Fashola said we should not complain on bad roads, since one have to enjoyed like 100km of good road before getting just 3 to 10km of the bad portion. forgetting that even 100m of bad roads can cause accidents, kidnapping and robbery.

bro all roads in Nigeria are dead so bad is everywhere and that is part of apc plus buhari promised.

No part of the country you can see any good road at kilometres stretch if you see a smooth road and fire your vehicle thinking it's fine road you might become a ghost in the new minutes.

These are countries with sense. Nigerians refuse to have sense, instead they choose to be partisan and mortgage their futures when making decisions so whatever they see, they should face.

No country survives without toll gates, the users of the road must be taxed directly for using it, the money derived will be used to maintain and develop the infrastructure around it, ie providing better public transportation, street lights, rest spots, public private partnership is the answer.

South east people should just forget FG and fix there roads. Just put toll gates, collect 200 from every driver and fix the road.

Port Harcourt Enugu Expressway is a Trunk ‘A’ Road linking the South-South to South-East geopolitical zones in Nigeria. It is a federal road but it is currently in a deplorable state.

From Port Harcourt, as soon as you negotiate Oyibo from Eleme Flyover, towards Aba to Enugu, the road is in a bad state. The road causes a lot of traffic jam, broken down vehicles, accidents, and sufferings to road users plying that road.
From Port Harcourt to Aba is about 30minutes from Rumuola junction (Port Harcourt)but it now takes as long as two or more hours. Where the section of that road is good is after Aba towards Ohuhu-Umuahia-Okigwe sections. Other sections on that Enugu-Aba-PH road are bad too.

Naijadriva can confirm that transporters conveying passengers from Enugu to Port Harcourt, instead of traveling straight to Port Harcourt, negotiate to Owerri and continue their journeys to Port Harcourt. This is farther and increase their travel time, security risk, and money – yes, time is money. The security risk they might face is kidnappers or robbers that operate from 8pm or so, between Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo and Omerelu (Rivers State).

We have learnt that some sections of the Enugu-Aba-Port Harcourt road is being fixed by the government but work seems to be very slow.

False. Most countries in Europe do not have toll gates on their roads with the exception of few major motorways/crossings YET roads across the whole country including the small towns are in good conditions.

Better stop making excuses for the government. What is tax being collected for? What is revenue from oil exports for?

Re: Deplorable State Of Enugu-Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway (photos) by chukel(m): 3:57pm On Nov 23, 2019
Funny how we want to paint government bad. That's the aba section of that road. Op, since you traveled the length from aba to enugu, show us the stretch from aba to umuahia. Show us the stretch from umuahia to okigwe. Show us the stretch from okigwe to lokpanta. You just selectively generalised enugu/portharcourt road with just a section between aba and PH. That's a very toxic journalism. You failed to mention the very smooth portion from aba to lokpanta. Shame
We should never fail to be objective. Criticise and condemn when you ought to and encourage when the need arises. Wish I have pictures of umuahia to lokpanta section.
Let's endeavour to be truthful always
