There is no single abandoned project in Lagos, all projects are either completed or passed to the next administration and completed. You only have abandoned projects in Adamawa in home state if the unrepentant treasury looter, Atiku, but there is also no abandoned project in Anambra because the Agulu fraudster didn’t even start any project .
Who are you deceiving? Badagry express road is an abandoned road. Since 2023.

Better pick up a telescope and start looking for it. Even if you can't see, at least, you have the ears and you are not deaf! All the Wike's projects being commissioned by Tinubu for weeks now, us it you that have been funding them.

Silence can be golden if you have nothing meaningful to write.

Congratulations to tinubu on receiving part his 2027 campaign money in advance courtesy of ECOwAS because you and I know the money is never going into any road project …for the first time in Nigeria we now have a government that not only legalized corruption but celebrates it…like the nafdac Yoruba woman head said that collecting bribes of 700 thousand naira per trader was in accordance with the “laws” of Nigeria as in bribes to open the shops of Onitsha traders they closed without committing any offense
And U think 100 million dollars is too huge for him to afford? He spent more than that to install Buhari in 2015, I don't think U know how much these guys are worth in the real sense. These ones steal in billion dollars at a time.

A solid infrastructure move. If the Lagos-Calabar highway is completed as planned, it could significantly improve logistics, boost regional commerce, and attract both local and foreign investment. Implementation will be key.

is this the "legacy project"?

Lagos-Calabar Highway Costs 7 times more per km than Pan-African Cairo-Cape town route.

1. Nigeria’s Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, a 700 km highway.

Budget: $11–13 billion

2. Cairo-Cape Town Highway, a 10,228 km Cairo-Cape Town Highway

Budget: $1.65 billion
Re: ECOWAS Bank Approves $100m For Lagos-calabar Highway Project by panpan(m): 10:19pm On Jul 06, 2025
huh
In summary, this is another loan.
All these external loans should stop.
It appears as if there are a few people in the federal government and the lending institution who get commissions from these loans.
When the federal government takes external loans, they indirectly take money from the general Nigerian population through naira devaluation, and excessive inflation.

are there no existing roads within the Lagos/Calabar corridor?

what is presently the state of those roads?

how will the Lagos-Calabar highway improve logistics, boost regional commerce, and attract both local and foreign investment that the existing roads cant?

what are the local and foreign investment that road will attract?

Very interesting news. I fact checked on the Ecowas Bank website but didn't see it during a quick read. I noticed the bank still has Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali as present members. High IQ ppl, please help me out comprehending this. Link below as proof that I tried to research the info. Also there are strong protests going on about conditions in Lome, Togo where the bank has its HQ.

If you had used your head at all, you would show the 40 roads done with the $84 billion. That is about $2 billion for each road on average or N3.2 trillion per road.

If you had also used your head small, you would ask why the $84 billion subsidy savings is more than the budget for 2024 and 2025 combined, yet we have a budget deficit from more loans than previous presidents borrowed.

If you are in the habit of using your head small, you would ask why ebilokan is borrowing money after saying he won't below, through his finance minister.

The Federal Government says it has no intention to borrow from any local or foreign organisation with its removal of subsidy on petrol and exchange rate harmonisation.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Chief Wale Edun, revealed this at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting on Monday in Abuja.

He said that the benefit of the subsidy removal would be ploughed back into various sectors aimed at boosting government revenue and improving the business environment for local and foreign investment.

Edun said that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.

He reiterated the President Bola Tinubu-led administration’s desire to bring back the economy from the wood it has found itself over time.
