The governors of the 36 state of the federation in Nigeria have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to handover some of the roads belonging to the Federal Government to them to fix.


This was part of their demands at the National Economic Council meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Briefing State House Correspondents after the six-hour meeting, Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi alongside Kwara State Governor Abdulfatai Ahmed, said the NEC was concerned about the poor state of federal roads.


The Ebonyi governor said it had become clear that the federal government lacked the required funds to fix roads.

Ahmed on his part said despite being faced with the challenge of paying salaries, states could fix roads through a Public-Private Partnership arrangement.

The same governors who can't pay salaries and pensions?

Maybe they would ask for bail out for the roads also.

So since fg cannot fix any of the major highways for 18yrs now, we can't try something different?

Since Buhari don't know how to release funds for capital projects he shld free the roads for governors so he can be left alone to pay only salaries he has been doing since 2015

Only in Nigeria that a president will campaign with road maintenance

maybe you are not seeing the issues of federal roads in the proper prospective and what the state can offer!
how many km of federal roads covers Nigeria alone and these are different from state roads.States have problems building new state roads talk less of maintaining its old state roads.
From where do you want these states to get the funds to build,enlarge and maintain federal roads?

The best move ever, if you witness the state of Eastern Nigerian roads you might join the Unilorin Terrorists to call them potopoto nation.

Now their is a new terrorist organisation on the block, Python must dance or crocodile can smile...

What a useless country...

Trial and Error strategies

They shld just go ahead and unbundle the Exclusive list or devolve Federal Govt powers.

I wonder why they can't outrightly stand up to and embrace Restructuring.

Their eyes are on the goldmine in tollgates levies and concession rebates.

Either way Nigeria must be restructured.

It's not about using one ethnic group under military barbarism to write a constitution of enslavement for an entire nation made up of a multicultural ethnic group.

You can't hold the people down forever , little wonder we here in the South consider some persons as cows .

Nigeria must be restructured at all cost or get ready to kill and also ready to die - It goes both ways

They should leave it for them to fix it. When the previous government was there they faced all of these problems and u state governors never requested them to hand them over, all because u wanted them out by all means. They Federal government most fix it. To us Nigerians, never say u will do better then the man there until u get there and see what he is facing.
