The announcement yesterday (Wednesday, May 25) by the governor of the good people of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode that the 4th Mainland Bridge will cost N884 billion and take three years to build has generated a lot of comments by Nigerians.
As many praise the initiative, scores are shocked at the amount the project will gulp.
Here are some of the views of our compatriots…
1. @segalink Lagos to Construct 4th Mainland Bridge with (N844) Billion when Total IGR for all 36 States was (N682) in 2015. – @DemolaRewaju

Ambode won’t even wait for us to fully digest Oshodi, now 4th mainland bridge. The pace at which he’s going is frighteningly exciting.

The 4th mainland bridge cost is hyped but not as hyped as you people are making it sound… 3bUSD for that project is FAIR IMO

This 4th Mainland bridge concept is very adventurous but unsurprisingly long overdue.

@AkinwunmiAmbode: what is the expected start and finish date of the 4th Mainland bridge project? Please don’t use this as a political tool!

3. @segalink Lagos Light rail (Blue Line) of 27km costs less than (200 Bil Naira) – Why is the 4th Mainland Bridge (844 Bil) – @DemolaRewaju
