Because it is a special funded project category just like the coastal highway

What happened to the Lagos - Ibadan--Express Roads-that OBJ awarded to the Lawyer - that did not moved beyond Berger- Bus stop in Lagos?
-What happened to the $16-Billion Power Project, during Baba time?
I beg,make Una go rest!
Jealousy and Envy is gradually creeping in!
For what they failed to do during their time,Tinubu has started it .

Obasanjo should tell us how he wasted $16 Billion on power we never saw. If Nigeria was like China, Obj would be in prison by now.

You are free to throw figures around, but nobody has built more power stations in the history of Nigeria than Olusegun Obasanjo. Obasanjo is not a saint, but no president since 1999 has made more impact than that man.

But oil, getting from Niger Delta and been shared by all Nigeria is not a Waste?

Any amount spend on Niger Delta is never a Waste

You're, making case for, rail line from Lagos to Benin to Onisha to PH. But costal road crossing Niger Delta is a waste 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣



As long as it's possible. Any amount spend on Niger Delta is a wonderful idea.



Coastal highway is for the benefit of Lagos State, not for the benefit of the Niger delta region. Your comment seems like from the most SofistiWretched.

You are from the SW region, posing as if Tinubu is doing good for the Niger delta through his Lagos-Calabar coastal highway. Dressing like Angels to carry out propaganda of falsehood, that's what you people are good for.

It is Visionary and not Wasteful

Nigeria with a population of over 200million
needs to open up new Towns, Areas and cities for population to move to which is exactly what the Coastal Railway and highway will do

Baba Obasanjo, I don't agree with you on this . I am a person that have ed and ire you all these years . Sir, as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria when you constructed the dualised road from Kano to Maiduguri that don't have any traffic, was that not wasteful and corrupt?

However, that has been one of the most wasteful roads in Nigeria. For 30 minutes.or mre, there might be one or two vehicles that one will see plying in some parts of the roads.

What is this one saying nonsense, o have plied the road once, if not for the road many people would have stopped going to maiduguri because going through jos-bauch-gombe became too risky at a point.

Some of you would come here and be saying nonsense

Among all the former heads of state, who among them really turned Nigeria around? Who among them made us the citizen first? They are all bunch of failures, if any one of them was successful we wouldn’t be in this mess we are in right now. So, them not ing this government or ing this government shouldn’t be our concern. I pray they all get old and meet their creator so they can all give s on how they’ve mismanaged Nigerians life.

Lol....says a man who could repaired Lagos Ibadan express way untill Baba Buhari came to rescue.

You are wrong.
The contract for the repair and widening of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway was awarded and started by the istration of Goodluck Jonathan. The project was going on but Buhari delayed it for almost 2 years before they continued from where it stopped under Jonathan.

CodeTemplar:
total power budget/allocation for eight years under OBJ was less than $8 B so where did $16 B come out from?

You are a baby if you are asking this question.
You weren't an adult when Ndudi Elumelu was heading public hearing on the Loan taken and shared by peedeepee enroute 2007.
Understandably, children can't fathom that enormity.
When world Bank listed the debt burden being serviced by Nigeria, $16Billion for Darkness is part of it.

People quoting and ing OBJ are funny to me. Everything others after him have done is "wasteful and corrupt". Never his own NIPP scheme that saw $26 billion disappear into thin air with not 1 watt added to our national grid.

This is ssme OBJ that Otedola more or less implicated as behind fuel subsidy scamming, with his boys, while it is Tinubu of all President since 1999, to include OBJ, who has ended the monumentally "wasteful and corrupt" fuuel subsidy scam that was, since our independence, the biggest and most destructive anti-development scam perpetrated against Nigeria and Nigerians.

As I said at the start, anyone quoting OBJ, especially over his "corruption" and "waste" attack against others, is just as lacking in integrity and uprightness as our former President is. Tinubu is nowhere near the mate of OBJ, or any other past President for that matter, in of Presidents wanting the best for Nigerians and being ready to act bravely and secure what is best for them like subsidy removal, regional development commissions, State policing, long term mortgage schemes with low interest, etc, etc.

It is a shame the educated class in Nigeria, supposedly the teachers and opinion leaders of the less educated and illiterate amongst us, cannot eschew emotions, sentiments, prejudice and tribalism to discern what truly matter.

The words of OBJ? God forbid. I will rather credit the utterances of Bello Turji with more integrity than those of OBJ who never led by example while President but assumes he has the divine right to lecture all Presidents that have come after him.
