Tinubu government is really breaking record.
Breaking record of corruption that was broken by his predecessor in Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC huh

socialmediaman:
The 2018 Rating by Transparency International placed Nigeria at 148th position out of 180 countries. Nigeria was improving over the years under the previous government, until Buhari got elected as president, things became worse.

There is a difference between fact and fiction. We need to face facts, Buhari is worse than GEJ when it comes to fighting corruption, at least that’s what the facts prove.

Most of us believed there was corruption under Goodluck Jonathan’s Government. I agree with those who did, there was corruption, but not as bad as it is today under Mohammadu Buhari.

In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position. Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th.

There’s no further proof needed that corruption has worsened under Buhari’s government compared to previous years.

It was reported that Otti spends 10 bn per km of road in Abia, your ilk are all over the thread explaining. But here you are calling a person a thief for 7.5bn on coastal road. Oya, open the thread to see explanation.

This link you posted is an unverified report from a reputed nairaland APC supporter.

No source, no proof just beer parlor talk.

its like they are constructing this road to make it possible for aero planes to land and take off from there, ask yourself how much it cost to construct a kilometer of a tarmac?

Stop talking nonsense! This is Exactly what the minister is saying. Be constructive in your criticism. How can a meter be N75 million when a kilometre is N7.5 billion? Imagine you posted this with bold font! Just to spread lies! A meter is N7.5 million not N75 million
Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway Costs N7.5billion Per Kilometer - Dave Umahi by delzbaba(m): 10:16am On Oct 14, 2025
to be sincere this is an almost accurate estimate of the cost of such a road, non-engineers will not understand.

The perosn doing it is better than Julisu Berger that does not mean the price is still not outrageous
Hi-tecb better than Julius Berger? Cmon tell us the history of Hi-tecb and the landmark construction they have undertook so far...

Please there's no comparison between Julius Berger and this company, is it in terms of equipment or expertise, what aspect exactly can they be measured alongside Julius Berger?

Way too much, the sand is gotten from the beach, federal government should have ways to source affordable materials for it's projects, given the vast resources we have, quarries for granites and boulders, limestone etc.

Almost 700 million dollar well it seems okay
How did you arrived at this figure? I think you should calculate again..

The total figure for that project is over ₦15trillion , so do the calculation once again..

Ofunaofu:
But this same professor in practice once told us that it was 4 billion per kilometer. Today, it's 7.5 billion per kilometer. Tomorrow, it will be 10 billion per kilometer. This is exactly what we mean when we say this is a money laundering project, a coastal highway of fraud.

In fact, this project will go down as the biggest fraud ever committed by any Nigerian government in history.

Note: HITECH is owned by Tinubu's Lebanese ally
That was the initial figure he gave us publicly, today again he has shifted the figure from the initial ₦4B to ₦7.5B in less than one year...

I knew it will come to this, it's difficult to sustain a lie when pressed so hard..

It's just unfortunate that our media has become so docile that they cannot ask questions to these thieving politicians, those that have the courage to ask questions are either bullied or locked up in sell ,

Even US wont spend this much per kilometer

Nobody is talking about the environmental impact of this coastal road, same as nobody talked about the sandfilling of bar beach for the emergence of Eko Atlantic, which has caused floodings along the coastal areas of the South. The effects of all that sandfilling is why there is massive floodings on Lagos Island now.

This coastal highway will disrupt the natural ecosystem along the coast and lead to years of pain and possible displacement of many communities.

COREN is supposed to arrest this man for ever brandishing himself as an "engineer."

In essence, Rufai Oseni was always right after all.

All those that were referring to Rufai as a small boy because their APC paid them 30k with one free laptop, I hope they will return to ask for forgiveness?
I think COREN NSE etc should come up and access this project
Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway Costs N7.5billion Per Kilometer - Dave Umahi by lagbaja(m): 11:11am On Oct 14, 2025
The N7.5B average cost is inclusive of two overhead bridges, one at Eleko junction The other at Marwa junction.

(For cost comparison, The Loko-Owetto bridge is about 1.3Km and costs N54Billion)

Assuming the 2 bridges costs about N200Billion The cost per km of the road will come down to about N5Billion Naira.
