If fuel is 5k a liter,if your economy is productive enough it will absolve it,do you want tinubu to bring back subsidy so you can keep driving 3,4,5 landcruisers at a time or so your reach can keep their 4 car convoys at the expense of govt,we have turned that corner bruv,if you are productive enough,fuel prices wouldn't be your problem as you mark up will conveniently cover that

The argument is not about demanding subsidy. It is about preventing concentrated market power from turning essential energy inputs into a squeeze point on society. Transport fuels sit at the base of nearly every productive layer, aviation, logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, so distortions ripple outward like a domino into the economy.

Even in a fully liberalized pricing system, the missing piece is strong guardrails: transparent pricing mechanisms, anti-gouging enforcement during supply shocks, and regulatory oversight that prevents a small group of actors from capturing outsized margins at the expense of consumers and downstream industries.

The food we eat comes from the north. Unless you are referring to beverages and snacks that are mainly produced in the west. Nobody is currently complaining about any difficulty to move goods between the west and east. So why do we need to spend billions on the coastal highway?

Is Trillion not billion, if it is billion, they won't dare construct that road because all of them have become billionaires trying to catch up with trillioners....

xxxx999jon:
same you will still say use the money for power project for road.. Humans.

It depends on the necessity of the road. If it's very vital to the survival of our country then it should be built. But the existing roads between Lagos and Calabar are serving adequately so we don't need any coastal highway

Pootle:
those criticzing this road when its completed dont ply the road in protest

People critized your lord and master fuel subsidy removal, why are you not selling fuel to them at 200/litter?
You will stop them from using the road because they criticized it but force them to keep buying fuel at 1,400 despise the fact that they also criticized subsidy removal, make una continue.

Goods get moved from one part of the country to the other. The different parts of the nation produces something needed in other parts of the country. Have you read about cases of trailers falling on roads and killing people in their cars? So, I think roads are necessary, but shouldnt be the main priority.

Stable electricity will definitely improve so many lives, especially the youths. It should be given prompt attention just like you said.

Really? Really Cheeeeiii , tribalism is more dangerous than HIV AIDS.....imagine the nonsense this one is saying?

Please can you count how many luxury fleet of cars that none is below #24million that follow the President ?

So an ordinary citizen should be deprived of good living ? Una wickedness knows no bounds ...

What do you mean by investiment in human development?

I guess he is referring to stomach infrastructure. He said people are hungry and dying.

so you say but people on that corridor are saying otherwise. It's important to their wọn existence.

which one is ur own problem?

Nefort:
Why didn't Tinubu use the money for this project to improve power supply at least? Nigerians never complained of lack of access roads connecting Calabar and Lagos and he decided to sink billions into this unimportant project. Tinubu left the problems that Nigerians complain about to solve the one that Nigerians didn't complain about. Tinubu hasn't even solved at least one major problem facing Nigeria.

Progress Update on the Calabar Section of Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway

bros if you are involved in the video production of the YouTube channel...try as much as you can in incorporate Aerial footage to you production

as well...this whole 9 min video just boring to watch...was just skipping throughout.

In 3 years, see the magnitude of super impactful road projects that PBAT has set on concrete motion.....by 2031.....wailers will be breathless i can guarantee you.....

ryloy:
These are all roads currently been done by this Tinubu administration, not all the roads are new some of these roads seen here on the map are pre-existing roads that are been rehabilitated into concrete roads, so what he's saying is valid but that doesn’t mean new roads like Lagos-calabar are waste of money.

Since you are angry that Tinubu is constructing roads, please don't use the roads when completed

The coastal road will only benefit nigerians that live within the axis where the road is located which might not even be up to 5% of the nigerian population so it shouldn't have been a priority for a govt whose population has been ranked as the poorest in the whole world. No sense in plunging a whooping $19b into such a coastal road project when majority of the suffering nigerian masses don't even have electricity to power their small businesses and industries.

