Good development, i can see many Benue roads on the list. That state has very bad Federal roads

Baba is the Man

If taken serious would have been of great relieve to the populace.

Is cross river n akwa ibom not part of Nigeria

GOD BLESS BUHARI. some people are very angry with this news but they can only wail till 2023. no pig can stop BUHARI

Is road so expensive up north or it is just the distance?

Human capital development should be given priority ahead of physical infrastructure, Bill Gates was hammering on these and I totally bought his view. How would a road benefit the "lazy youths"?
What will happen is that they'll got employed as labourer during construction earnings stipends and thereafter used the proceed to buy Okada or Keke after the construction, this is not development the youths need to grow.

what really happen to Aba- Ikot Ekpene-Calabar ITU Road? I want Sen. Ita Enang to answer this question. It was captured in the budget and money released but up till now nothing is done about the road.

I am no fan of Buhari, but the guy don try for Cross River roads. From Calabar to Ogoja dey very smooth.
If they can actually fix, gboko-yandev-wannue. Then transport coys like Calclux and ABC should reconsider that route. We miss them there...
