Hire many contractors for swift completion of Calabar-Lagos highway – Obong of Calabar

The Obong of Calabar, Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu, V, has called on the federal government to hire many contractors to handle the Calabar-Lagos highway project to enable swift completion.

The Obong of Calabar Executive Forum, OCEF, an advisory and executive arm of the Palace of the Obong, addressed a media conference on behalf of the Obong.

They called on the federal government to start the construction of the Calabar-Lagos highway simultaneously, saying it would abridge the project delivery time.

According to the Forum, many contractors commencing the job simultaneously will help to reduce risks associated with inflation.

The forum advised the federal government to engage many engineers and competent road construction contractors for the project.

“If the project commences from the Lagos and Calabar axis simultaneously and is awarded to several competent contractors, with close supervision and monitoring by the minister of works and his team, the project would be delivered during the life of the Tinubu istration.”

They commended the Tinubu istration, describing the project as the single largest-ever infrastructure development in Nigeria.

According to Chairman of the OCEF, Gershom Henshaw, MFR the coastal highway is a strategic national infrastructure that will transform the economic landscape of the nine states which the road project will traverse.

They also reminded the government to complete the Adiabo bridge which was started by the late General Sani Abacha’s government to connect the state up to Akwa Ibom State, saying the project has reached over 70 percent completion and should not be forgotten.

Similarly, they reminded the government about the East-West road, saying it will massively impact South-South and Southeastern states.

you think young men whose pension will be used to fund it at the expense of future inflationary effects will be paying interest as tax on loans that was taken forcefully from them at zero interest, then vote in same embodied demons?

Complicated complexity.

Obong of Calabar made the right call. FG should hasten the construction and if it takes contracting it out to many contractors to make it faster, they should do that.

God bless the South South
God bless the South West
God bless Nigeria.

Oga they aren't ready to hire any contractor aside their criminal friends they are compensating for criminality.

They knew from the onset such project doesn't require one contractor if they were sincere.

Thank God we're seeing from the deception. SS governors advised he should start Calabar section immediately, now Obong is saying the same thing.


Let's just wait till July. They initially wanted to start and end it in Lagos.

So I no come understand why they cry daily at every news like their scream will suddenly unseat Tinubu in Aso rock or give the Agulu Bitter Obi fraud the presidency seat.

Lol

Where will Tinubu place his son if he hires more contractors?

Well done Obong of Calabar.

The criminal in Aso Rock thinks South South leaders are not seeing through his deception.

He wants to concentrate on only the part inside Yoruba states and abandon the rest.
.

okoo

Tinubu must be held by the blokos. He should start the calabar end asap. He thinks he is wise.

Dy play

He is suggesting to his fellow crooks on the sharing formula for a money they still want to borrow.

E go shock una say, they won't complete the Said project..

They'll want to extend it to the next tenure.

Use it as an avenue to loot and milk The country dry

This project is Tinubu cash cow, so he's sharing it with no one

Fff

Obong want circulation of wealth but it ended immediately where it started from

Cos it’s a fraud leakage they don’t want to
