Roads Are No Longer Death Traps - SURE-P by Goddex: 9:33pm On May 20, 2013 |
SURE-P to Nigerians: Our roads are no longer death traps on MAY 20, 2013 · in NEWS 7:22 pm Share By Favour Nnabugwu The Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme, SURE-P has assured Nigerians of smooth driving through the nation’s roads as funds are being provided for road rehabilitations. The Convener, SURE-P/ Federal Road Maintenance Agency, FERMA on Public Works, Dr. Ngozi Olojeme, boasted that Nigerian roads are safe for smooth driving. “Roads are actively being maintained in the phase one of the project. Nigerian roads were left in a dilapidated state to the extent that a lot of lives were lost. FERMA is devoting its energy to road maintenance all over the country. We have to work daily to achieve our mandate. We have been travelling across the states to ensure results are achieved. We are doing it geopolitically and every state will be adequately represented, so that Nigerians can travel on well maintained roads,” she said. Dr. Olojeme boasted: “Nigerian roads are no more death traps. If you say they were death traps, yes, but now, they are not.” She spoke while leading SURE-P’s technical partners, Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, FERMA, on an inspection tour of the Abuja-Kaduna highway where workers were patching different portions of the road and clearing the grass along the median. She also disclosed that five motorised truck slashers have been procured to hasten work on five major roads. They are Enugu-Port-Harcourt, Benin-Ore, Benin-Asaba, Ibadan-Ife, and Abuja-Kaduna highways. Reaffirming the Federal Government’s determination to keep the Federal highways free of potholes all-year round, Olojeme stated that about 5,000 workers youths have been employed so far, and that the figure would be scaled up to 10,000 by year-end in first instance. The aim, she said, was that they would provide safe, motorable road linkages across the economic zones of the country. Speaking on cracks that were visible along the roads, she said keeping watch and patching them was the essence of the SURE-P public works programme. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/sure-p-to-nigerians-our-roads-are-no-longer-death-traps/ |

Goddex: Ok, let us put them to shame. Simply mention the federal roads that are bad and are not receiving attention. [size=13pt]Any road can receive attention. However, if the job isn't being done right, then there's no point in doing it at all. Anyone can patch a hole in the road and say it's no longer a death trap. Yes, for the time being. Don't be surprised when these roads fall apart within two years again, due to thin cement and lack of soil tests. Because of the kind of rain and heavy traffic Nigerian roads face, especially in the south, the layer of cement shouldn't be any thinner than 10 inches, and that's being lenient.[/size] 5 Likes |

It will be good if that will be the national standard, but the different states do not have the same financial resources. The thicker the road, the more money needed for its construction. However, the FG could adopt the Enugu model as its own standard for inter-state highways. 1 Like |

Goddex: Calabar- Ogoja Federal road or aint it a federal road? Travelling this road is like a suicide mission. . Not only the pot holes buh also the narrowness of the road And to think that its a major trunk that links the south to the north, you have millions plying the road everyday and many loosing their lives.. No construction whatsoever is going on there. Odukpani - Itu? Isnt it a fed road?. . . SMH. 4 Likes |

Br3nd4: Thanks for breaking it down in plain and simple language. You need to check out a different attempt to dazzle Nairalanders with an ABC billboard, back in March of this year: https://www.nairaland.com/1237669/nigerian-roads-getting-better-abc But then, as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, it did not take long for even ABC to reverse itself ABC transport boss blames accidents on poor roads Source 2 Likes |

It looks like Nigerian (Federal) roads are still in a state of anomie, which entails engaging in a macabre dance when driving on them. |

How can a sane man say 'cement' and '10inch thickness' for roads and rehabilitation respectively? But i was restained from attacking u wen i realised dt in dt area, u are an illiterate.

I can now drive from Abuja to Enugu without stress. Let us say the truth when we see it. SURE-P's road rehabilitation is working. We cannot expect them to fix every single road at once. That would be asking too much. Mind you, even the US has bad roads. You guys need to go to some interstates in the US or go to Los Angeles and see how the roads are like. 1 Like |
