Human rights lawyer Femi Falana questions the ₦15 trillion earmarked for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway amid changes to its proposed route, urging Nigerians to demand accountability and defend every citizen’s right to vote against electoral violence and ethnic discrimination.

He also condemned electoral violence, political thuggery, and ethnic discrimination, urging Nigerians to stand together across party and ethnic lines to defend everyone’s right to vote and ensure their votes count.

“COASTAL road has now become LAND road….what of the N15trillion earmarked for that road?

Costal highway of fraud and deceit

A conduit pipe for looting

The N15 trillion naira earmarked for this road has gone into private pocket.

I don't blame this government, I blame the Nigerians we warned against this government before the 2023 presidential election ..

When we argued that it was more sensible to repair the existing inland road linking Lagos with Calabar, Tinubu Data Boyz called us unpatriotic elements & enemies of Nigeria.

Now we have been vindicated. Those data Boyz claiming to be patriotic, are actually the real enemies of Nigeria.

funny people,you believe a man that agbero union took all the money in his bullion vans is here to give you account of anything.he must recover all the money those touts took from his vans and make gain

Some have been praying for the road project to fail....it gives them Joy.

Use your head. Nothing like prayers - the project was clearly a white elephant project.

There was zero economic sense in spending trillions on a coastal highway, instead of maintaining existing alternative roads.
So it was bound to fail, no need for prayers.

Criminals in low and high places hijacking the country.

it will fail.....it doesn't make sense at all. The existing ones need serious attention right now.

That's the question worth asking. The APC led government keeps showing it has no regard for its supporters. How can anyone defend this?

15 trillion was budgeted for this road. What drove that valuation in the first place?

Government indicates desire to get a project done, contractors do site, terrain and landscape evaluation and come up with a cost. Government then selects a bid from the different bids from different companies that were submitted. But that wasn't done for this project. There was no EIA and no competitive bidding.

Government simply awarded this project to Hitech - a company with no pedigree in road construction. The company is assumed to have done assessment of the entire terrain and then submitted it's cost evaluation based on the depth of its findings. If the federal government is announcing a change of terrain now, then how competent was Hitec as a company? What pedigree did that company have to execute Nigeria's biggest road project in the first place?

The president drove the allocation of this significant project to his friend. A Lebanese. They have a relationship going back decades. Competence was not a factor in consideration. This is how we got to this point. The government is stepping in to correct the errors of a private firm. An incompetent one at that.

This is shameful and has validated the concerns of everyone from the beginning.

To APC apologists, ROAD NA ROAD! 🤣🤣🤣

This official bandits took $11B outta coffers easily.
Umahi is explaining because he's not escaping.

Tinubu wants to use it to play politics in 2027. He knows it’s impossible, but some gullible people like you believed him

I sincerely hope you don't use this head to cross the road.

15trillion are you serious, na wa for this government, pure looting and slap to Nigerians, looting without conscience.

"We didn't fight for this rickety democracy.." - Femi Falana (SAN).

If this doesn't speak to you, then kindly check yourself into the nearest psychia.. let them check you of that tribalistic egocentrism that has blocked your brain..

The coastal road was all planned this way from the beginning.. Lagos Coastline, Eko Atlantic was the target and they have achieved that.. did you see that they even commissioned it after completion of that part?!.. dey play..

APC was never designed for collective prosperity.

Falana has not being truthful as he was during GEJ's time. Tinubu is building coastal road for his empire, suffocating Nigerians with bad policies.

TRIBALISM DESTROYS THE REASONING


EVEN AFTER WE SHOW U THAT COASTAL ROAD IS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO LANDSCAPE, CREEKS AND WETLANDS


NOW U ARE CRYING SEVERAL YEARS LATER.



TINUBU IS OPENING ROUTE FOR EKO ATLANTI AND LAGOS REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT PLUS LOOT.

Meanwhile, the said road is a dead trap to road users

The above mentioned guys looks in real life

TBH i dont know how lithuimite, seunmsg and richtaiwo hold on to a job that drain mental health, how do you rationalize the policies summersault & sharp u turn you get from this govt

These particular coastal road generated so much public outcry

1. Bidding in isolation

2. A project of that magnitude no EIA how?? then umahi told a journalist he no hear english, insulted rufai oseni

I am a phd holder, very arrogant, mr phd how is going inland now tantamount to coastal road.

You will think Umahi & tinubu are using there family trust fund to build that road ... 10% tolerance to accountability

You guys have been shouting no more refinery maintenance, gives us new refinery, now Jagaban heard your cry and decide to give you brand new roads, instead of sinking funds on some roads that have dilapidated to the extent that maintenance makes no economic sense, yet you are still complaining.

Yarimo burob seunmsg helinues madridguy Richtaiwo hachenoire they'll tell you you're obidients for asking for accountability....

THE AIM OF THE FAKE COASTAL ROAD HAS BEEN ACHIEVED.

THE WHOLE IDEA WAS TO BUILD A COASTAL HIGHWAY FROM LAGOS TO OSUN. AFTER-ALL EVERY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS IN THIS TINUBU ADMINISTRATION IS DONE IN LAGOS.

IF YOU THINK THAT TINUBU HAS EVER CONSIDERED DOING A COASTAL ROAD FROM CALABAR THROUGH NIGER-DELTA, THEN I HAVE A BRIDGE TO SELL.


THROUGHOUT APC FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION, TELL ME JUST ONE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROJECT IN THE WHOLE OF NIGER-DELTA

I thought Tunde was a comedian/singer

I knew all along that this coastal road stuff na scamm. Now they have successfully siphon the Treasury thru this project.
Original correct looting at its best !!!!!

make una leave roads and collect your bread here

be breadfull

;Dlol. Coastal road has turned into Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

The Main Plans From Day One is For The Eko Atlantic Corridor And Connect Ogun Sea port to Lagos And They Have Achieved Their Aim

October 13, 2026, you still never get sense. Governance is not by prayer.
