Still waiting to see how 700km road will be completed in 3years..... it'll take a miracle to complete..

They said 8yrs project. Not 3yrs.

ichuka:
All the roads from Lagos to the South South, South east and North are 60% un motorable these new roads is a waste of resources.

In 2014 Lagos to Ibadan Expressway was a jungle and nightmare. Sagamu to Ore was nightmare when Jonathan decided to construct the Lagos Calabar Coastal Railway line. If he had started that time would that have also be a wasted resources?

We cannot be stagnated forever. Globally, Coastal Highway creates new economic opportunities. The rate of return on investment is very good.

I still find it hard to understand the wisdom behind this infrastructure expenditure. Good as it may be, we have better things to do than the amount spent or to be spent on this.

BAT's idea against the whole of the country.

Opportunity right and left.

When it is completed, please don't use it.

The most stupid thing to do by a government is to abandoned the spoilt and deteriorable roads infrastructure all over the country especially those roads in the entire Southern Nigeria, a region that brings the funds for you to be able to engage in all your excessive shenanigans and starts flirting with another roads called coastal roads and be sinking fund into this gulping expenditures that wouldn't add any value to the citizens lives at the moment......the best a good government can do to be fair is to embark in the two at the same time......Nigerians are suffering on the deteriorable roads all over the country.....some roads in Gaza, a war torn country is far better than the roads in Nigeria. Government should be ashamed of themselves......Tinubu especially should cover his face in shame......You can't be calling a person a thief and still caught him romancing a chicken.....What a disgusting Shame on all Nigerian leaders.....

OneCandleAway:
Isn't it possible to drive to Calabar now or there is no road presently to Calabar. When the whole nation is hungry and battling malnourishment, it's road that's the priority.

So nah government go bring food come your table??

U guys are very funny 🤣

Road make bandit Go still dey kidnapp citizen
Abeg this money should be invested in security instead of road

Look at the bigger picture. Are you familiar with Abuja - Kaduna expressway? That was once hot bed of banditry and kidnappings. In fact I was too afraid to ply that road during those days that I had to join the train to get to Kaduna during those days

Here we are that same road, when last did you get a report of banditry or kidnapping on that road?

Barrywilly:
The road will definitely benefit some communities when and if completed. My ultimate fear is the maintenance. I would have have preferred if they could just reconstruct the existing roads.

It's concrete

richiemcgold:
This is a virgin land, I guess. That's going to be a great job. Ilaje kingdom has been sidelined for too long. I can now understand the reason they say coastal road will open up some places.

It is long overdue

Stop the Propaganda.
They didn't say it will be completed in 3 years.

It will be completed by 2031.

Go and find out

ArcSEMPECJ:
Please don't insult Americans, they don't place kick backs and blowing of contract terms before their citizens, they value their citizens more than they value the roads they construct....

After constructing the coastal road, how many kidnappers do you think it will recruit in Nigeria Take case study from the existing roads now in the hands of bandits ....

So you believe bandits would hide inside water and then come out to stop fast moving cars on a coastal highway?

The two are being done at the same time.

Follow who knows road. Not a lamba king.

We are on the right track.

When completed, there would be development along the corridor, opening up development on the villages and towns along the corridor. Filling station, hotel accommodations etc and reduce travel hours along the corridor. As we speak some smart guys have started buying land for Hotel eateries and filling station.

Don't bother, it is when the whole Lagos calabar coaster road work is completed, that time you can let us know.

Stop the Negative Energy and mindset.

This is Jagaban. Na talk and do

My own is that they should complete the project let it not be abandoned and future power holders won't use the project as a means to chop kala

The coastal road economies are more viable than the existing ones. What makes it the best legacy project in the history of the country are as follows:

1. Opening up the uncovered areas in the South South. These uncovered areas are the parts the bandits and kidnappers are using for their nefarious activities.

2. Shore protection works along the corridor will preserve the coastal communities that the ocean surge have demisified over the years.

3. Since there is arrangement for tolling, the maintanace is guaranteed and also revenue generation for the FG.

4. Encouragement of exportation along the coastal and reduce dependence on Lagos for marine economy.

5. Massive business opportunities to the forgotten states like Bayelsa and Delta because the coastal roads is, opening them up for merchandising and non oil businesses

6. It will reduce over dependence on the East West road which is expiring already ( the average life span of asphalt road is believed to be 20- 25 years).

