that is rigid pavement,the best form of pavement. it takes at least 40years before this type of pavement collapse.

40 what? You must be dreaming, that road will not last more than one year before it will begin to fail, there are so many engineering errors.
Their intention is good but the way they are going about it is wrong.

The Apapa-Wharf road done with same method have started failing because of the reaction of the cement surface with dirts/gabbage poured on the road and acidic rain.

The Engineers are either ignorant of their mistake or they are trying to cut cost.

Similar type of road constructed in Lagos and some swampy South South states by Julius Berger over 30yrs ago are still standing strong despite abuse by it's users.

Which Dangote? Did you read the post at all?

Dangote collected the work, but passed it on to Hitech, Tinubu's construction company fronted for him by Lebanese. It's all arrangee.

Same thing for Oshodi-Murtala Muhammed Int Airport Road. Lagos State under Ambode arm twisted Fashola that Lagos will execute it, then simply passed it on to Hitech. No public tender, no competitive pricing.

The value of both sweetheart contracts is hidden from the public

Must everything be conspiracy theories or Tinubu this and Tinubu that?

Who cares who is or not doing the job as long as they do a good job.

Construction is privately funded and if Dangote feels like awarding contract or giving their money to Hitech, it's their business and their money.

That's exactly the reason why cement is being used, instead of the regular asphalt.

Asphalt is meant to go on top of the cement, cement will react to the element and fail.

Stop meandering with gambit distinctions, there's a clear cut difference between the conventional Asphalt roads and Concrete. That's the point here!

Lies, that road road won't last more than three years, go and check Apapa-Wharf road constructed by Dangote with same materials and come back and edit your post.
Apapa-Wharf road constructed by same contractor with same materials is already having cracks, bumps and small pockets of potholes.

The ways roads are done in Nigeria are the main reason wh have craap roads in Nigeria.I was saying teh best way to creat a long lasting road is by putting concrete and cement together strengthened with roads and covered with asphalt, this is the way to go. This is how roads are built around the world!. You put sand on ground compressed and lay bare asphalt on it and think it won't wash away really?

Seen and it's beautiful.

Dear Nigerians, I'm sorry to burder you but I seriously need your assistance. This is my final semester in school and things are really pressing on me. Currently, I'm working on my research project which requires money and I still have other issues to attend to financially before I bow out.

I'm searching for a job but unable to find one yet. If you have a business (product or service) that needs social media marketing, I can perfectly handle that for you. Goal is to get some money and attend to my academic needs. If that is the case, please do contact me with the number below.

Secondly, if you are led by the spirit to help me today irrespective of whether you know me or not or whether we relate or not, please still contact me via the number below.

Zero eight one, seven seven zero three nine six nine zero.

Thanks and God bless each and everyone of you.
