Konza + Tatu vs Alaro city

Alaro City is an integrated, mixed-use city planned for over 2,000 hectares in the Lekki Free Zone. Over 45 companies are moving or expanding their businesses to Alaro City. These companies include Ariel Foods, Starium (BUA Group), HMD Africa, Sana Industries, Loatsad, Kenol, Mantrac (Caterpillar), Omar Gardens and ASB Valiant. The first residential phase of 576 apartments is being developed by Universal Homes. The show homes are now available for viewings.

Alaro City has areas for offices, logistics and warehousing, homes, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, entertainment and 150 hectares of parks and open spaces.

Located in the North West Quadrant of the Lekki Free Zone, Alaro City is ideally situated on the Lekki-Epe Expressway for ease of transportation to Lagos or towards the rest of Nigeria.

Alaro City is adjacent to the future Lagos international airport and close to the region’s largest deep sea port and major Nigerian and international companies.

Alaro City holds full land title with Certificate of Occupancy

Can I get a link or something?

it's called talent city. I think it's inside lekki free trade zone.

Talent city was announced just a week after d announcement of ocean city, Lagos.

Each time I pass this locations I can tell that this project is right on course. So massive but very little noise from our side unlike that overhype flyover somewhere in Kenya.

Are we now safe to say, our rail system would be the longest elevated systems in Africa , since the system is 37km long , elevated and even longer than Nairobi highway

It will have eight train stations from Agbado to Oyingbo, to be fully operational in the last quarter of the Year 2022.

Red Line was to raise mass transportation capacity in the state by complementing the Blue Line that extends from Okokomaiko to Marina, and which is at 78 per cent completion at present, vowed to ensure that the Blue Line and the Red Line were completed to the memory of the late Governor Lateef Kayode Jakande.

“The State’s Strategic Transport Master Plan, which encompasses a number of projects that are germane to achieving our vision for a Greater Lagos, is founded on imperatives that seek to increase transport choices for all users and make the transit system integrated, attractive, convenient, affordable and accessible,” he said.

It will have six overpasses at strategic level crossing points along the rail corridor to facilitate smooth operations of the Red Line and eliminate interactions between the rail system, vehicular and pedestrian traffic, adding that the overpasses would provide grade-separated crossings that would enhance safety for the rail system and road users.

“The unique characteristics of the Red Line is its integration with the Ikeja Bus Terminal, Oshodi- Abule Egba Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane, the future Orange Line, which goes from Ikeja to Agbowa, and the General Aviation Terminal One of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport through a skywalk.

“Another unique feature of the Red Line is that all the stations have elevated concourses with either at grade island or side platforms for easy boarding and alighting of passengers. The Red Line also integrates with our Bus Terminals at Oyingbo, Yaba, Oshodi, Ikeja and Iju, giving modal options to our people in their daily commute, either for business or leisure

Nice one from Senegal, West Africans are really doing well when it comes to infrastructural development

That's how you get respected. A GDP alone won't command respect.
But a day when naija reaches the level of developments which SA has,no one will be here arguing with you folks

It doesn’t change the fact that Nigeria is ten times more developed than any country in Subshara Africa save South Africa.

Not even close! Okadamen take several seats with your agriculture. For your own sake end this farming noise.

gallivant:


According to almost every statistics out there Kenya is wealthier than Tanzania. That's the bottom line my great neighbor.

I know, yes,statistically, Kenya is wealthier than Tz.
But can we go on ground to compare? Can we use turkana or kibera as a case study?

I thought you are more than that? You have agriculture sector way bigger than Brazil, surely you should be in Brazilian leagues,why are you busy trying to prove youselves

No! I am not trying to prove anything. I am just reminding you.

Tanzania is too way below Nigeria in all rectification. Don’t take it personal. I am just stating the facts on ground.

Tanzania is not diversified. You should join other 'gold economies' in West Africa and create a proper Zoopublic. You share everything in common...

In GDP numbers yes,naija is way above TZ.
Naija has 500+b while TZ has 65b .Almost 1 ninth.

But on ground? Can naija have 9 times of what TZ has?

Half of Nigerians live in slums -UN
October 18, 2011
By Chris Ochayi

The Programme Manager of the United Nations Habitat in Nigeria, Professor Johnson Bade Falade has disclosed that a total of 71 million Nigerians are currently living in slums.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/10/half-of-nigerians-live-in-slums-un/

GASSPPP!? Like us he actually assessed the real per capita GDP to half of accepted levels. P

rofessor Falade who noted that a general overview of the existing housing situation painted a bleak and gloomy picture that is not well for Nigeria, added, that “the total population of Nigeria of 140 million is rapidly urbanising, with 49.8 per cent urban population while those living in rural are 50.2 per cent, and the majority of the people are not well housed”.

The statistics according to him showed that, low figure for GDP per capital income of $1,154 and a high percent of the population that is poor, of which 54 per cent is said to be the population figure living below one dollar per day.

Yes,a decade ago but 3 yrs after this you entered recession and still haven't escaped despite praying for oil price recovery and your economy is yet to diversify resembling Burundi or Niger so that figure is still accurate.

Look at that CV!

After completing his bachelor's degree in economics, Falae joined the civil service as the assistant secretary of the National Manpower Board. He later became a principal assistant secretary of the board. In 1971, he was transferred to the Central Planning office and by 1975, he was a director at the planning office. During his stint at the planning office, the department was actively involved producing the third national development plan for the country and conducting a revision exercise after a change in government.[6] In 1977, Falae was appointed permanent secretary (Economic dept), Cabinet office.

