unfortunately concrete road isnt smooth to ride on... the vibrations is very annoying... plus it takes longer to construct...
so we are practically exchanging smooth coal tar roads for supposedly long lasting concrete uneven roads... ps... who says coal tar aren't longlasting
i have seen coal tar roads dat have stood the test of time.. check ogbemudia roads built in the same benin... over 30 years still smooth and firm...

I doubt the concrete road built by these states government would outlive one wet and dry season.(with the pictures i saw in abia, about 8cm thick, no dowel or reinforcements for expansion and contraction, with the concrete laid on just compacted laterite)
Its not all about pouring concrete and singing concrete roads. ..would the govt ensure that proper stabilization to achieve maximum strength of the subbases wer this concrete would be poured are carried out deligently.
Jst a little settlement and it is cracking galore

Those Ogbemudia roads are concrete oh! Pure concrete! Maybe they just laid asphalt on top the concrete! Those roads no dey get pothole even 40 years after construction!
hhahahahaa.. they are purely asphalt roads... built to specification... the asphalt are so thick and super strong

Obaseki is a financial wizkid! Funnily he has barely spent money on all the projects he is executing!

Dangote is basically providing the cement for the concrete. Once it's proven that this can work, the plan is to use the huge deposits of limestone in Edo state to make cement for the construction of over 3000km of road within the next 4 years.

For the Agriculture program he just launched which opens up over 5000 hectares of land for interested farmers, the state does the land clearing with existing equipments, while a private sector entity, Saro Agrosciences provides the inputs and the individual farmers provide the labor.

He basically uses leverage to achieve a lot!
Thanks for educating me. So what was Oshiomole doing?

Gov. Obaseki started well. He seems to be prudent and transparent in his dealings with Edo State's finances. Concrete roads are new in Nigeria. Let wait and see how the innovation works out.
Every level of government in Nigeria should adopt openness and transparency in handling the affairs of state.

Obaseki would be the best Governor Nigeria has witnessed in a while.
Edo State is in for a good ride!!
Everything from roads, education, agriculture is getting a lift!

I don't care jack about APC, actually dislike them, but I must say that Ambode and Obaseki are the best governorship materials in Nigeria!
Funniest thing is that they had worked in the private sector

Thats Kool. The amount of people I see trekking these days, I hope the sidewalks dont begin to develop potholes.
At least it has made ring road free of that insane traffic!

I think Edo is in for a wonderful ride with Obaseki!

Maybe maybe not. Thank God you've seen the trekking so it's no joke. Ring road may be free of traffic. But it means the traffic has been pushed to where the buses now 'load'. It's like a win-lose. No traffic in ring road but insane traffic at mobil. Then pedestrians almost nomads. He's doing well, hopefully he has a good plan for the traders who lost their "shops". And parks at the right places. Needs to strategize
