Not to worry, very Soon when you want to drive from Benin to ASABA, you will follow the new ultra modern coastal highway built for 7.5b per kilometer and per lane x3 lanes. (even the cost hard for the minister to pronounce am because him know say na barawo tins) ie according to umayi, apc and the Oga they said built Lagos.

Once the Coastal road is complete, there will be less traffic on some of these roads which will make repair work easier and quicker . A road like this will go from main / primary link road to alternate / secondary route connection.
But some, one way thinkers and myopic people will tell you not to construct a new road untill all the existing one are fixed.
How?
The last time I checked, Government is continuity. You don't start such an ambitious project like the coastal highway without doing the ones you meet on ground
That's why we keep having incomplete and abandon projects all over the place.

You guys don't factor in the fact that the road is divided into segments. The Benin /Asaba axis would have been completed before the whole section of the road is done. Whichever portion of the road is completed can be put into use. Also, if you read my first post well, I did not say Govt should abandon existing roads and only concentrate on the new roads. I just highlighted the benefits of the new one. Yes, Govt is a continuum. I am sure in 100 years to come, some roads will still need repair or new one constructed. But many of our people are one way in their thinking. This thing is not mutually exclusive. I.e you build new road and then abandon all old /existing roads. Both can happen simultaneously. I am sure there are existing roads in the country that are currently being rehabilitated. All the roads cannot be done at the same time. And you cannot also say you have to wait untill you repair all the existing roads before you build a new one. I hope it is clear now.

Umahi and Tinubu are building coastal highway to heaven. Even the roads that link people to his village no concern Umahi. He loves Tinubu more than he loves other Nigerians and he is taking his time building concrete roads where he deems necessary.

A viral video has surfaced showing the Benin–Asaba Expressway in a devastating condition after hours of heavy rainfall. The once-busy highway has now turned into a muddy, flooded nightmare, with deep potholes, stranded vehicles, and frustrated commuters battling to move through the chaos.

Drivers and passengers could be seen wading through knee-deep water as trucks and cars got stuck for hours, causing major traffic gridlock. Many residents have taken to social media to lament the poor state of federal roads and the lack of proper drainage systems in the area.

The video has since sparked outrage, with citizens calling on both the Edo and Delta State governments, as well as the Federal Ministry of Works, to take immediate action and fix the collapsing road before it becomes completely impassable.

🎥 Watch the full clip to see how terrible the situation has become — and hear what stranded motorists had to say.
I thought they said once you join the rulling party your state will turn to Dubai

Sad, sad! The appropriate authorities should be proactive and jump into action. This road should be repaired/renovated ASAP!

And they're building a coastal road that cost 7.5bn per kilometer and they're getting a round of applause from Nigerians.

And the idiots who drive daily on this bad roads are happily paying high taxes to repay the huge loans taken to build the coastal road that will never be completed nor benefit them.

I think Nigeria deserves the leaders it gets .

Umahi and FG are nor interested.

They are more interested in the Coastal Highway to fraud
But wait oo do you people think before you talk at all? I remember during Fashola and Ambode even federal roads these two ex governor applied to fed ministry to allow them fix some federal bad road within Lagos and were allowed and they fixed them so why can't the Edo and Delta govetnor do same, why everything Fed govt?

Everything you blame Tinubu even our brother Gej did not fix the road to his village till he left power what the hell are you all talking? Pls stop it, tell your govetnor to sit up.

See how you Dey think like small Pikin?

How many years will it take to complete the so called costal road?

What will be the state of these already damaged roads by then before attention shifts to them if it ever will?

It seems one of the requirements to be a tinubu supporter is to have the ability to think upside down. 🙃

Just listen to yourself.
They should wait until a new road is constructed before an old one is fixed, also.

Okay, citizens and businesses along that axis should stop paying taxes until the road is fixed.

Whatever is good for the crazy goose is okay for the determined gander.

Failed citizens.

So people that want to go from Asaba to Benin or Lagos to Enugu will use the coastal road? Receive sense in Jesus name. Amen.

The clueless governor is more concerned about his commissioners wearing Tinubu caps than anything else.

What are you saying. Do you how many projects that buhari left undone. Go and check. Why didn't Tinubu complete those ones first before commencing on a legacy project like the coastal highway?
I am not saying he should not do the highway, what am saying is complete the ones you meet before you start the highway project. You neva finish your eba, you wan start to dey chop rice, how na? 😧

No, it's not clear. Does it make sense you have 7 uncompleted buildings and you still want to add another one making 8?
No rational or irrational human being will do that. Does Nigeria have the financial resources to undergo building new ones and repairing old roads? We don't. Therefore, why start what you can't finish? If you didn't build any new roads, you won't die, so what gives? This has nothing to do with one dimensional thinking. It has to do with rationality and scale of preference. And its clear this administration lacks both. It's not well in the well

Those regions are not part of Nigeria... They are minority federal roads that's why the fed govt doesn't care about them