While many see it as misplaced priority, I think it is a right call and the right time because waiting till when things will be balanced will never ever happen. The only perfect place was only promised and never experienced by mortals.

AsgardKing:
We want to be like the developed world but don't want to do the work. Do these guys think that the i-10 and i-20 in America flew down from the skies?

America is X10 of Nigeria or so yet connected by good roads. These skeptics would have left America as a village if you let them govern with their negativity. Nothing is worth comending.

Gbam! Brilliantly said!

So Nigeria should spend trillions of naira to build a coastal highway of fraud when it is yet to tackle issues like insecurity and electricity and even fix existing inter-state roads? It’s like a poor man saving to buy a high end car when he doesn’t even have a roof over his head, just to measure up with rich celebrities

That’s how your logic sounds

Are you living in Nigeria? Works are currently on going on almost all the roads in Nigeria. I dare you point out one single one that is bad and is not being attended to?

Ilaje local government segment of Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.

Starting from Irokun, en route Agerige down to Oke ipare, all 63 kilometers of the road passes through Ondo State 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TINUBU
@officialABAT , Ondo state is grateful

See the thickness of the solid cement road.....
BAT is working....... This image is Eleko inside Ibeju Lekki.

Driving from Lagos to Calabar in 7 hours on papers and in Asiwaju's head.

You would be able to travel from Lagos to ph and come back same day......that would be really great for our country.

nobody promised 3 years. Stop being mischievous

achorladey:
Thanks jare. They want magic. It won't happen. Na serious work. I am still waiting for the day Nigeria will protest against importation. That's where pressure point to reset this country lies.


Massive protest against importation of anything we can replace, substitute or practically of no use here to encourage local extraction of resources more and adopting them to fit the need of this country.

Buhari tried it with rice but rice farmers started hoarding to create artificial scarcity to push up price. Nigerians are different breed of people.

Why thanking him!! Na him money him use do am?

Someone that is about to task everyone to bone.

seunmsg:
You don’t understand why roads are being built or you don’t understand why Tinubu should be building a road that makes it possible to drive from Lagos to Calabar in 7 hours?

When did you last travel between Sagamu and Benin? This major economic thoroughfare can now be described as a death trap, and that is an understatement. Nigerians are losing their lives and livelihoods every day on what should otherwise be known as the gateway between the south and the west.

Only Tinubu and his friend Gilbert Chagoury know what is going on inside those swamps.

Whenever you people are closely corrected , it turns to wailing ...

.You supported Buhari, and called people who saw the truth and shouted at it as WAILERS, today, the same you folks are telling us that TINUBU is trying to Stabilize the mess in Buhari's Government, the same Government all of you both Tinubu were advisers to?

Like I said , leave Americans alone, they don't have a mundane thinking and don't reason based on religion and tribalism, you need to visit there to understand that right now , Nigeria is the evil forest of America ...

]it's an irrelevant project. If we do not have existing inter-state roads, [/i]then I'd go with the idea. But having Inter-state roads that needs urgent fixing, yet building new roads is a waste of resources.

To be truthful its not irrelevant. Why should road from Lagos to say Calabar/Abuja be passing different states? That's total waste of time and stress. There should be separate road for long stretch of travel

I travel from Lagos to/fro Abuja for business.. passing thru Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti/Ondo/Kogi to Abuja which you term inter-state roads are total outdated/waste of time.

Direct/coastal roads are much better, save time.. you know time is money.. Also open up communities.

In an European country, I travelled from one city to the capital, the road was just straight and decidated road, not going thru states.

Emnyte:
Buhari tried it with rice but rice farmers started hoarding to create artificial scarcity to push up price. Nigerians are different breed of people.

Imagine rather than use that to leverage their opportunities to counter importation of rice they started elevating their price to match imported ones and ended making Nigerians feel what the essence of stopping importation.

E just get as e be oooo. That's why Nigerians lament, I shake my head. I think they embrace being fed lies more than bracing up to face reality.
