As the minister admitted, the award sidestepped the public tender competitive bidding process. This raises the question of how the cost was arrived at.This is one of the red flag or sign of this controversial project. No due process on the actual cost, pattern of funding and abuse of government provision in the award of public contracts. No competitive bidding. This is what you get when criminal minded people are in government. Meanwhile, this construction is alleged to be awarded to Hi-Tech a company owned by the notorious Lebanese- Chaugoury brothers who helped the late Sanni Abacha to laundered Nigerian money. Meanwhile this same Chaugoury is an a long time political ally of Bola Tinubu. So the well discerning Nigerian can see the connect. Dave Umahi will end up being the fall guy here. Same way he built an economically unprofitable variegated colour Airport in Ebonyi state. 153 Likes 9 Shares |

The coastal road as an alternative road will reduce stress on the internal roads thereby making them last longer. New communities will also spring up along the coasts leading to more economic activities and depopulation of already overpopulated internal urban and rural areas. How about travel time reduction? The advantages are endless. 52 Likes 18 Shares |

Sannisege:As you believed Premium Times then, believe it this time. Sannisege:But the endless disadvantages outweigh the endless advantages. It is like killing millions to save one. Imagine N77 trillion loan and a whooping 97% of total revenue to service the loan. Is this progress? You changed your comment to show how inconsistent you are. 160 Likes 12 Shares |

"These uncompleted projects, among others, left a N6 trillion debt hangover for Tinubu. The N300 billion 2023 supplementary budget the government provided to address this challenge does not scratch the surface at all.Exactly what Peter Obi said yet the government and it herds of mummified zombies are calling him names. Nigeria is a criminal enterprise. Meanwhile, the rubberstamped Akpabio-led NASS is useless in check and balance because they are neck deep in the corruption. 100 Likes 6 Shares |

"PREMIUM TIMES believes that at a time in which the economy is bleeding profusely, there must be better areas to plough our little resources into, not coastal roads. In fact, the over N77 trillion debt and 96 per cent of total revenue to service it, alongside the criminal negligence of our roads, are sufficient red flags against this super highway now..." 62 Likes 7 Shares |

South South people are so happy because of the coastal road that will be constructed and they have not hidden it, South West people are happy because the road will be constructed. The Northerners are not worried about it and have not said anything. But you see South East, they are very bitter because of that road. Why? 23 Likes 5 Shares |

If you look at the people who support wrongdoings, you'll understand how some Africans sold their brothers and sisters to colonialists and slavery. There's no difference between them and the people who sold people their kinsmen because of small gains. 40 Likes |

Gospel truth. I maintain it's a misplaced priorities. Every resources Nigeria has presently should be channeled into 1. building of refineries to reduce the price of petroleum which which is the mainstay of our economy and has multiple effect on the economy and massess. Dangote refinery is not enough. 2. Provision of constant electricity. Many businesses are winding up in Nigeria because of the high cost of production as a result of cost of diesel and fuel couple with high cost of raw materials. 3. Security 60 Likes 5 Shares |

A white elephant project that can never be completed. Tinubu using FG money to expand the shores of his business interest with his Chagoury gang. But Zonebs are hailing him in an empty stomach. 49 Likes 5 Shares |

Tinubu lo kan. Anyone that think Tinubu doesn't intend to recoup the millions of dollars he threw in the elections, is out of his/her mind. By the time Tinubu finishes 4 yrs tenure, (even if Nigerians doesn't give him 2nd term), he would have laid enough underground pipelines through which Nigeria's revenue will be syphooned into his family pocket like he did in Lagos state. My worry is the way his very dangerously ambitious son - Seyi Tinubu is hovering around the seat of power like a vulture will make the even more deep. Emi lo kan is far from Awa lo kan. But am happy that the Emi lokan supporters were the first to compose and sing the Ebi kpa wa sound track. What you sow, you will reap. 40 Likes 2 Shares |

Sannisege: Are you human or something else? The issue of national interest is under discussion by all parties involved and you there make it a kitchen gossip and tribal matter? Shit, shame on you. Nigeria will never move forward with this mentality. The constant reminder to sycophants, the people deserve accountability. 38 Likes 3 Shares |

Lol Many of these people who write rubbish are mocked outside of Nigeria. Go check out all of the current wealthy nations. They began by developing infrastructure. Whether the economy is in depression or not, we must put structures, roads, railways, and seaways in place. We keep shouting that food is expensive...while farmers complain about bad roads. Consider how much food, oil, and other large items will be transported by rail across the entire region. And then the road will be preserved. Many people are just educated illiterates in Nigeria. I don't like Tinubu, I am not his fan... but during the election, I said it clearly that he would build Nigeria like he built Lagos. However, we will have his boys everywhere. Thuggery will reign... and many other bad things. Nigerians prefer him, and they have him. Shikena. Make dem manage am. But building infrastructure is not out of place. Nigerians are gluttons. They prefer palliatives. Or have them use magic to put food on their table. They do not see the economic value in constructing this railway and road. They will finish it by the grace of God. Tinubu does not have records of abandoned projects. He is a man who chooses a follower to replace him and keep his projects going. The evidence is still in Lagos. He has many flaws, but I believe we should let this phase pass. To me, let them keep putting infrastructure in place. We have reaped too many benefits from subsidies. Let us make sacrifices for our children and generations to come. Let us sacrifice for them. Even these politicians are embezzling, and we can do nothing. As long as infrastructure like this exists, we will eventually be able to confront corrupt politicians and control corruption. Finally, it is beneficial to have opposition. While I condemn those who oppose this project, I still appreciate them. Everything requires checking and balancing. Let us move Nigeria forward. 9 Likes |

It was obvious from day one that the project was a highway of fraud just as Atiku described it. A fraudulent highway from Bourdillon to Lebanon 22 Likes |
