[b][/b]Africa Check, a non-partisan organization
which promotes accuracy in public
debate and the media, has debunked a
recent assertion by President Goodluck
Jonathan that under his watch, most of
Nigeria’s roads have become “motorable,” saying
the claim lacks evidence
“When I assumed office in 2010, out of the
35,000km of federal roads nationwide, only
about 5,000km were motorable, Jonathan said
as he formally declared on 11 November that he
would seek another term of office. “Today, that
number has increased to about 25,000km.”
Using information from various sources,
including Budgit, a Lagos-based start-up which
tracks government spending, Africa Check said
that there is some evidence of success in
revamping road infrastructure, particularly in the
Abuja area, the claim is an overkill in terms of
the amount and quality of the work undertaken.
“While there have been some road improvements
(particularly in advance of elections, as the
government seeks to win votes), there is no
exhaustive proof to corroborate the president’s
assertion,” Africa Check said. “It would appear
that the claims are exaggerated.”
A key part of the enquiry is the atrocious quality
of most of the roads even when they are
broadcast as completed or revamped, and the
government appears headed for a cul-de-sac
trying to explain to voters how many death-traps
can be called motorable roads.
It would also be recalled that last week, various
observers pointed out that some of the claims of
achievement or “transformation” being claimed
by the federal government to boost President
Jonathan’s electoral chances are actually state
projects. Critics point out that Mr. Jonathan has
barely addressed any of the promises he made in
the 2011 electoral campaign.