Progress Update on the Calabar Section of Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway

30km done, the rest will be completed when you vote them for 2nd term. Scammers.

Only those destined to be extreme poverty paupers forever will prioritise their meagre income and even borrow money to buy new things instead of repairing and maintaining what they already have.

Do you see why we blacks are very poor and will remain so, IF we don’t get our priorities right

By the way, how many pictures of these incomplete road projects are you using to pay for expensive petrol because Tinubu has failed to crash the price as he promised in January 2023 when it was just N185?

Why are you not interested in sounding normal like a normal human being

How is the rubbish you wrote above correlated with this thread

Indeed, lots are wrong with some of you Obidients thinking

Imagine ur reasoning.
I thought you are intelligent. I am just disappointed.

So any body that criticized u or anything related to Tinubu is Obidient.

Chai! Reasoning

Since he has done power supply, are you not concerned that he has failed to deliver N300/$1 in the short term despite saving billions of dollars from subsidy removal and borrowing $3.3 billion through opaque SPV future oil revenues, from Afreximbank at an alarming 11.85% arranged by Elumelu’s UBA? The loan was specifically to defend the Naira.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.

Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.

The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.

While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.

He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.

The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.

Na bitterness oh. Concern for improvement from enemies of progress kwo.

This isnt bitterness but caution from concerned individuals. Can he complete that highway in 20 years at such snail speed?
What about the financial burden?

Just to duplicate a road ooooo. It is well mr helinues.

Terrorists , bandits and kidnappers will like it because it generates revenue to them and to the Government.....
One man's food is another man's Nonsense, wish We can have more sane minds in Nigeria ....

So a sane mind are those who will open their eyes to vote a man without reasonable record as a former governor except tying down state revenue to start ogogoro business while doctors go on strike for 13 months

If you vote a man with such record be informed that there will be no project in Nigeria cos he will use revenue to start ogogoro business in Bangladesh

for the first time I see the reason this project is a must. the company handling the project belongs to the president himself (as said by people).

this was what people said during governor Ibikunle Amosu tenure as governor of Ogun State. my issue with hi-tech is the only road awarded them in Abeokuta (during Amosus administration) is no longer motorable. this happened shortly after they finished construction.

ArcSEMPECJ:
Power has been deregulated the same way subsidy was removed on the first day of mounting a stage in eagle square without making consultations , without having ministers , without having Special advicers etc ?

If you go and ask the Governors now , they will laugh and tell you where is the money ? Where are the plans laid down before deregulation down to Governors or you just push away responsibilities and because you have majority of APC Governors , the truth will be hidden ....

This Government has achieved only two things as their policies ......
1. Propaganda
2. Lies...

Your comment shows maybe you've not been following mainstream news to get a genuine information regarding the deregulation of the power sector. In fact, there are few States that sign agreement with private sector to generate electricity for. 2 state in East and may be 2 in the West.

Na bitterness oh. Concern for improvement from enemies of progress kwo.

Reminds me of a group that I belonged to in the east( my secondary school) and a project that even I can complete in 6 months ( bungalow) since the money was ready. I introduced Mr Spyder880 our Nairaland contractor to them as a contractor na so them shout me down as ewu Yoruba. The fact that I suggested it must mean I don’t trust them see how them they reason.

6 years later they were giving update hardly anything done. These were directors of civil service, bank executives and board members and captains of industry self. Now they come like a lot of you complaining when they themselves are incompetent.

and he can't even solve this one either, this road is estimated to be 750km, no proof he has done 70km in total , that road project was established to embezzlement

We need distance covered and not video of sections?

Did anybody stop you from going there to check and make your own video? All they do is to criticize.

Let there be advertorial on this development and progress on major television stations .. it is a very good way to show us what the Govt has done so far..The govt is working and very soon the people will feel the impact .

He is constructing a road that is not necessary. I would have supported it if it was necessary and vital to our national progress.
