New York 's Manhattan is an island nd Brooklyn and Queens ar part of a larger long island nd dey all have subway tunnels

azpekuliar:
The Jakande government had already awarded a contract for a subway system before Buhari’s coup truncated it. Matter of fact Buhari’s regime still went ahead to pay 70% of the contract sum as penalty for cancelling the contract!
Did the initiators of the project and the contractors not know back in 1982 that the “water table is too low for underground tunnels”?

we are not advanced enough for an underground tunnel pls, common drainage issues we can't fix, is underground tunnel you want to do and do you know how many buildings will have to go because of the tunnels, you can go build tunnels in a developing city but not in a too densely, poor drainage system city like Lagos

While I want to agree with you, a tunnel is currently being built under densely populated London. You should see the extent they go to to protect buildings above ground though.
