This sounds a bit educated, and appreciated.

I decided to do some search online and it said it would cost a few billions to tens of billions to build a 12 km over the sea bridge.

The problem with the bridge is down to the illegal sand mining and other illegal activities that are causing erosion and so on.

We live in a low trust society so nobody believes whatever government says.

What is obvious was that global best practices were not engaged in maintaining and protecting the bridge, hence the present avoidable problem.
Who is mining sand illegally around the bridge?
It sounds farfetched to me

If u are on the bridge... u will notice dat there is notin wrong wit the bridge... dey only want to use dis opportunity to embezzle money...


Arrangee no ni
I would rather they build an entirely new bridge with Morden facilities and systems than rehabilitation of the outdated poorly maintained one.

Atleast we know where the money went than a phony rehabilitation that u cannot reliably assess.

Maybe
Maybe not

But mining sand 30m below sea level doesn't sound like something that can be done illegally

I am sure this was the news that broke the camel’s back , compelling the Canadian court to give that verdict about APC/PDP.

David Umahi, has said the structural rehabilitation of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State will cost about ₦3.6 trillion,

warning that extensive underwater damage threatens the country’s busiest bridge. grin

Most of us will continue to complain on Nairaland forum while our wealth are squandered by few politicians.
Nairaland forum is never a court of law and your voice can never be heard.

See huge amount of money they are using
Re: Third Mainland Bridge Rehabilitation To Cost ₦3.6 Trillion — Umahi by abbaashiru(m): 1:03am On Aug 15, 2025
Approximately 20 trillion in Lagos alone in just over 2 years






sulaak:
They are cashing out, N3.6 trillion for rehabilitation. N720 billion for MMIA and N15 Trillion for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road. You don't need a PhD to figure out what is going on.

The failure of the opposition to create a common party is the reason why Tinubu can continue with his plan to bankrupt Nigeria.

There's nothing wrong with that bridge. And if they were to be, which should be the case given our miserable maintenance culture, our SW friends had always seized every opportunity to remind us that Lagos belong to them.

I agree, now go fix your bridge yourselves. I think it's the responsible thing to do. We all built it, you threw us under the bus, and I hope no one is banking on SE and SS resources to build or fix what you claim is yours.

A new airport terminal, Lagos coastal road, a new bridge, all presumably to be built by Hitech Construction Company Ltd. C'mon now, Nigeria extends beyond Lagos and SW.
