Yes. Even longer.

Calgary ring road in Alberta Canada: Planning started in the 1970s. First phase completed in 2009. All construction, 5 phases in total, finally completed in 2024. It's only 101km. Gulped $4Billion.

This road Lagos to calabar is 700km. Luckily, Nigeria does not have environmental bottlenecks and lots of government red tapes.

ValarDoharis:
You know nothing! Jon snow 😂

Buhari rigged Tinubu in using Mahmmud!

lexy2014:


this is the reason it took that long:

"The ring road was not intended to be built when these plans were being developed, and was viewed as something that would be needed in a 30-year time-frame at earliest."

Tdotbluejays1:

First phase construction completed in 2009 and all remaining 4 phases finally completed by 2023. That's still 14 years and not counting how long from when construction started and ended on the 1st phase. Only 101km. That's about 1 hour drive in the absence of traffic.

While I wasn't part of this project, I have two friends and colleagues that were part of it.

lexy2014:


I am glad you said it is in phases. Maybe you didnt understand the English. pls read again...

"The ring road was not intended to be built when these plans were being developed, and was viewed as something that would be needed in a 30-year time-frame at earliest."

Tdotbluejays1:

I said in phases right from my original post. I will be damned if I dont understand English with my masters in engineering and experience in managing millions of dollars in budget of electrical distribution and transmission projects in Canada.

Even if you planned for 30 years, that still puts you in the year 2000 or early 2000 from 1970.

In addition, common sense in project management dictates that you would have a solid plan in place before construction starts in a waterfall project. Mr man, by 2009, the plans were already solidified. Let's even ignore phase 1 of the project. If construction started in 2009, it still took from 2009 - 2023 to complete remaining 4 phases. I don't know why you are getting worked up on something in which you are not a stakeholder.

lexy2014:


oga, your masters in whatever and all your grammar does not concern me. I didnt ask you for any of those.

"The ring road was not intended to be built when these plans were being developed, and was viewed as something that would be needed in a 30-year time-frame at earliest."

what is the meaning of "at earliest"?

Road construction are not agile projects where you change your plans at will when construction is ongoing.

I don't know why you are getting worked up on completed project in which you are not a stakeholder.

Sigh. Can't be wasting my time with a troll that has zero idea of capital projects and how it's managed.

Do you know these people have already started campaigning for 2027 election

Ofunaofu:
It's now certain that another regime will finish this project

Regime of who?

Tinubu was outside government, yet we defeated you. That useless Buhari together with his kindergarten political dogs that form his kitchen cabinet teamed up to fight Tinubu. Godwin Emefielelele the cursed flat headed fool changed currency and also refused to pay petroleum marketers just to make the people vote against Tinubu's party. The headless mob launched multiple propaganda and lies yet, he humiliated you all. Is it now that he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed and Unarmed Forces that you want to pull a stunt? Una go cry tire

ValarDoharis:
Tinubu did zero major project in Lagos!

Freshtruth:
Tell us how much is your profit from this project? Do we look like we give a fuvk?

Biodun556:


700 km road? I think it is not too much

Bluntemperor:


When looking at your contributions is full of persimism,you never see anything good in Tinubu's govt,just because of election loss!
This is not elections Campaign!

Gistmedia10:
In a recent statement, Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has unveiled ambitious plans for the completion of the 700-kilometer Lagos-Calabar Coastal Expressway. Under the administration of President Tinubu, Umahi projects that this crucial infrastructure endeavor will be finalized within a timeframe of "8 years."

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Expressway, a monumental project aimed at enhancing connectivity and economic development across the nation, is set to become a vital artery linking regions from the bustling commercial hub of Lagos to the serene coastal landscapes of Calabar.

It's certain that tinubu will get a second term

naija4life247:
Shey una hear?

The road will be completed in 8 years under Emilokan Asiwaju Tinubu. So you know that Tinubu is spending 8 years. The 2027 election is just a formality.

So you children of hate and anger should go and prepare to face Kashim Shettima the Kanuri Wonder Boy in 2031
