As President Bola Tinubu prepares to inaugurate a completed 30-kilometre stretch of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway on May 25, the House of Representatives Committee on Works, chaired by Akin Alabi, has announced plans to conduct an oversight inspection to ensure the project’s readiness.
The first phase of the project, covering 47.47 kilometres from Victoria Island to the Lekki Deep Seaport, is underway.
Works minister David Umahi confirmed that 30 kilometres of this section will be ready for inauguration by May 25.
“As a Committee, it is our constitutional responsibility to ensure that all federal infrastructure projects are executed in accordance with the highest standards of quality, transparency, and ability,” said Mr Alabi.
According to the politician, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is a significant investment by the Nigerians.
“We must do our due diligence before its commissioning,” he stated.
He noted that the inspection is crucial for ability and ensuring public funds are utilised effectively.
The committee’s inspection will focus on assessing the quality of construction, adherence to project timelines, and implementing safety measures.
“Our visit is not just a routine check,” the lawmaker added. “We want to ensure that when Mr President arrives to commission this road, he is doing so on a stretch that reflects value for money, durability, and safety for all s. This is about performance and project delivery.”
The oversight visit by the House Committee on Works is expected to provide clarity and reinforce public confidence in the project’s integrity and the government’s dedication to infrastructural development.
The project is expected to enhance connectivity along Nigeria’s southern corridor and potentially contribute to economic development in the region.
Wailers continue wailing, we like it like that. And as a reminder to wailers, please avoid the road, it is an highway to fraud. Leave it for us, let us enjoy our fraud in peace. If your father has any iota of integrity, you will back up your words and avoid using that road. But we sabi una, na una go call Lagos blue line fraud but rushed it after completion, na una go call 2nd Niger bridge fraud but as we dey talk, una dey use am everyday. Na una dey call Dangote refinery fraud but today, they're the praise singers of the refinery. The biggest clowns in the world are the wailers.
Organize your community youths and arm them against Fulani terrorist invaders. Let them comb the bushes and shoot at sight any Fulani bush meat and not make it public. No videos no traces. Wipe Fulani off the surface of Nigeria else they will annihilate you and occupy your lands.

After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria
na you be the biggest clown for deceiving Nigerians by smuggling that druglord from Lagos State into assrock.every tout agbero and thugs must hands and see that druggie build Nigeria as he built Lagos from the sea
I don't get it, what's their business with inspecting a road construction when there's a minister, a minister of state, ministry officials, inspectors etc or they just want to visit their allocated plots of land along the axis but have to hide under the guide of oversight
Failures are desperate to celebrate one road construction as tinubu achievement after two years….even at that how can you borrow over $800m to show only one road construction as the only thing you were able to achieve?….you must be in love with perpetual failure and generational poverty to be able to tinubu…smh

Visibility propaganda to distract us from the failures of APC since 2015.

Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.
On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video ed on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.
On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.
Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

#FulaniMustGo
Only Igbo developers must return to their dot in a circle enclave to be spoken to in a language that they understand.
Highways: Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'
When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.
Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country
Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.
Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....
However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.
Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

they need their own share of corruption money from tinubu
That is where it stops. Eko Atlantic city has always been the target for foreigners and dangote refinery.
The Calabar side is just a smokescreen.
People think please.
It it possible to build like 15 to 20 third mainland bridge in Nigeria of today?

No truer words. Maybe they shouldn't also use Calabar-Ebonyi-Benue-Nassarawa road too when completed. We have to consult oracle to find out why they are unhappy for SS about this project. SS people must have offended them, because their bitterness over this project is not ordinary.
