Macphenson: It is difficult to argue against the Government taking over land for public good as long as the land owners are properly compensated. However, my fear about this whole issue is the possibility that after destroying properties in the name of a Highway for public good, the Highway becomes an abandoned, incomplete or delayed project such that the public good that should come becomes an illusion whereas lives have been damaged and huge public fubds expended without results. And that possibility is strongly there because of the following: 1. There appears to be more of the desire to start work rather than evidence of thorough planning regarding the Highway project. Have all rights of way been secured? Is the total project cost known? I find it curious that the Minister is talking about the toll charges at completion yet evasive about total project cost. 2. Eko Atlantic going by the master plan and phases in the development, is at least 10 years behind schedule. Phase 4, 5 and 6 should have been completed by 2015. Yet it is the same HITECH owners that are behind Eko Atlantic Project that have been awarded the Highway Project. That is not reassuring in any way. 3. HITECH Construction appear not to have good records particularly from projects executed by HITECH in Lagos like the Lekki road which was reportedly not completed and had to be concessioned. They are perceived as incompetent and nowhere near the standards of Julius Berger. |

muhammaduyusufu:Just like I stated on the NL thread featuring Reno's comments on the floodings that used to occur back in the day on Victoria Island a few days ago, the Bar Beach was already severely eroded as of the 1990s through to the 2000s and adjoining areas of Victoria Island around the Bar Beach were severely flooded by the Atlantic Ocean waves and the Federal Government kept on wasting billions of Naira to just temporarily sandfill the beach area WITHOUT success until the then Governor Tinubu of Lagos State and the Chagoury-owned firm worked to create the buffer called Eko Atlantic City and that saved Victoria Island and other real estate investments such Eko Hotel and more than would have sunk beneath the raging Atlantic Ocean. The crude oil and gas-rich Ilaje area of Ondo State is currently witnessing the massive lose of beach fronts and ancestral homelands due to the massive surge of the Atlantic Ocean on the coast lines of Ondo State. Only the kind of land reclamation done at Eko Atlantic City can bring back the Ondo State shoreline. 1 Like 1 Share |

delpee:Succinctly stated. You do have a clear sense of history. When those ocean surges took place back in the 1990s to the 2000s due to climate change and more, it used to be quite an embarrassing sight to see that Modupe Osikoya Street, Ahmadu Bello Way, Adeola Odeku, and other adjoining areas of Victoria Island being flooded. Even the sandfilling and rock embankments that the Federal Government did with billions of Naira had only a temporary effect. Just as I stated on another thread that hit the frontpage a few days ago, I CANNOT fault the Lagos State Government under Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fasola for effectively working in partnership with Chagoury's firm to bring about the Eko Atlantic City project which effectively SAVED Victoria Island from the nightmare scenario of being permanently submerged like some other parts of the world that are now beneath the sea. Those attacking the Eko Atlantic City project were definitely babies or kids at the time of the horrendous events or were NOT even born then. The other group are the CLEARLY very ignorant, narcissistic ethnic bigots who are also clearly very dangerous people and have to be avoided. These creeps are NOT happy with their own personal lives, don't see anything good in others except themselves, and therefore openly attack others online and offline without even hiding their ethnic and regional identities. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