In 1981, he became the Managing Director of Nigerian Merchant Bank (NMB), formerly United Dominion Trust. In Falae's tenure at the bank, the firm increased its authorized and lending capital.[6]

Falae returned to public service in 1986 when he was appointed Secretary to the Government. By then, he believed Nigeria needed economic re-structuring. In 1985, prior to his appointment, the military sought the public opinion of an IMF economic structuring proposal as a condition for external credit from the fund. The popular opinion was to reject the proposal. The administration then came up with Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP). SAP was a proposal to diversify export from a crude oil dependent regime, ensure fiscal and balance of payments equilibrium and non-inflationary growth.[8] The mechanisms to be implemented in order to achieve these objectives were the devaluation of the naira, reduction of petroleum products subsidies and trade liberalization. During his time in office, Falae became a vocal defender of SAP even when it was becoming unpopular with the masses, earning him the moniker "Mr. SAP" amongst ordinary Nigerians.[9]

He left the post of Secretary to the Government and served as the Federal Minister of Finance in 1990[10] in the military regime of Ibrahim Babangida.[11] He was relieved from office in August 1990. Thereafter, he joined the democratic transition programme.

Political career
Falae's foray into politics started during the Third Republic. Babangida had banned 'old breed' politicians, who were mostly people who had held elective office in the past such as Bola Ige and Lateef Jakande. Falae soon became the candidate of choice for followers of Awolowo and some progressives within the Social Democratic Party.[12] He contested for the post but lost to Shehu Musa Yar'Adua before the elections were cancelled. He later threw his support and organization towards actualizing the presidential ambition of MKO Abiola.

In the mid 1990s, following the cancellation of the June 12, 1993 and the coming to power of a new military government, Falae became a prominent member of the National Democratic Coalition during the quest for the restoration of democracy in Nigeria. Falae was jailed by the military government of Sani Abacha, but was released in June 1998 after Abacha's death. He unsuccessfully contested the 1999 Nigerian presidential elections on the joint platform of the Alliance for Democracy and the All People's Party against Olusegun Obasanjo, the presidential candidate for the People's Democratic Party.[13] A Yoruba Christian, he swept the southwest, the Yoruba heartland, but proved unable to attract significant support elsewhere. Since then the Oloye Falae has lived in semi-retirement as a large scale farmer in Ago Abo, Akure. He was given the national honour of Commander of the Federal Republic in 2008. As of 2008, Falae is the pro tem Chairman of the Democratic Peoples Alliance, a progressive party allied with the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

On the 21st of September, 2015, Chief Olu Falae was kidnapped on his farm on his 77th birthday, with the kidnappers demanding 100 million Naira ($500,000) as a ransom for his release.[14][15] He was ultimately released on the 24th of September, 2015, after the payment of the ransom and returned to his home in Akure.[16][17]

Edit: Naijjans, by now we know more than you about Naij, believe that.

I thought you are more than that? You have agriculture sector way bigger than Brazil, surely you should be in Brazilian leagues,why are you busy trying to prove youselves

The Nigerian Agric sector is almost the size of Brazil in terms of GDP ( and rightfully so) but there is no data on ground that states that it is bigger than that of Brazil.
Nigerians did not force the world to accept their GDP stats. If the IMF sees it as false, they would definitely bring their input to it and it would not be the first time they would have done so.

Your mistake is that for you, GDP is based on what infrastructure a country has on ground. This may be true to some extent but not 100% true. Equatorial Guinea for instance have an active oil sector and because of this they have one of the highest GDP per capita in the continent but the country is not even as developed as Uganda or Zimbabwe. The truth is, their oil sector is working and the size of their economy is great but their leaders have not invested in infrastructure.

Boss, konza can never be completed, Konza were announced on June 10, 2008, as part of Vision 2030 and nothing tangible has been recorded, Nigeria's recently embarked new city tagged "Alaro city" has more infrastructures and building than Konza and Tatu cities combined
here is an extract from one Kenya's best writer and reporter

1 JUNE 2021 • NAIROBI, KENYA
". On either side of the road, a cacophony of ranches, mile after mile. Most of these are white-owned or formerly white-owned, the hinterland of an enduring colonial presence. Cows graze forlornly in the distance. I miss the turn to Konza, as there is nothing to suggest a city here. Only once I’ve driven past it do I recognize the complex where the Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) is located. It is the only building for kilometers around taller than one story .

At the main gate, there are security measures: a look into the car, a mysterious mirror thrust aggressively underneath its chassis, a demand for identification, and the temperature checks and dabs of sanitizer that have become a permanent part of security ritual. Then I drive up to the KoTDA headquarters. All around are workers in hard hats, trucks filled with sand, excavators, and the other normal detritus of construction sites. This is the headquarters of the so-called Silicon Savannah By the looks of the Konza Technopolis Development Authority, there’s little to indicate that 13 years have gone by since the launch of what was first trumpeted by the Kenyan government in 2008 as being the future “best-planned” city in Africa. With promises of mass job creation and investors “trooping in,” Konza City’s
groundbreaking was meant to be a source of national pride and a marker of progress — a sign that Kenya was on the cutting edge of global tech. "

Well that’s just great.I believe it will succeed since it will be tied to the economic benefits of that axis.

Alaro is by Tatu city - and most of stuff happening there are from kenyan companies. Konza has been slow - no doubt - because it still a gov project - but it's unique city - a technopolis - not just any other city.
