@9Pikin67621 @Uptownoflagos But i thought you guys complained that they wasting money on roads, that is it roads we will chop?

@Uptownoflagos Show us the one built by Peter obi in 8 years as governor

Wait, this is Ghana?? And in Nigeria, supporter of a certain Politician said a 30km 4 lane road built in 4 years by the side of Lagos water is Next Best thing after Sliced Bread in Africa?? Omo!!! 💔

@tundejames @thebilidre @onyeka_chii @ikeh_of_Anambra Please tell them, they thought this is pdp where politics is being played with developments, since PMBs time till Tinubu that has never been the case, remember when Gej dragged the approval of financing of Lagos blue line under Fashola that delayed that project

@macdon_francis @thebilidre @onyeka_chii @ikeh_of_Anambra The Anambra State rail plan is currently in the planning and feasibility stage, not yet in the final financing or construction phase. The state has engaged CPCS to deliver the rail master plan, which includes traffic surveys, conceptual designs, etc.

Lagos-Onitsha-Owerri-Aba-Port Harcourt is the most viable rail route in Nigeria. Guess what, the evil Nigeria establishment will never build it. SE interstate rail isn't their business, but they're building metro rail in Kano and Kaduna.

@ikeh_of_Anambra @onyeka_chii Eg, don't make bogus claims without specifics, because one thing i know is that unlike PDP that played politics with developments PMB, and now Tinubu don't play politics with developments

@macdon_francis @onyeka_chii Those ones who got contracts developed,designed it and took it to FG? Let's be honest with ourselves and remove deceit.

@ikeh_of_Anambra @onyeka_chii FYI, Tinubu is not Obj or Gej that played politics with developments, no State government is suffering any persecution under him becos they are not at peace with him. So if they have any need for fg's support for development, he concedes

@thebilidre @onyeka_chii @tundejames @ikeh_of_Anambra Has it reached financing stage?

@onyeka_chii @tundejames @ikeh_of_Anambra @macdon_francis The Anambra Rail Master Plan by Charles Soludo was proposed last year..

@ikeh_of_Anambra @onyeka_chii Lagos State, for instance, has already launched the prototype design for the green line project since last year, you can YouTube it to see the aesthetically beautiful design, it is a partnership btw the Chinese developers to build and run the project along with fg and Lagos

@VivianIfeomaOj You guys want to eat your cake and still have it

Contracts have been approved for three major railway projects only in the West and North, but nothing for the East. One Nigeria una!

@VivianIfeomaOj What was your contribution to the emergence of PBAT in the last elections, or don't you know that elections have consequences?

@onyeka_chii Let's even agree these rails are purely fg, aren't you guys ashamed of asking from Tinubu these projects, someone you guys hate with so much passion and whom you guys hate to call your President or is Obi no longer your President ehe go to him for such na

@ikeh_of_Anambra @onyeka_chii If you sincerely want these, then go to your governor and ask him to develop and design such projects and seek financial assistance from the fg which is what those 3 states have done and gotten approvals for

@onyeka_chii 10 roads and 3 rail projects were approved yesterday for dualization and construction by FEC, none in the SE but we are progressives working together and we are connecting to the centre with city boys. To think Imo has been APC long before many states in the South. Ya diba

@onyeka_chii But you just said interstate rail, and not intracity rail, which is what has been approved.

@Midatlblog But the aesthetically proposed design shouldn't be jettisoned, for a place like lekki that's what it needs, also the proposed trains are going to electric if am right just like the blue line but i thought the Abuja own is diesel except maybe hybrid

Approval for Phase 1 of the Lagos Green Line Rail has been granted by FEC. This project is urgent, especially for residents along this corridor. Construction should begin as quickly as possible. The rail line will significantly improve commuting, ease traffic congestion, and unlock major economic value. It will boost real estate development, create jobs, and increase productivity across one of Lagos’ most important corridors. LAMATA understands the plan, but delivery of both rail and BRT systems must now be accelerated. Lagos has massive untapped transport revenue potential, and a stronger mass transit system will unlock it. The possibility of redeploying underutilized Abuja metro rolling stock could also be explored, if technically and economically feasible, to speed up early operations instead of waiting entirely for new procurement from abroad. Meanwhile, ongoing alternative road projects should be fast-tracked to provide short-term relief while long-term rail infrastructure is being developed. Lagos has the population density to sustain efficient mass transit, and this should be treated as an opportunity, not a burden. Ultimately, how Lagos affects the daily lives of residents matters deeply. Quality of life must remain central. This is a pivotal moment for the city, and with strong execution, these projects can transform mobility, productivity, and overall liveability. @Lamataonline @olukolly @seunosiyemi_ I encourage you all. 📷 Frame 1–2: Simple station designs that can reduce demolition along the corridor 📷 Frame 3–4: Potentially reusable Abuja metro rolling stock that could be considered for early deployment under LASG rebranding if viable.

@manuelvwedee Truly your leaders are foolish not for joining the APC, but for failing to come up with laudable projects proposals like these and getting fg's financial support like those visionary States( Lagos, Kaduna, Kano)

Non of this project is located in the SS or SE. Thought the foolish governor's said they joined APC benefit from the middle.

@DAWARI10 @RoxySouthsydd Period, these people should start holding their governors to account for the way they are governing them and stop blaming the fg for their problems

@RoxySouthsydd These projects where initiated by the state governors to connect the federal rail lines. The Federal government is part of it because of the peculiarity of the project and project funding models. Let the SS governors think big

As usual, the Niger Delta region that generates more for the country is left out. We only deserve pipeline surveillance contracts.

@Ruffrasta1 You have those oil producing states to blame for not coming up with such laudable projects and seeking fg's finances to build them. That's what Lagos, Kaduna, and Kano have done

No Metro City Line Rail for states that produces the oil that sustains the country.

@qyntlynkxz @AkinlKing @Ruffrasta1 It's unfortunate that many are not like you in noticing that these are the state governments projects. They are only just wailing out of misplaced emotions

@AkinlKing @Ruffrasta1 Not population factor. The states did not ask for it. I’m surprised that Wike, throughout his 8 years as governor did not push to complete Amaechi’s monorail. I believe Kano state started pushing when Ganduje was governor, and Kaduna during El-Rufai’s tenure.

@Ruffrasta1 Or you thought it's the fg that's building the KD light rail. No, it's KD that's building it. They only needed the fg's finances along with what they have to do it

@Ruffrasta1 Why not query your governors for not coming up with laudable projects like these and partner with the fg for their realisation

@Abdul_A_Bello @Ruffrasta1 That's the point, this people thought that these projects are purely fg, they have forgotten that these are states governments projects in collaboration with fg. If their states want it, then they should come up with their designs and proposals and partner with the fg

@Ruffrasta1 Did they approach the FG with proposals to build such Metro lines seeking for funding support?

@Ade_Blayze @osazenoo No, that's why we have local government systems, all we need is strengthening of this systems to be alive to their responsibilities

@osazenoo I feel a working governor can influence this decision and support LGA that are not able to do a lot of inner roads.

Name one major infrastructure you’d like to see Dr. Hamzat execute?
