Good. But it took the intervention of the house of reps member representing the federal constituency, Hon Goodluck N. Opia, to get Arab contractors to do the needful. The work was stalled because a member of the community (Umuapu) took the company to court over compensation on his land. And this was the reason the road was stalled and many cars were damaged because of greed of one person. The Hon member who just came to power, visited the site and had series of meetings with the contractor and the man and even the former Hon. Member representing the LGA (hon Luke Chukwu, whose house was near the other person.). After long stories, I guess they agreed to continue working but bypassed the house of the man who took them to court. For those who pass the road, you'll see a compound that was left.

What I am yet to read from anyone which shows how hypocritical people are is Buhari, if tribalistic as made out to be, could have abandoned this road, but did he? This road is about completed, serious ongoing work on the PH-Enugu Road and yet people will say they are from the 5%? If na so I want to be from that 5%. Isn't it a shame that a GEJ 'supposedly' awarded, which actually he didn't, a road not more than 100km in 2011 and as at 2015 when he left, it wasn't completed? But now the new government is about finishing it and it is GEJ? So how come he wasn't able to complete the East-West Road which was awarded by Obasanjo and leads to his home state in 5 years? Una get serious mental problem!!! 6 Likes |

The wise saying, appreciate a man for work well done and he will do more but some Igbo sentimentalise even when they see the good job done they will be seeing APC candidate as outcast, after they will say they are been marginalised when you refused to put your house in order 1 Like |

After all the noise the Igbo traders have abandoned the so called biafra Nnamdi kalu and went back to their various shops, showing the true colour of themselves on how they love money more than themselves. By the time he comes out he will learn how to behave in a circular society like ours |

I am a regular user of that road. even used it on 29th. Yes work is ongoing but am not comfortable with d umuapu axis. Though for now d village bypass still serves but they need to speed up at that zone cos it will be worse once rain sets in fully. |

obailala:Keep quiet! irredeemable zombie trying stylishly to salvage anything left of this clueless government and even appropriate any achievement of the much maligned predecessor. As a matter of facts which we all know you deliberately chose to ignore 1. Owerri-Omanelu Federal highway was awarded in March 2010 at the cost of 21 billion, I guess your Yar Adua was in power then.Over the years, that road has suffered from underfunding because of the quest to fund the East West road under the Same ministry. 2. Two sections of Enugu-PH expressway was awarded in August 2013 to Setraco and Arab contractors for 124 billion, while the remaining sections(3&4), where awarded to CCCECC and the CGC in late 2014. 3. Enugu to Amansea was awarded in Dec 2014 @ 24 billion, to RCC after the termination of the previous contract to CCC and Niger Cat. So dear (fool), these are Jonathan's projects which Buhari should do well to complete(If he likes). |

dechriscool:What nonsense are talking about, road that was awarded by niger delta ministry during yaradua administration during the time Amaechi was constructing rivers state axis of the road, Amaechi completed and commissioned rivers axis but niger delta ministry refuse to pay the contractor leading to abandoning of the road since 2011, the place you mentioned has been like that since 2011 and you here talking what you don't know. The little work they did last year was for political reason as the left immediately after election, what is happening now is as the result of the federal government asking the contractor to return to site. 2 Likes |

chudionu58:First of all, I see no reason why you must throw insults such as 'goat' and 'fool' when you want to pass a simple message. It speaks volumes of your personality and you would be banned if you persist. Regarding your comment, you claim a road project was awarded as far back as 2010, but for 5 solid years, users of the road have been going through hell. You quote beautiful figures as contract awards for these projects but nothing was on ground for 5 years to reflect your beautiful figures. My friend, just in case you are new to Nigeria, it is not all about announcing and publishing on paper that x-y-z amount has been awarded for a project, if that was the case then OBJ and his military predecessors should take all glory for all the roads built in the last 17 years because contracts were also awarded for most of these same roads under OBJ. As a thoroughbred Nigerian who understands the double-speak of dubious politicians, what matters most is if the physical cash was actually released to contractors for the projects and if the project was actually executed. As far as common sense is concerned, your Jonathan spent 5 jolly years enjoying unprecedented oil income but he left the federal roads in the SE to deteriorate to their most horrible state. 1 Like |

Re: Good Change Hits Owerri/port Harcourt Road by Blackkie: 6:19pm On Mar 31, 2016 |
Whoever that is publishing this trash should take it easy. Has anyone cared to ask why the road was built from PH and ended at the Imo section? Today one Abagworo or whatever is telling us another cook and bull story. Rivers state paid their counterpart funding in full while Imo never completed theirs. Ohakim started the road, Rochas came on board and refused to pay his own [IMO] part thus Rives end is done while Imo end is what it is. At least as a journalist I covered one of the visits by NDDC concerning that road. |

tinktanker:Just last week, you heard the finance minister say on tv that priority projects meant to be resuscitated with the N350bn stimulus were the Lagos-Ibadan road and the 2nd Niger bridge. But yet you still choose to fly along with a story from a sensational tabloid?... Na wa! http://www.punchng.com/n350bn-package-lagos-ibadan-expressway-2nd-niger-bridge-to-benefit/ By the way, according to the link you posted, work was suspended due to lack of funding. Buhari only just got his first budget passed last week and his finance minister has announced same time that priority funds would immediately be made available for the bridge project. For the records, the suspended work has nothing to do with Buhari. |
