This is the popular 5-Junction in Benin City, Edo state.

The “5-Junction” is one of the major roads in the city that serves the Benin Metropolis.

Daily, thousands of motorists and public transportation, especially to and from the Eastern part of Nigeria, use this road.

5- Junction was one of the most complicated areas in the state. The road was afflicted by flooding and erosion. For years, it was left in a state of disrepair.

However, in 2013, the Adams Oshionmhole-led administration remodeled and reconstructed the 5-Junction in order to salvage it from years of erosion and flooding.

The remodeling and reconstruction work on the 5-Junction involved the construction of Service Lanes on both sides of Akpakpava- Dawson-Uselu-Ugbowo section of Benin Ofosu Road.

It also involved concrete works, beautification, walkways and streetlights as well as laying of asphaltic concrete pavement into connecting streets.

However, the primary focus was on flooding and erosion control.

The Contractor in charge of the reconstruction project was Reynolds Construction Company (RCC).

The project was completed in 2013.

Today, the 5-Junction, which was constructed without any consideration for placing road-signs around it, appears to be relapsing to its former condition. Flooding has resumed at that strategic transport location.

Apparently, the drainage system built around it is inadequate to control the flooding on the popular junction in Benin-city.

Benin is a disaster during the raining season. Yet Fayose is being hounded day and night, waiting to be persecuted while Oshomole has been rewarded with the National Chairman of APC for the "good job" he did in Edo state

My problem is not calling Oshomole a theif, my problem is what u will call the PDP government before him? Don't just rely on online propaganda, Oshomole is one of this best things that have happened to Edo State.

We lack maintenance culture in all spheres. The very few available infrastructure sparingly provided are not maintained due to the genetic makeup of those in authority. This location in Benin was notorious for far more serious flooding than what is shown in those pictures before Oshiomole worked on that area. The Comrade Gov as he was fondly called was praised for solving that seemingly insurmountable environmental challenge. A simple blockage of a manhole/covet can cause what is shown in that picture. I can see some irrational post trying so hard to give the impression the immediate past Gov didn't fix that problem. It's high time we as people realise everything should not be about politics. Let's be more objective in presenting our opinions. Sad to learn people lost her/his lives in the floods.
the only reason Osho baba is facing such an unruly scrutiny is probably because he is a strong force to reckon with in this present administration...this young man opened up Benin city in terms of infrastructures..he looted I don't know but the truth remains he did what our own brother couldn't do.haters will always wail m not surprised.

Oshiomhole's infrastructural development is most extensive in Edo state since Ogbemudia in 1960-70s.

it's sad to see how ignorant our so-called leaders of tomorrow rush their itching fingers to type their ignorant hate-filled thoughts on issues they know zero about.
They ll soon start to insult you and anyone else who makes common sense response.
yeah and they will Stil bow down to worship lucky igbinedion cos he will definitely drop something.they haven't mentioned any road that was motorable in Benin prior to the administration of the dwarf they are all against.youth selling their conscience for peanuts.
