road road.

Did Pandora not save Anambra money in the same bank he was part of
