The biggest waste of public fund is the coastal highway project by the most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria

Wailing wailer and obirodent miscreant spotted. You will wail for long loser!
You must drag your master and tormentor to all your miseries and woes.

They should ask the likes of Hope Uzodinma for number 6. The companies of those involved should refund whatever they took from the FG when in the pdp for the dredging contract.

Yet heads are not rolling
No one is held accountable for mismanaged public funds in this country!

Chinese will still come for their money someday soon.
Then they will remember it is Nigeria debt.

The abandoned multimillion USD Ikere Gorge Dam in Oyo State that was initiated by the former President Shehu Shagari government in 1982 to provide hydroelectricity and clean water for agricultural irrigation and consumption for the Old Oyo State, Ogun State, Lagos State and generally all contiguous states should have been on that video lists of failed projects due to lack of sustainable funding all these years! The expensive imported equipment like turbines that were brought in from Germany were NEVER used and hence have become damaged.

The current goverment in Nigeria at the Federal level must finish this project that has embarrassingly NOT been completed since 1982 when I was younger in age... A whopping 42 years ago! A focus on other long abandoned projects around Nigeria would be better instead of initiating new replicas of existing abandoned projects. NO doubt, the very corrupt and ruthless military dictatorships in Nigeria from the Ibrahim Babangida years contributed a lot to these abandoned projects, but then, the ambitious Tinapa Resort and the Abuja CCTV projects (this rapidly fell into disuse after installation) were initiated by civilian governments under the PDP State and Federal administrations.

I must commend former President Buhari's go ernment though for identifying some abandoned projects located especially in the North and even completing and upgrading all the disused and abandoned national silos in all the regions of Nigeria.

We were made to think that a lack of continuity in governance was the main cause of project abandonment but in reality, politicians' repulsiveness towards evolution is the main cause of this. We can never get it right.

Country of wasters and Educated morons

I no see Eko Atlantic for the list.

Hater spotted. Go and see the outstanding of Eko Atlantic. It has almost be sold out. Tinubu is not called jagaban for nothing. Since 1999, nobody can't point to a huge project in Lagos been abandoned. Lagos is working. Does projects mentioned are all of pdp era, has either president or governor.

We should continue thinking our problem is non-Nigerians and not our lootocrats in executive, judicial, legislative and other arms of government. Shoutouts to the ones in private business and the banks. These heinous acts wouldn't have been possible without your collaboration.

Correct, and honestly I am guilty, we need to start owning up, its not just the govt, even me, if u see d way I bastardize my car...

lmao...I thank God for u,u have started owning up

None was done under APC's watch and some people will still open their gutter mouth to call APC corrupt

Ikere HyroDam that could have saved Lagos and Ogun from annual floods

COST: £400B

400 billion euro is not logical maybe you meant million either way maybe it would helped mitigated flooding especially in that long bridge axis at the boundary of Lagos and ogun.

Nigeria is cursed, the blood of the innocent children murder by the Nigerian people will never let Nigeria become a developed country

Hmmm, I think the current government should abandon other planned projects and finish up these ones, so that they can also bring in money while they continue with their planned ones in the future; Nigeria is great in wealth, and could be greater if only we can manage all these our available and wasting resources well now and in the nearest future...

DevilsEqual:


They all look like a good initiative. In fact, each of them has its own unique economic importance and would have been a very good project

Op, abeg, find way send this article go meet Tinubu, not sure there's proper handing over, a smooth one, enough to make the incoming ministry-in-charge aware of what and what should be taken a look at

FG should look for a way to get funds to complete them all

Common sense especially the ajaokuta steel factory am a drop out and even I know that if we had gotten the steel factory at about when zik and the rest planned we would be producing steel, we got many of our dams running we would be producing electricity we got our railway linking different part of strategic parts of the country together at about when because am sure at the time we had one of the Best in the world.

You won't travel out of your remote village to see things yourself.

The only mistake British make na to mix the South with North.

At least if it had ended with West better progress for dey

Nobody force anybody we once lived as kings and queens and those have subject's and slaves nobody forced anyone into slavery and nobody forced the slaves to remain slaves

Free will choices and decisions make us.

It's a card game a chess game king queen knight pawns tools like horses.

Fela said it best and I quote "' The West calls us illegitimate not practing true democracy but same whites still do business with us"


They say we blacks are foolish but they have been taking our oil our gold our people many in jails our minerals.

You said wasted or funds they stole by using the project as pretence

Brotherly, you’re the one that needs to travel out of your cave and see that life is more advance than every rubbish you see in Nigeria. A project that was started in 2009 and up till now Eko Atlantic has not more than 10 structures and you’re saying shit.

Bro, I don’t hate anyone and I’m not speaking out of hate. I guess you lack exposure if not you will see mega projects that take countries not more than 3 years to complete.

Ajaokuta steel (Bottomless Pit)

The 18-storey five-star Tower Hotel project in Bayelsa State aimed to attract tourists and provide high-end accommodations.
The project cost initially put at 8 billion naira had to be put on hold after the contractor demanded an upward review. This is after 6 billion naira had been released.
Number 9. Abuja Millennium Tower.
Amount Spent: 34 billion naira.

The Millennium Tower and Cultural Centre project in Abuja began construction in 2006. At 170 meters, it is the tallest structure in Abuja. Despite being topped out in 2014, the project remains incomplete. The FCT Minister once promised to finish the project, but costs have ballooned from 50 billion naira to over 200 billion naira, with 34 billion naira already spent.

Number 8: Tinapa Resort.
Amount Spent: $350 Million.

The Tinapa Resort in Cross River State, designed to be a shopping and trading paradise, has fallen short of its potential. Initiated in 2005, the project was meant to transform 80,000 square meters of retail space into a bustling economic hub. However, despite $340 million spent, the resort remains largely unoccupied, a stark contrast to the vibrant center it was intended to be. This project, a legacy of former Governor Donald Duke, now lies in waste.

Buildings, lights and resort type infrastructure will not attract tourists to Nigeria in meaningful numbers. Nigeria's strengths is culture. Nigeria needs to invest in this area to maximise her visitors attracting potential. Resorts, fancy buildings, and spectacular lights should be viewed as complimentary. After touring Nigeria's cultura offerings , resorts, high quality buildings, roads and the rest should act as places for tourists to wind down and savour the memories of Nigeria before departing.

This is Africa for you. the major reason why the projects weren't completed is because of corruption and mismanagement.

Summary of this post - all governments, president, governors and LG chairmen have been wasteful. Both past and present. The challenges of today were not created now. It has been accumulation and mismanagement at all levels for so many years. All leaders are guilty. It has caught up with us.

In the next few years Lagos calabar coastal road will be added to the list
