i'm already seeing the negative comments of the enemies of progress. and i can only say one thing, which i have always said about this noble project. Unfortunately for them, Tinubu does not need their permission before doing what he has to do. Anybody who is not happy with this project is very free to continue using the old road when it's completed. as for us, we will use the road, we will leave from Lagos by 7am through the is;land and see ourselves in PH at noon. Even when it is tolled, we will pay.

Everybody wants to jap simply because they have access to many things, including infrastructure but to build their own, mbanu! they claim it's not necessary, na road them go chop? smh!

You guys don't get the argument, fix existing roads that r in deplorable conditions before you embark on projects that won't be completed during your life span.
Also you r borrowing to do a project that will take more than 10yrs at the current speed to be completed, what if the next occupant of Aso Rock decide not to continue on that project especially if he comes in and check the books seeing so many errors, inflated figures and whatnots?


Go to Akwaibom, the Ibom specialist clinic built n commissioned by akpabio, there is an abandoned facility in that complex, when Udom came in, in the transition documents the project was 100% completed, commissioned and opened to the public, meanwhile most contractors were not paid, the second building wasnt fully equipped, they just hurriedly commissioned the first building cos He(Akpabio) was rounding up his tenure as governor.
This is a project to loot. A white elephant project with no purpose. They know what they are doing. Only dumb people will believe thier gimmick. Bunch of looters. They just cleared one part of the bush and said project has commenced. Bunch of jokers

Have they been fully restored and completed from the $84 billion subsidy savings of the last two years huh


TimeManager:
The Federal Government has revealed that the elimination of the petrol subsidy under President Bola Tinubu has resulted in savings of over $84 billion, which are now being channelled into the construction and rehabilitation of 40 key road projects across the country over the past two years.

This was disclosed in a policy brief released by the National Orientation Agency (NOA), titled “Two Years Later: Key Benefits of Subsidy Removal,” and made available to journalists over the weekend in Abuja.

The report, which reviewed the outcomes of the subsidy removal since May 29, 2023, noted that the policy averted a looming economic crisis.

It also enabled the Tinubu administration to clear long-standing financial liabilities, increase capital investments, and support the financial stability of state governments.

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.
Na today the whole nation dey hungry? When the govt failed to build road the nation will be hungry for road and now that the govt is building the road the nation is hungry for food! Unsatisfied human being.

Who told you agriculture and livestock development are not being taken care of? What do you think PBAT had been doing with Brazil? What do you think the tractors recently procured are being used for? Above all, existing federal roads are getting required attention while new ones are still being built. May Tinubu succeed,God bless Nigeria forever

Thank you Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TINUBU
@officialABAT , Ondo state is grateful
Heavy pains to bitter people. They are fast losing their weight because of bitterness and hatred. Nigeria is already rising and no need of new Nigeria been championed by the tribal and religious bigot to gain access to aso rock. His now hypocrites severally condemned him for poor performance in small anambra. Nigeria is getting close gradually to the promise land.

Are you guys paid to say this kind of things? Once you people hate someone like this, no matter what the person does, people like you will keep on hating.

Work is ongoing in Akwa Ibom and Cross River section of the road
I passed the cross River section along Akamkpa road, saw the signpost, no truck was there.

If work is ongoing, abeg help us snap pix today make we see.

Likewise Akwaibom axis..

Hitech just enetered Cross River to continue the section of Calabar-Odukpani-Itu road awarded to
Julius Berger which was revoked by Umahi.
If they were so busy, nothing for bring them come that tiny portion they just award to them.

People like you are just bitter and frustrated. This is the same way some people like you were claiming there was no work going on at the Lagos section when work started.

Now, you too show me evidence work is not ongoing in Cross River and Akwa Ibom

Iam bitter and frustrated cos anytime i travel to uyo from Calabar, i spend more than 3hours, thats if there is no gridlock.
That is an existing road reawarded by Buhari in 2018, till now work hasnt even reach 30% if you sum up the entire project from Calabar to ikot ekpene.

I can't ignore a house that I'm living, which is leaking and having serious foundational fault and at the verge of collapse, run to another location, start building a new apartment, not just apartment, Duplex with borrowed funds...

That's stupidity, cluelessness...

Can you compare the hunger in the land today to before. Can you compare Jonathan's time to this. People can't even afford protein. People begging for the fish head that was reserved for dogs before, to the extent they are now selling the fish head. On nutritiist was listing mushroom and insects as alternative sources of protein because they noticed people can't even afford fish, others were commenting crayfish is now expensive.

[b]You are calling communities that feed the entire country [/b]shrub communities. The states where this project connects are Coastal states who form the bulk of those contributing to the revenue of this country.

Does the Abuja Kaduna rail benefit the entire country?
Does the 2nd Niger bridge benefit the entire country?

This project is to benefit those states feeding you. If you don't like it, that's your business.
How does those villages feed the entire country? What do they produce? Please educate me?

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.

Dave Umahi has said how much a km of the Lagos Calabar coastal highway cost, but closed minded people like you have refuse to listen.

It's so funny people like you who support politicians and parties like Obi, Atiku and the PDP can be asking how much a km of road cost sha grin Under the PDP administration , they just tell us they have constructed a road without telling us how much it cost per km.

PDP will claim to have spent billions of naira on a road, when you get there, you won't see what they spent the money on.

So you won't Tinubu to fix a road PDP didn't fix in 16 years in less than 3 years?

You want Tinubu to fix a road Buhari didn't fix in 8 years in less than 3 years?

Uyo to Calabar expressway is not the only expressway that's in a bad shape in Nigeria, if Obasanjo, Yardua and Jonathan built solid roads like Tinubu is building, we won't be where we're today.

I hope you're not one of the people who are supporting candidates and parties like PDP, ADC, Atiku, Tambuwal, and Obi sha?

The issue with u yorubas is you guys dissociate Tinubu's tenure from Buhari.
Apc has done 10yrs sofar, by 2027, that will be 12yrs., the road in question was reawarded by Buhari around 2018 if I'm not mistaken, this is 2025, 7yrs later the project hasn't reach 30%..

During GEJ,. That road was constantly maintained, the longest hour you could spend on that road was 2-3hrs if there is gridlock caused by fallen truck...
Atleast I'm supporting someone who hasn't carried drugs and cocaine before.

I'm not from the south south and i don't know much about the road because it's not really popular. But roads like Benin-Auchi,East West road, Benin-Asaba, etc were in bad condition. Even the road that leads to Otuoke was in bad condition till it was fixed by the APC

Do you have an evidence who i'm supporting is ever convicted of crime? The way you're talking about someone carrying drugs is so funny sha, person from the south east dey cry say person dey carry drug 😂
