That is why Nigeria can never be great..just one section and a state parading as the economic of Nigeria...2moro some bastards will say,leave lagos and go to ur state...Nigeria as a whole need to be decentralised..

Thanks Buhari. PETER OBI will take it from here.

It's not a federal project.

And most Federal projects are directed towards Abuja.

When Obi wins next year, Lagos will stop cornering the developments that is meant for the SE and SS which are the economic backbones of Nigeria. Onitsha deserves a port more than lagos. Calabar? Onne? Greedy people will cry next year

Alajiki:


Peter Obi, the shoemaker? Tufiakwa! Mbanu!

Na person wey work go take the glory. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is coming to finish what he started 20 years ago.

We don't want any bloody usurper. Let him go create Onitsha Deep Seaport

ufotty2001:
Is it only Lagos we have in Nigeria... 50% of federal project goes to Lagos.. why?

SmartPolician:
Good news. They should start operations immediately.

I hope trucks wouldn't have to come from mainland through Lekki - Ajah Expressway to access the seaport because that corridor will be turned into another Apapa nightmare.

The highly politicized Forth Mainland Bridge will be critical at this time. FG should assist LASG to actualize that long-awaited project.

dapadawee:

Trucks will follow epe exit to sagamu express way from there you can access any part of Nigeria. Everything is worked out already by brilliant tinubu. Our only fear is Muslim muslim ticket. But tinubu is a blessing to Nigeria and the truth is that atiku and obi knows that tinubu is better than both of them put together

This morning, we received His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR as he commissioned one of our legacy projects, the 14-kilometre Ijebu-Ode-Mojoda-Epe Road in Ogun State.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode built the Lagos end of the Epe-Ijebu Expressway and Governor Dapo Abiodun built the Ogun end. The Ogun end of the expressway will be tolled. Trucks from the new Lekki Industrial Area will use this expressway (along with other expressways) to move goods from Lekki to the hinterland of Nigeria.

naptu2:


That is precisely the point. It is not the only major road leading to the Lekki Free Trade Zone. In fact, most of the goods from the Free Trade Zone will not use that road. See my previous reply above and watch out for the articles that I will post.

Barges to evacuate containers from ports to Epe soon

By Sulaimon Salau

Arrangements have been concluded to extend the use of barges to evacuate containers from the ports beyond Ikorodu to Epe soon.To this end, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), with APM Capital to adopt barges as part of the plans to relief importers of the Apapa gridlock.

The Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority Hadiza Bala Usman, who confirmed this during a meeting with a team from AP Moller Capital, said the problem of Apapa access road seems intractable because of decade long decadence which was caused by multiplicity of problems.

Usman recalled that NPA had made several efforts including contributing ₦1.8 billion to rehabilitate the road at a time as well also coming up with “call up system”, which would soon be upgraded to be electronically operated.She assured that NPA would continue to consult with stakeholders across all levels, since the provision of infrastructure is crucial for sustainable ports operations.

Senior Investment Advisor of APM Capital, Fleming Dalgaard, assured on the construction of a jetty and truck park to facilitate the movement of cargo with barges from the port, adding that they would provide technical capital, competence experience, financial capacity and other required resources. Dalgaard commended openness of NPA adding that such transparency and efficiency were part of the quality that excite them to come forward for signing the agreement.

The agreement stipulated that: “NPA in realization of the fact that the provision of infrastructure is crucial for sustainable operation of ports has continued to pursue a programme of infrastructural investments.“The NPA and APMC entered discussions and have agreed to find a lasting solution to the traffic situation in and around the ports, there is a need to provide the level of required infrastructure.

“APMC has indicated their interest, technical capacity, competence, experience, financial capacity and other required resources to execute or cause the project required resources to execute or cause the project required for the attainment of item two above.

“The project that are currently being contemplated include the construction of a jetty and truck park to facilitate the movement of cargo by barge from the ports. APMC understands that some associates investments like construction of truck holding bays maybe required to support the option in item four above.

“APMC intends to commit financial and human resources to further explore these solutions even though the exact nature of infrastructure to be provided may differ from the option currently being envisage in the course of further studies and time spent on the project”.

Random: I saw this barge moving containers on the Lagos Lagoon a week ago. Like 6 containers - which is the equivalent of 6 trucks (or 3, if 40ft) taken off the roads no?

ADBA3005:



This is an eye opener for all the Yoruba omo ales that are supporting Peter Obi: Obi's emergence, simply because of the primordial hatred the ungrateful Igbos have towards the Yorubas, will lead to underdevelopment in the South West!

wwwihy:


No... this is the new expanded concrete road linking Epe to Ijebu-Ode to Lagos-Benin Expressway

The Ijebu- Epe Road doesn't even lead directly to the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

If you want to dispute that go and check your map and post the screenshot here.

All traffic will have to pass through the Lekki Epe expressway to get to Eleko then the Lekki FTZ

Theunbothered:


This your first paragraph is just a dirty lie since the Ijebu- Epe Road doesn't even lead directly to the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

If you want to dispute that go and check your map and post the screenshot here.

All traffic will have to pass through the Lekki Epe expressway to get to Eleko then the Lekki FTZ


You talked about roads in Ikorodu and Ondo state that are being constructed meaning the roads aren't passable but you want us to think they are, because everyone on nairaland is an olodo apparently.

Don't worry when those of us who ply the Lekki-Epe expressway talk about traffic you will send us articles that will cut the 3 hour driving time down to 30 minutes.

Which Island Axis ? I just discovered that you are ignoramus of the topic of discussion...

Lagos Island?
Victoria Island?
Ikoyi?
Lekki Peninsula?
Ajah?
Ibeju-Lekki?
Akodo-Eleko-Lekki?
Epe?

Where do you know and where is Lekki Free Trade Zone located?

You better stop disgracing yourself on public forum.
