An Aerial View Of Phase 1 Of The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway (Video) (28646 Views)
SocialJustice: 12:14pm On Jun 03 |
Avedonn:The coastal road is a game-changer, not a waste. It connects 9 states to Lagos ports, unlocking billions in agriculture, oil, and tourism. The current roads are deadly, slow, and full of kidnappers—costing businesses ₦4B daily in delays. This project creates 200,000+ jobs and boosts big industries like Dangote’s refinery. Fixing old roads every few years wastes ₦150B, while this modern highway lasts 50+ years. Without it, Nigeria loses trade to rivals like Cameroon. Bottom line: The road isn’t just pavement—it’s jobs, safety, and Nigeria’s future as West Africa’s top economy. Delaying it means getting left behind. 1 Like |

This guys for just do this thing 3 lanes on each side. Lagos has high traffic and wider roads may help to a little extent

Avedonn: I said it since oooo. How much does it cost to dredge the River Niger all the way to lokoja and how much is the so called highway? Imagine the difference dredging the River Niger would have made. Even collaborate with the state government and build ports all around the river line. It’d have been more beneficial than this glorified main road. As for those shouting toll gates, factor the cost not the landing or clearing payments per container. QED 2 Likes 1 Share |

Only a few folks from one tiny section of Nigeria are complaining as usual. Let South-South breath. Roads full North, viable or not and this one is viable.

30 Kilometers in 2 years, therefore, Tinubu will complete 60 Kilometers out of the over 730 kilometers in his 4-year tenure Shame Shame Shame 1 Like |

Avedonn: These are same initiative by some past leaders and till date we didn't see the impact and visible implementation sir and yet they have took the budget from the deral purse and till date no improvement. But with this high way it will be there forever and it's visible enough for everyone to see even in 100years time the credit will still goes to Tinubu .. Kudos to APC istration for that bro 🍷 and No doubt 🧐 |

CommonSense1967: I wouldn't give you a knowing you have not done the calculation I told you to do, whether it was 47km out of 700 + km done in a year or 4km, I don't think am far away from statistical measures of possibilities.... The logistics involved alone for the President to come and commission the 47km which is just a section is enough to do a 4km of it ... And by the way, do we have to be inviting the President for every section completed ![]() Finally, can you tell me the revenue generated so far from the first section commissioned by the President ![]() ![]() You may think you know all about the road, but the end s will tell you they prefer the road they know than this one government is constructing as there are little or no security / viable structures in the hinterland areas were this road will .... No man goes naming all his Children before they are born, is one after another ......i guess that's what your team is doing, well done anyway as you said my points does not concern the shallow thinkers .... |

Tayorshd87: We are yet to come out the fuel Subsidy scam from the Government and the devastating effects it is yielding, and all that can come to the mind of the President and his entourage is to start a road construction that will cost #33 trillion Naira ![]() While the federal roads are yet to be fixed ![]() How can you now convince a driver or car owner to follow a road that is in the outskirts of his town when the one inside the town is not safe ![]() There are tooooooooooooo many important issues facing Nigeria that this idea of a Road construction project should be coming in a second tenure not in his first tenure that is full of irregularities and propaganda .. The Three refineries that we all jubiliated and clapped that they are working now, have all gone into maintenance again... What of the discos, electricity ![]() Things are very costly , so costly that it is thrice the former price... And you are busy calling on the former Presidents who couldn't start the road construction....because they have the interest of the masses at heart... |

I don't know if I should say this is a total waste of resources, or a plan to cover up the lootings that has been done. 30 kilometers out of 700 kilometers, not even 30%.. SHAME OO!! Anyways, what we see is what we get and what we get is what we see 🤐

Avedonn: I don’t understand you guys. All the things you mentioned are being done already, I don’t see how this road has prevented the government from running its other affairs. You guys are strange. With minds like yours, 3rd mainland bridge would never have existed because “we already have other roads”. 🤦♂️ |

Isn't it supposed to be a ten lane highway? Money allocated for ten lanes.... scaled down to six no refund... but here I'm seeing four only. But yet some are shouting good development. Wike should've been in charge of this project.

ArcSEMPECJ: My brother you are right 👍 Infact I really understand what is going on... But the answer is that the removal of subsidy reset the economy.. Look at this.. If SUBSIDY wasn't a problem in Nigeria. 1. Jonathan won't say he wants to remove it 2. Bihari won't say he wants to remove it 3. Even obi said he will remove it 4. Atikue said it too he must remove it . 5. Tinubu finally remove . What's am trying to say here is that if any of them remove it before Tinubu we would have been facing all this high traffic and cost of items before Tinubu came in power 🤔.. Are you think what what am thinking?? because the result will be high in fuel price and the masses will start paying for what they use.. Go to US and UK Canada etc 🤔 Electricity Water Hospital Road toll gate Tax 😡 You pay heavily for it and that's why their country is a top notch. But here in Nigeria the citizens have a different mentality that we are not ready to PAY for any but we want to be like the Canada and UK etc 🤔 All because WE WANT BASIC AMENITIES TO BE COMPLATELY FREE .even goto Ghana you will realize as at today Nigeria is still the best country to live ... Our PROBLEM IS THAT WE BELIEVE LIGHT, WATER , SCHOOL, ROAD TOLL GATE, TAX FREE AND WE DONT WANT TO PAY FOR ANYTHING BUT WE NEED TOTAL DEVELOPMENT 🤔 NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD YOU WILL SEE THAT |
