Nice one.

Road construction has changed radically, it now possible to construct and commission 1000km road using just a paintbrush.

Won’t it be nicer to fix the bad roads all around the country instead of borrowing money for this white elephant project?

Thanks to the lovely policy of PDP removing toll gates, a policy that their clones APC have kept, there is no money to keep the roads working well...so bad roads.

Saner climes toll the road, not because oppression but because the roads have to run well , and it costs more than just the budget.

Na Calabar Juju tinubu dey use, him wan first fulfill his campaign promises to them first.

GIFTEDPLANNERS:
How many km is this. Starting it in Lagos is for a reason best known to them

30 km

A newly released aerial video highlights the construction progress on Phase 1 of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, developed by Hitech Construction Company.

The project marks a major step in Nigeria’s infrastructure development along the southern corridor.

Beautiful! But they should do and add the rail track.

Is this a white elephant projects, road that is nearing completion.

Fixing of bad roads in different states is the responsibility of the state government, what are the using the monthly federal allocation to do

The suffering masses need to survive hunger and have money in their pockets in order to be able to buy fuel into their cars or pay for transport to use the road!

Here you go again with your argument for politicians to steal money from us and get more luxuries for themselves instead of employing civil servants who are paid well for government services and utilities to be provided for everyone.

[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Journalist: how do you intend to engage members of your party who are members of the house, so that they can stand different.......?

they claimed its going to be 4 lanes on each side but what they constructed is 2lanes, in future, that 2 lanes will not be enough to accommodate motorists

NICE BUT TOO NARROW FOR AN INTERSTATE ROAD

Celestialsword:
Is this a white elephant projects, road that is nearing completion.

Fixing of bad roads in different states is the responsibility of the state government, what are the using the monthly federal allocation to do

Nearing completion of 30 kms of the over 700 kms total?

Interstate highways are the responsibility of the federal government.

He just saw an opportunity to practice some grammar. Leave him o. If state government can fix their own roads, that would leave us with mostly interstate and a few connecting roads between some cities

Only 2 lane? haba!!!

A newly released aerial video highlights the construction progress on Phase 1 of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, developed by Hitech Construction Company.

The project marks a major step in Nigeria’s infrastructure development along the southern corridor.

Avedonn:
This coastal road project is unnecessary. The government should instead prioritize initiatives that stimulate sustainable economic growth. This includes creating a viable business environment to attract both foreign and domestic investment, while simultaneously empowering local businesses.

This would generate more meaningful employment opportunities, directly addressing the root causes of poverty and reducing the alarming crime rates fueled largely by joblessness and desperation.

The existing roadway linking Lagos to the South-South region already provides the necessary connectivity. Rather than embarking on a costly new project, the government should focus on efficiently rehabilitating and maintaining this current infrastructure to ensure it remains safe and fully motorable.

This will represents a far more strategic allocation of public resources than the coastal road, which appears to be a misplaced priority.

A standard rail line would have addressed this issue too and at a cheaper rate for the populace

I thought they promised to create a space in the middle of the high for a railway?

How else would ebilokan have the opportunity to steal money from the loan, to bribe politicians who will let him continue APC shege of the last decade?

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Seriously PDP Man, stop using this inane argument.

At the end, democracy is for people to hold their government to account.

And yes, we should have kept on tolling the roads.

Corruption happens in other countries too.

Abeg, if I hear this nonsense argument again, I go get angry. That's how you guys excuse inefficency and corruption, and laziness.

christejames:
It's only Tinubu and APC that commissions a project that is less than 30% to complete





What a remarkable record

Oga, it’s 4% not 30%. If it was 30%, we wouldn’t have condemned it.

Where you see 30%?
Even they themselves told you it's 4% and 30km.

That brewery is still employing thousands of nigerians till today but ur bulaba president that have collected trillions of naira of loans have absolutely nothing to show for it.

They will not ooo. They rather do something that will benefit them financially. If your toilet w.c is broken will you change your house? No you will change the W.C.

God bless our leader with more wisdom 🙏

Whats the crime in having alternative routes to parts of the country. It's like you don't even know how capable the country is to execute all these things without stress. If not for corruption we can have all you stated including new roads and still live a good life

They won’t be able to install tollgates on the railways. Do you know how many toll gates they plan to install on this road? Unfortunately, you, I, and even our unborn children will be stuck paying the exorbitant cost of constructing this fraudulent project they call a road.
