This road reconstruction was not conceived by Tinubu administration
They didn’t award the contract
Tinubu government have not spend one kobo on this road yet taking credit

This is an MTN road done with a tax credit
Conceived and awarded by Buhari administration

Don’t get why Tinubu wants credit

Where have you been all these while?

Personally, I have missed all those economic postulations and theories of yours that must have given you Balon D'ior at your village market square.

I guess I do not have to remind you of them.

Or should I give you the one you said about roads and infrastructure?
You are welcome back.

What do you mean by MTN conceived? Is it not the Govt that started the Tax for Roads, and do you know what that means --- MTN is using future taxes to build roads. Money that ought to have gone to the Govt for sharing. This is a Federal Project or they told you MTN is building this for free? If PBAT wanted to cancel it, he could have. FEC approved in 2022, PBAT came in 2023. He saw it to completion and if you look at it very well, the cement construction of that road is ongoing. Hate would not allow you to see like Dave Umahi said. May God give you wisdom beyond hate.

Was it not MTN that renovated this road? The government might have done finishing touches to the renovation but MTN conceived and started it.

So when buhari start am... Why e no finish am?
Isn't government all about continuity
What is wrong if one government starts something and another completes it??
Why e dey pain una if something good happen under tinubu
Are you guys so desperate to see him fail?

AMINDA:
You Tinubu's supporters from the SW are insufferable. Didn't you all sing Buhari’s praises until his last day in office only to start insulting him thereafter? Buhari awarded this road project in question via the MTN tax credit scheme. An initiative that Tinubu has now stopped. While Buhari was constructing the train to Niger, he was also constructing the second Niger bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway ( a perfectly fine road which Tinubu just awarded a contract for its reconstruction) and several other projects. As far as verifiable and tangible projects go, Tinubu is still far behind Buhari even though he has since borrowed far more loans.

Pain.... Is that you in flesh?

Openyamind111:
I refused to follow your packaged dunce and be brainwashed like most of you the Gen Zs.. if we have better Presidential Candidates. We will follow them no this set of failed and incompetent, delusional politicians..

Who is more failed, more incompetent and more delusional than the Lagos landlord who steals trillions annually instead of employing well paid professionals in the civil service to make basic services and utilities available to everyone?

The balablu, bulaba propaganda progreThief who is so greedy that stealing higher revenue target achieved in August is not enough, he has to steal subsidy savings and even loans that are more that what PDP presidents borrowed in 16 years of widespread prosperity, peace, security, cheap petrol, cheap dollars etc!

Who is worse than Tinubu in our politics? None.

Thank you, they feel we are dumb.

Please take a look at the pool he opened on this thread.

Name one road APC started n finished in south east

..........................after 11 years of promising change and renewed hope with more debts than ever.

To read more about the Federal Government's agreements with the financier, check out the THISDAYLIVE report, or read up on the The Guardian Nigeria News coverage regarding project timelines and compliance.

mrvitalis:
Do u have issue with basic English comprehension?

What exactly is tinubu role in this project

Continuity. APC has done more projects in SE than PDP

Blakjewelry:
How una dey reason sef abi na dementia dey worry una? The entire east-west road was dualized under pdp, the entire enugu to port Harcourt. Under pdp ferma was active though they are not perfect but at least they carry out regular maintainace to ensure the roads not go totally bad.

Infact that particular road you talking about was even dualized during the pdp government and was left to rot under the APC government same thing they did was Benin warri road.

You can continue peddling falsehood,so a particular road project in South - East could not be done with for sixteen years from Obasanjo to Goodluck despite billions of dollars set aside for the project, just a single project. Shame on you all. My question still remains, name four road projects done by the federal government under pdp in South -east?

Who told you MTN can build roads in Nigeria?

seunowa:
Which one did pdp do? At least one can point to five to seven projects done by APC in the south -east

Oga it's GEJ that awarded that contract

Queseda:
This is total transformation. I wonder why things like this gets hate in return rather than commendation

You guys should slow down with the lies. MTN paid for the reconstruction of that road in a tax credit program in Buhari’s govt. This has nothing to do with Tinubu.

[quote author=PDPdestroyer post=140060780]See before and after pictures of Enugu-Onitsha expressway.

For many years this was the fate of Ndigbo before President Tinubu 👇😳🙆

This Enugu-Onitsha Road was impassable but today the story has change.

Tinubu has in many ways proven himself as the best President ever. pic.twitter.com/xK9yecKIa0

Ayofe you are still here again spreading lies. This project is an MTN project which was part of a tax credit scheme in Buhari’s administration. Make una fear God oooooo

Flangelo12:
I heard MTN go around the world building roads.

