QuotaSystem: NDDC is a scam. They don't do much and what they do is often built to a low standard. I do not know who controls that enterprise but when I compare what they have built to what is built by the Cross River and AKS governments it is shocking. 2 Likes |

esosuo: When do northerners ever speak out against their governors? Even the people in the north east who have been left to rot, hence the rise of Boko Haram, have refused to say anything negative about their local officials. They find it easier to blame the Federal government instead of those that routinely waste their allocation. 1 Like |

norjyte: I have no doubt that 12 billion figure has been inflated somewhat but you cannot compare construction products in a delta region with those in the Sahel. The topography is entirely different and the the challenges are greater in building on marshy land than on dry arid land where the issues are minimal, therefore the cost will always be greater. The rainfall in the south is heavy and thus the cost of maintenance will be greater and the threat of erosion means that there needs to be a more considered process when building in the south. When you take that into account and factor in the reality that Kano is a major metropolitan area that should be rivaling Lagos then you will come to realize that an underpass may look pretty but it is only a start. As to all these people being sent abroad to study - that is not something new, people in the south have been doing this for over 100 years. It isn't something to be proud nor is it productive in the long run, it is a drain on resources that could be better spent - I hope plans have been put in place to build well funded local institutions. 1 Like |

maclatunji: Bridge is a structure which connects two points separated by a natural phenomena like river, valley, sea, any other water body. A Flyover is a structure which connects two or more points which are already accessible and is really flying over and/or across manmade structures as road, railway, building, street. 1 Like |

gwales: Then it is over-hyped, the 3rd Mainland Bridge is 11.8km long en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Mainland_Bridge We are waiting for the 4th Mainland Bridge to link Ikorodu to Lagos Island. The economic potential it might unleash is enormous. |

maclatunji: Point noted. ![]() maclatunji: I don't believe it is over hyped because it still stands as the longest flyover bridge in West Africa. The fact that it was built by a state government in this period where corruption, ineptitute and recklessness thrives even makes it more worthy of commendation. 2 Likes |

arewafederation: Corruption was worse before. Transparency international says that corruption has subsided to the point that Nigeria has moved far from the bottom of the table where it once was (136/175 instead of 175/175). To say otherwise is to lie. As a result investor confidence in Nigeria has grown since 1999. Developments in Nigeria, coincidentally, are more numerous than they were previously. The quality of projects is greater than they were previously, the roads are being built to a higher standard and the scourge of open drains is no longer as acceptable as it was previously. States like AKS and Cross River have put a stop to the culture of taking shortcuts for petty financial gain. From what Nigeria was in 1999 and what it is today is quite a big difference. The bad habits are still there in many places but they will fade as the people become more away of what to expect. The military era ruined this country, Abacha and Babangida in particular but Buhari also played his part - slowly but surely there are people working to put things back in order. There have always been people in Nigeria pushing for progress in Nigeria, visionaries with great ideas and drive who sought the best, sadly those people have often been sidelined for retrogrades who fear positivity and self-sufficiency. Now that the military cabal are out of the way we are seeing states develop themselves, Cross River and AKS have led the charge ensuring that their citizens are educated, safe and have access to decent healthcare and other facilities that will improve quality of life. Lagos state has also been hard at work. Let us see the other states do likewise. |
