hefelove:Thanks for drawing my attention to that. In respect of the third mainland bridge, the project gulped billions of tax payers money. So many leaders stole from its budgetary allocation. |

Phagyrhe: The third mainland bridge was not contructed by Julius Berger. At least not the part from Ebute Metta to Oworonsoki. This was built by an Italian firm whose name (beginning with S, not STRABAG) has eluded my memory now. This is an eye witness account. I used to canoe during the time of construction from Ogudu enroute to Marina along the contruction site. That was when the waters was still very clean, and the shanties was only in Makoko, and not Bariga and Oworonsoki water fronts like today. 2 Likes |

[quote author=recievesense post=50792880][/quote] I said eye witness account, not a wrong citation and dem say dem say account. It was not built by Julius Berger. The part from Adeniji Adele to Ebute-Metta could be from Julius Berger, but not the longest part from Ebute-Metta to Oworo. That was definitely without an aorta of doubt built by an Italian Construction company. Every Bridge built by Julius Berger always has a B stamp on it. You won't find B on the section between Ebute-Metta and Oworo, but an S being the initial of the company that built it. Mind you, the section from Adeniji Adele to Yaba was in use many many years before the construction of the section from Ebute-Metta to Oworo began. The sections were not built at the same time. 2 Likes |

Please I need to confirm something, is the article based on lagos as a city or lagos as a state. By the way, Ibadan is still the largest city in Nigeria. |

Sayelabola:Thank you for the compliment. Concerning the city hall, it is true it is popular being the oldest local government in Nigeria; but if I may ask, which of the listed structures do you think the city hall has a chance of sending out of the list? 1 Like 1 Share |
