Bolaji, on behalf of 75 million Nigerians in the 8 coastal states, I say thank you. Thank you for not using your business interests to stand in the way of progress. 👍👍👍

[@godspikin8012]

There are existing interstate highways that are not motorable, not even used to capacity. I don't think a new road is what is needed. This is another form of Nigerian being indebted to these people via Tolling. The coastal highway is good, but i dont think the time is right.

[@fatfarmers7360]

Greetings from your brother in the south south. Thank you Bolaji for your understanding of nations development. Not those toxic children of hate, envy and anger whom are out to see that nigeria fails and even more fails under the leadership of asiwaju but Nigeria can never fail, they shall surely fail while Nigeria will continue to move and advance forward.

At this time, this is not a win win situation for the government, the citizens and the publicity to the world. The Coastal Highway is a good development by itself. The coastal highway if not properly build and maitained will be washed out to the sea by the power of Nature. Most coastal Highway in the world are not that too close to the ocean in most cases.