Some of these people are just lacking in intelligence or fundamentally driven by bitterness or hatred. Whose money is the differed tax that MTN used to construct the road? Instead of giving credit to the Buhari administration who conceived the idea of asking cash rich mega corporations to help build roads and recover their monies by reducing their future taxes, they attack the govt.

Compare and contrast:

A road costs say 100biilion 10 years ago, the govt doesn’t have the cash.

Govt a: we do t have the money so let’s save the small money we have in the bank.

Govt b: hey you MTN, Dangote, BUA etc, you people have plenty cash, help us build this road at N100b and we will pay you back by deducting it from your taxes over 10 years plus interest.

Today that road costs N400-500b to build.

The citizens of Govt a have no road and the money he supposedly “saved” has been chopped by the next administration and the road he was saving to build is now 400b! That’s why govt A has nothing to campaign on except insults…..show workings for 8 yrs in office……nothing to show!

Govt b has built a road that would have cost 400b today for N100b by reducing its tax income by a mere N10-15b a year.

According to them the man who saved in an inflationary environment is better that the man who found a way to build a badly needed road.

The way you people think is one of the biggest problem we have in this country.

That is why your state will never! And no state can ever be lik Lagos.

So all the tax credit was from Buhari administration or also tinubu administration?
At least APV started it and APC finished it right?
Give the credit to APC.

Was shocked to see that. This site is really going low and it's shameful to see such nonsense.

Is the Government doing the East a favor or what?

Seun sanction the mod that made that trash and insulting poll.

LithiumBa3:
Seun I don't know why u allow this poll, which one is which infrastructure will be beneficiary to South East

Good road or Baby factory.... North that produces Almajiri what will u say about it

Enugu Onitsha federal road na MTN do am. MTN is so nice, so Tinubu government will not pay every naira spent.
Listen oga, in 2022, the Federal Executive Council approved MTN Nigeria to take over the completion and rehabilitation of the expressway under the Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme (Executive Order 7). Under this scheme, companies finance eligible federal road projects and recover the cost through future tax credits. This is an order by fPMB, agreed to and monitored by the FG as a means of funding, just like other borrowings and means of funding projects. If FG via ministry and minister for works paused or canceled it, or didn't monitor and follow through, nothing will happen and the road will not be completed. It seems you've not seen politicians that came into power and started erasing and canceling everything their successor wanted to do or did. No worry, in fact, let's thank FIFA or Trump for the road, e no stop wetin you dread for January.

Oga it was MTN that reconstructed the road as part of a tax credit program

Nobody said anything conceived in that person's response. BAT didn't see to any completion the project was already ongoing and the tax credit was already codified

Akpakomiza2:
Continuity. APC has done more projects in SE than PDP

Name the projects

Dennisochampa:
So when buhari start am... Why e no finish am?
Isn't government all about continuity
What is wrong if one government starts something and another completes it??
Why e dey pain una if something good happen under tinubu
Are you guys so desperate to see him fail?

Has tinubu finished it ? Has he even done 20%

mrvitalis:
Has tinubu finished it ? Has he even done 20%

At least e Don deh do am abi??
Anywhere he stop. The next person continue....

That's called continuity in government.....

No be must say werin one start e must finish am

tollyboy5:
So Mr vitalis who should we give credit to? We should give credit to? buhari that kick start the initiative or to tinubu that brought buhari to power?
Or we should thank mtn for building our road because of it’s charity?
Or we should give credit to tinubu government that maintained continuity of the project?


Be grateful and don’t always be an ingrate it will help you in life.


Since you belong to the block of obedient that says we don’t need infrastructure, so I don’t see how you’re going to appreciate this project.

At least complete the project you haven’t even done 30% u are talking of credit

Adakintroy:
Abeg go sit down. You know all this details yet you no know why the road de like that till tinubu regime

If someone do well just praise if he do yeye critic. Life is that simple. Not all but many things are just in black and white.i

Road is still like that less than 20km have been done

yemre:
I've always known that some people must still have mouth diarrhea over this.

Buhari awarded the road, why did he not complete it in his 8 years. Even if he did, is he not an APC president?

Has tinubu completed the projects ?

MTN project in honour of Dr Pascal Dozie (Diamond Bank and MTN Chair)!
The road project is largely unfinished, we are still using only one lane of the express and large portions remain untarred.

Propaganda always fails in the factual information.

Irony1:
Oga it was MTN that reconstructed the road as part of a tax credit program
