Nice video. According to information on one of the video on coastal highway, the road you are standing on is for going towards Calabar while the original road at the back of Landmark is for coming onwards Victoria Island from Calabar.
Thank you for your time and comment the initial design of the road is to pass in front of landmark and the redesign plan is passing through the back of landmark.
The coastal highway which cuts across 8 states and affects 75 million Nigerians will boost travel, tourism, business, create new towns, settlement centers, industrial zones, marine businesses etc...during times of economic depression, this is the type of gigantic infrastructural projects that you need to kickstart a depressed economy. Kudos to federal government for good thinking and good planning 👍👍
The road is 10 lane,5 on each side l think not 4.There is underground drainage on the road,which means most of the water will be channel away from the area instead of causing flooding....
@@emmanueladeniyi955 No,l think that road is 5 lane not 4.From jakande will have the train.The minister never said 4 lane at anytime,he always said it's 5 lane...
There used to be “public” (government-owned) beaches back in the day going back to our parents era - and they were largely a mess. Bar beach (were Eko Atlantic presently is) was one but it was rowdy with lots of drugs, weed smokers and dealers, prostitutes (in fact people fornicating at night), church and spiritual worshippers, etc. - until erosion practically consumed the entire beach. There were also public beaches in the early days of Lekki (the Sunsplash Concerts used to be held there), but though the government collected gate/entrances fees, the beaches were dirty, unkempt and sometimes even unsafe when Agberos show up. While it’s good there are still a few public beaches left (eg, Tarkwa Bay), PRIVATE investment in beaches in Lagos cleaned up the beaches, installed generally world-class facilities and made them much safer.
The coastal highway directly connects 8 coastal states from Lagos to Calabar but it also connects at some points (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5) to South East and northern Nigeria, essentially connects the entire country. Both presidents Jonathan and Buhari wanted to execute it but could not source the funds. Kudos to President Tinubu for executing this project 👍👍
The size of the road was reduced to eight lanes at the first section of the project in order to save Landmark properties and other important buildings along that corridor. The road will be expanded to ten lanes with railway space in the middle from Jakande Lekki, Lagos.
@@taharka3897 they are not going back to the old alignment they saw a cable in front they are only going to shift away from where the cable is that connect to many countries.
Is this project necessary given the challenges Nigeria is going through at the moment? Common sense and basic knowledge of economics-scale of preference
Did government say the goal is to have a public beach at the end of the day? We pray that God keeps us alive to enjoy the road. The fact that they just decided to realign the road due to buried cable makes me believe basic due process was ignored.
It does not mean basic due process was ignored. This is a project that has been designed and redesigned since early 2000, so a lot of developments have come up over the years. Also, some of the ICT cables may be recent developments in the last 5 years or so
Anytime you construct a road in existing communities, you run into complications. You have to be flexible to get the project through. No matter what routes are used, old or new, you will encounter businesses and communities...when you move it left, affected people will cry, when you move it right, affected people will cry...those are the real challenges
@@GgaskiaAta of course people will complain that is expected. Not being aware of an intercontinental network cable is negligence, i dont care if the cables were buried yesterday
This is all scam... through Tinubu's son as the chief contractor, trillions will be stolen by Tinubu through his son.. this project wouldn't cross Ogun state talk of connecting calabar.. mirage
Nice job. We can only hope it gets to it’s destination
That is the point
I pray that this project is done to the benefit and satisfaction of every Nigerian citizen
I was waiting for your video on this coastal road. Thanks for sharing 🙏
You are welcome sir.
Of course, there will be flooding when the road is above the residential building, but I don't think there will be an erosion.

I am surprised too to hear him say 4 lanes, I was even thinking it is six lanes
From the start is 4 lane, cus of property along the corridor. From jakande it will be 5 lanes each and train in the middle.
@@emmanueladeniyi955 No,l think that road is 5 lane not 4.From jakande will have the train.The minister never said 4 lane at anytime,he always said it's 5 lane...
The road is ten lanes with a train 🚆 in the middle the road is going to be expanded as they move forward
Yes yes.. that will be from jakande
Why is it not Alphast road, from Benin 🇧🇯

Nigerians need infrastructure amenities and management not Tourism which can affect the livelihood of locals adversely.
Love this content
Thank you
Is it confirmed that the government is going back to the new alignment?

Some beaches are free it's just àwọn agbero that collecting money
That means it not free.
The high cost per kilometre suggests its another money scam
