I am Lagosian, and an unrepentant APC member, but Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode have collectively scammed us with the promise of this bridge. It is really heartbreaking that Lagos, with all the huge IGR, cannot complete a Metrorail for 20 years or even lay a block for the 4th Mainland Bridge. 23 Likes 4 Shares |

I don tire for this bridge matter self. Meanwhile, can't we regard the rail bridge under construction as the 4th mainland bridge? Afterall, the bridge is meant to serve commuters from the Island to Okokomaiko. |

Some of those facts are wrong... We did an extensive report on 4th Mainland bridge some few months back, I hope I can still lay my hands on it. This is a well-researched article on 4th Mainland Bridge https://www.autoreportng.com/2018/04/lagos-4th-mainland-bridge-is-this-end.html Mark my word... 4th Mainland Bridge will not happen in 20 years to come...
