let me give an insight into the question, when sediments from runoff accumulates on the road for too long it would stick to the asphalt. Continuous heat from sun would make it to expand and contract coupled with trampling from vehicle tyres (cause the accumulated sediments have become bumps already) would then create cracks, fissures and crevices which leads to the wearing down of the asphalt nay road. Water solution (in this case rain) can contribute to wearing of the road, accumulated sediments (already stuck together) which have created dent on the road would allow deposited water on the dent not to spillaway, thereby causing wears and tears on the road. ...my little knowledge of geomorphology explained it, Igboson can agree or refute my assertions. Deje!!

^^^Haba Bros!......'Geomorphology' keh!!

I'm honestly hearing of that term for the first time......let another brother agree or refute abeg!

if still in doubt in can Google it, ...although its a branch of physical geography! *grins*

One hopes that they complete the taxiway at least to the east end of the runway(26). All other Nigerian airports have full length taxiways to both ends of the runway. Thus a plane never needs to make a U-turn on the runway after landing in other Nigerian Intl. airports except Enugu.

One also hopes the Ekulu river is the boundary for the airport in order to leave land for future facilities as the airport grows.

See how the other Intl. airports in Nigeria have taxiway reaching both ends of the runway.

This is very necessary to allow easy flow, I don't know why it wasn't done in the initial runway expansion.

Exquisitely planned ESUT Permanent site layout.

I love that place, bushy but tranquil and a nice place to read.

Now, let me welcome everyone to Okpara Avenue, the Wall street of Enugu

Okpara Avenue started from the Old Park/Holy Ghost roundabout at Christ Chemist Enugu.

All banks and financial institutions are represented here.

Actually, the "bushy"environment is what is required for a great citadel of learning if we can do the needful to transform it.

My only plea is that they should plant so much flowers, grass and trees around the campus to make the serene environment the great natural beauty that it should be.

Great universities in other parts of the world (including South Africa) did just that! I know Nigeria can do the same if we simply consider the beautifying of the environment as part of human development, not just building of physical structures.

Bros na so na
I have a lot of callers looking for office space from abroad on this road.

As we can see on the grounds, the road works is taking too long to complete, Oga Sullivan, abeg make some phone calls Sir.

Further down the Wall Street of Enugu city is the Central Bank of Nigeria, Enugu branch.

I love Enugu state.

I think I now love enugu than you do,thank you spider for using this medium with fabulous pictures to buy me back to the east,I always believe all we have in the east as a big city is onitsha and aba which are dirty,little did I know enugu strangles them. I visited enugu last year but didn't stroll around the town I spent only 2 hours there the place I went to didn't impress me that much so I wrote off the city but I am now convinced that enugu is indeed a big city as my friends do tell me when i argue its not.

Lol
That us the unique thing about Enugu, it is planned in such a wah that one can actually visit only a secluded portion of it which leaves a limited impression.

Further down Okpara Avenue are some more banks and financial services companies, if you look at those girls again, you will be charged for "lookery"

This is beautiful. I wish Enugu will model most of their streets to look this. Simply gorgeous! The only city that comes second to Abuja in terms of excellent city planning and road network.

^^^Yeah....but for fuc/ks sakes, why can't they sweep their major streets on a regular basis? See the pics Spyder posted of Okpara Avenue (the business district): see how the roads have sand sediments building up on their sides! The white-black-white-black paint applied to the sides of those roads quickly get dirty after a rainfall when they are not swept properly and regularly!

Nna ike gwu.

I been following this thread in the background for days now. Even though its impossible to read through all, honestly Enugu is a serene and very planned city. the lawns, clean roads, housing, and all. So nicee. I think the city has a big potential for tourism and good family life.

Sullivan Chime's enemies cannot find him wanting in his official duty as the governor, that's why they always resort to cheap blackmail. A bunch of never do wells. Give these idiots the governorship seat, then you find out they are animals in human skin. Rubbish!

Woww, check out that Ferries wheel in the background. Simply gorgeous but was it built by shoprite?

I dont think only shoprite built it since they are co tenants in the mall, I could be wrong though.

I think this road is no longer Okpara Avenue but Abakaliki road Enugu.

Oga Spyder,
No updates and pictures this weekend?

I wish i could meet Sullivan Chime to thank him for his uncommon transformation of Enugu, in spite of having about the most tiny state budget in Nigeria. It speaks a lot of his great managerial acumen and determination to re-position his state for the future. Today, tourists, quality investors now consider Enugu because it is clean, orderly, modern and not associated with the chaos & high crime rate of a typical Nigerian city.

I would also beg Gov. Chime to hire two or three people as landscapers and give them pictures in this thread, a pickup van to carry their tools and charge them with planting flowers and trees along all Enugu roads including along the newly dualized Abakaliki road, Naira triangle and airport road flyover.

Chime Avenue with a wide median should look like the median in the picture below.
The centenary rails should be used to fence off sections of it, so that designated gaps in the median are left for pedestrians to cross over the road without walking over the entire flowers if they were not fenced off.

Just getting the Chime avenue median beautified to look like the picture below, is the equivalent effect of 20 tall high-rise buildings along that avenue! Yet, it is cheaper and environmentally sound in the task of transforming the ambiance of Enugu.
Roads with wide medians present rare opportunities for a city to make a statement about it's beauty to those driving along such roads.

My brother, I have pictures of more developments today in Enugu. Can you guess which new roads they are fixing so?
