warri, PH, uyo, yenagoa, benin are far from the Atlantic ocean

It's a coastal highway; has nothing to do with the State Capitals or major cities.

It would traverse coastal towns and hopefully attract investments and development to these towns over time.

Ofodirinwa:


is the road intended to connect humans, or connect swamps with ocean? Are these the humans that will be driving on the road?
Don't roads lead to places where commercial activities are happening.

The map I'm even showing you makes it look as if some of the places this road crosses has solid land. It is a road across floodplains and mud.

After all, why aren't those cities themselves closer to the atlantic other than knowing their environment.?

But that coastal Niger delta is porous (hence this road will need hundreds of bridges). Believe it or not, those communities access or are reasonable close to the atlantic. because that region is a grouping of muddy uninhabited islands and flood plains



What this road MIGHT do is block those place's access to the atlantic. Because Nigeria builds lowe idiotic bridges that ships cannot traverse, so it will effectively make Lagos the only coastal city in Nigeria

LOVEALAIGBO:


The thought of this coastal road blocking ship access for ports in Delta, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom states never crossed my mind! Any bridge as low as that new 2nd Niger bridge would sound the death knell for seaports in the aforementioned states!

adjective. located on or near or bordering on a coast. “coastal marshes” “coastal waters”

It still touches Lagos the city, that is the main point. I'm not saying capitals should be connected, Im saying why is a Lagos Calabar road by passing 90% of the commercial centers of the states it bypasses.

Mind you the road will take land from indigenes
the road will more than likely block the seaports of the established cities
the road will be more easy to access as a Lagosian than as a Warri, Benin, PH or Aba man

Dijita:


I am not familiar to the Delta and beyond side but I very familiar with Ogun and some part of Ondo. Your assertion is false that Lagos will only be the coastal road.

OP, it didn't pass through Ikeja, the capital of Lagos State

Ofodirinwa:


Most igbos oppose the idea because they know that is the grand play. Sometimes when we're talking who want us to be their enemy will get ginger.

But unbeknown to me, it is also blocking every major Niger Delta port and excluding every Niger Delta city.

Slytiger:

I am trying to understand the point of this post. Is it coastal road passing through Akure and Abeokuta?

Ofodirinwa:


are Akure and Abeokuta coastal?

Ofodirinwa:


You have to know the geopgrahy of the places this road will cross and know why humans don't live there. It is mud and water, and is undergoes extreme flooding when it rains. this of Makoko in Lagos but with less people

You'd be a phool to think that a Govt that can't maintain existing roads would build a coastal road across swamps in ND regions . Once Tinubu completes SW roads, regional govt would be approved and that's it. He's smart
