True talk. Even money used in managing Nigeria image abroad after Igbos used drug trafficking and human trafficking to spoil our image could have built the road.

If the project took 4 years then, the present government may not be doing badly with the current rehabilitation considering 2 things..
1. The Nigerian economy was in much better shape with the foreign exchange rate of the Naira to the Pound Sterling being at par.
2. It was a project undertaken on virgin land as compared to the continuous diversion of traffic and its attendant challenges.

Looking at Shehu Yaradua here, one would not know that the man was amongst the biggest mass-murderers and coup plotter Nigeria ever produced. He was literally Murtala Mohammed's right hand man and when Mohammed was assassinated, Yar'adua was double promoted to become a Brigadier and Chief of General Staff. He spent the rest of his years in power amassing wealth and became one of the richest men in the North when he retired. He was CEO of Hamza Holdings. But Karma has a way of coming back to bite all evil men. He died crying of pain in Abakiliki Prisons.

Damn. Rest on my friend.
At the age he commissioned the project as a vice President is the age the useless youths of nowadays use in discussing sex positions, big ass big breast, drugs, Yahoo, alcohol, Lee min hoo, watching TV series, Relationship talk, fixing yeye nails and eye umbrella, bets and sort. How would my mate betroth power to you when you're useless and doesn't know what you want? That's why my mate keep riding you like horse! If you don't take the future into your hands now, your posterity will curse you. 2023 is around the corner, don't form a THIRD FORCE, Dont use your head. Continue to sell your birth right...
My friend here, Seun. Had he indulge himself in those useless acts, will he have time to think outside box in creating nairaland? Keep blaming Government, DON'T USE YOUR HEAD

NIGERIA: VICE PRESIDENT BRIGADIER SHEHU MUSA YAR'ADUA OPENS NEW EXPRESSWAY LINKING LAGOS TO IBADAN.

Friday, August 18th 1978.

Footage of Brigadier Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, the Chief of Staff Supreme Headquarters, opening the expressway that linked Lagos, then the federal capital city of Nigeria with Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State.

Reuters Text:

Work on the highway began four years ago. It was hoped to be finished a year ago, but because of the scale of the undertaking, the contracts were extended. It replaces roads which carried the heaviest traffic in the country. Brigadier Shehu Musa Yar'Adua praised the project.

The Brigadier then formally opened the new highway, the first rural expressway in the country.

The road cost a total of 170 million naira (nearly 266 million dollars). And to recover at least part of that cost, and to pay for its upkeep, road users will have to pay a toll. Even at the opening ceremony, Brigadier Shehu Yar'Adua led the way in paying for the service the new expressway offers."

Transcript of Brigadier Yar'Adua's remarks:

"The expressway which we are about to open is one of the finest of its type by any standard. Your convenience, comfort and safety have all been incorporated in the highest standard of its design and construction. It does seem however that the better the road, the greater the death toll. The reported deaths on highways rose from 4,537 in 1973 to 8,000 in 1977, giving us a daily average of about 22 deaths. We all know that these are caused by excessive speeding, lack of proper maintenance of vehicles, drunkenness and a complete disregard for highway rules and regulations. I hereby appeal to all road users, and in particular, motorists, to obey highway rules and regulations, to have more respect for their lives and show care and consideration for others. This country has paid very substantially for your comfort and safety on this expressway so please do not make it a one-way ticket to death."
