Winning fair and square, or seizing power has no correlation with how forked things are

I have a hunch that if it was Obi who initiated this project, these same critic will be singing praises of how governance should be

but na tinubu dey power let's stick to that

Umahi said: “Let me leave out the infrastructure along the corridor. Let me just concentrate on the tolls and I put 50,000 vehicles as an average passage on these toll points per day,” Umahi said on the breakfast show.

“I put N3,000 as an average cost. N3,000 because the cars could be like N1,500, and the big trucks could be like N5,000. “So, we put an average. In 15 years, you make back the money,” he said, dismissing calls that the cost budgeted for the road was high.

How can you be arguing the importance of 3mb when we are even hoping for a 4MB because of the traffic (number of people moving in Lagos).

Has anybody ever come out to say the roads from Lagos to warri is not enough for the number of buses that passes it?

Also please which one of you was alive or old enough to have conversations during the construction of 3mb to know what people were saying.
A man in his mid 30s and another in his late 40s who was probably a child when it was announced.

Plus again, Nigeria was a very very rich country when we commenced those projects which is a major point that's being jumped over

Roads that are budgeted for in the annual budget.

You can check it out in National Budget. It's available online.

"Let me leave out the infrastructure along the corridor. Let me just concentrate on the tolls and I put 50,000 vehicles as an average passage on these toll points per day.

“I put ₦3,000 as an average cost. ₦3,000 because the cars could be like ₦1,500, and the big trucks could be like ₦5,000. “So, we put an average. In 15 years, you make back the money.

“At every point of tolling, we also have toll station where we have a kind of relief activities — restaurants, filling stations, parking lots, and so on and so forth. So, people will now have confidence. In these sections, we intend to put CCTV all through."

- David Umahi [HM for Works]

Tinubu dey power and has revived a project that was ignored for over 50yrs that will open up 7 coastal states and villages that were ignored for long

User09:


Ancillary revenue @ bolded. Ok.

Again, this is more of the concern of the funding parties not the FG. Maybe he's just speaking on the economic viability.

Anyway, let them provide more detailed info, lets scrutinize

User09:


Umahi is being all over the place. He shouldnt be speaking both as an investor and a regulator at the same time.

I can point out some flaws in his statement. For instance what's to say the entire 50k vehicles will go all the way, which is why I was asking earlier about the tolling strategy .

User09:


In situations like this, there's usually a bid bond in place by those bidding before any contractor is given approval/wins the bid. This is usually a major requirement

Also, I suppose there will be placeholders (competitors that didn't win) that can step in if that happens.

Spy360:

Key word is priority.
PRIORITY

popizaino attention needed here

popizaino:


If the budget were used for these roads,i don't think we would be having this discussions.

popizaino:


.

What happened to the FG roads that's always in the yearly budget but hasn't been attended to in a decade?

raumdeuter:


What should be the priority that is not getting attention currently?

Ballzproblem2:
tinubu dey power fuel is selling #900 , dollar currently hovering around #1300 , cost of living rising everyday.

But sure let me praise him for project that has no benefit for the common man presently.

let me praise him on empty stomach while dreaming of road 👍

GrammarNazi1:

I guess there won't be only one toll?

In the Umahi explanation that I quoted, he mentioned "toll points".

Again, there will be more than 1 toll point.

That may put the average of 50k vehicles per day in perspective.

Spy360:

Power, road rehabilitation, education, high cost of living etc

Plus we both know that the project will not be completed. That project money that is already overblown could fix nearly all existing bad federal roads.

The project ain't just dropped from heaven suddenly, its well planned and communicated to the masses.

Its propaganda as usual to our noisy guys until Landmark Owner started emotional blackmailing on Twitter [X]. Most of them wailing here ain't doing so coz they genuinely care, rather because FG is reclaiming the Shoreline which rightfully belong to them along the corridor, and which Landmark is partially affected.

Note; Landmark Building ain't demolished, rather an extension to the beach like the pool and berbecue joint.

Road is getting attention, Power is getting attention, Education is getting attention

You know the road will not be completed like you know of 2nd Niger bridge

Umahi confirmed there was no bid before they awarded the contract. When pressed, he said it's because the company has shown competence handling similar projects in the past

Since we all know the real reason the company was given the contract, I won't be surprised they didn't follow through with any bid bond.

And like I said earlier, I once read that the only reason FG mobilised the contractors was because they couldn't secure funding and time was of essence.

Na uncommon man dey use road abi?

The main reason for removing subsidy was to free money for developmental projects like this and this was the reason given by all for subsidy removal including 3 presidential candidates

If stomach empty then fill it abi na Tinubu go open kitchen to cook for you

raumdeuter:

Like its said, "We all know what we are doing"

This is MamiChula Beach owned by Bolaji Ariyo. The Investment was lost along the Corridor, though he has been compensated, but no noise like Landmark.

Spy360:

What attention are they getting please educate me.

On X today, videos show trucks and trailers summersaulting and crashing every day.

We are now made to pay more for darkness in the new electricity tariffs, over 90% scored below 200 in this year's jamb.

No portable water for villages, no security, etc
