I can boldly say that, massive work is on going, on Lagos Ibandan expressway, and also Ilorin-Jebba-Mokwa road. Which i plied recently. I believe that, the people in the other region can testify if work is on going on the road mentioned in their regions.

DaniDani:
This is commendable; 1. This budget is evenly spread across the six geo- political areas and equally captured critical areas. If previous infrastructural budgets have been in this manner, many of us won't be bitter over marginalization. There's nothing to compare with equity and fairness, it is a natural law that brings harmony and peaceful coexistence. 2. If buhari/APC led administration completes these roads as listed, especially those in southeast (abia most importantly), I will join APC, campaign and vote for buhari in his second tenure. Thank God I never voted for the clueless Jonathan in his second tenure bid due to abandonment of these critical roads
Big thumb up for you,bro

I seriously wonder how roads in that axis Owo-Akungba-Akoko-Oka Akoko - Isua Akoko -Parts of Akoko Edo to Kogi are being neglected yearly when such huge number of roads are being considered yearly. They're simply death traps.
These are roads that lead to Abuja oo.

Incase you all did not notice, 66.7% the roads on "PRIORITY ONE" are in the southern part of Nigeria. 22.2% in d middle belt and only 11.1% in the northern part


50% the roads on "PRIORITY TWO" are in the southern part of Nigeria. 12.5% in d middle belt and only 37.5% in the northern part


60% the roads on "PRIORITY THREE" are in the southern part of Nigeria. 20% in d middle belt and only 20% in the northern part


66.7% the roads on "PRIORITY FOUR" are in the southern part of Nigeria. 16.6% in d middle belt and only 16.6% in the northern part


OVERALL

60.85% of road constructions will be in the southern parts of Nigeria

17.85% of road constructions will be in the middle belt areas of Nigeria

21.30% of road constructions will be in the northern parts of Nigeria


CONCLUSION
Contrary to opinion, this administration is not focused on developing the road network in the northern parts of Nigeria but rather it is concerned about developing road networks where it is needed most. Also there is a clear indication that the government is truly concerned about overall development of the entire country and has targetted thes roads to enhance oil, agriculture as well as industries. Trully this is the way to go

Dude, Don't be smarter than your shadow. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin



The length of just ONE road in the north is the length of all the southern roads combined. That is why they hid the length of the roads covered in the contract in order to deceive gullible people.

For instance : Construction of the Kano-Maiduguri dual carriage Road (Sections I-V) in Kano/Bauchi/Yobe/Borno states is more than ALL the roads in the south COMBINED. The same distance in the south will be equivalence of Lagos to Calabar dual carriage road.

In the south a project of Lagos to Calabar will be called Lagos -Ore, Ore -Benincity, Benin-Asaba, Onitsha-Owerri, Owerri -Aba, Aba-Ikot Epene, Ikot Epene - Calabar.

You can see that in the north, they just name to beginning of the road and where it ends. In the south, they name all the junctions it passes through.
