An Ebonyi based civil society group has called out the minister of works, Dave Umahi over the deplorable state of the roads in Ebonyi while he served as Governor of the state .

The Group under the auspices of Conscience of the Ebonyi people frowned at the cement roads built by the minister just under a year as minister.

The group spokesperson, Oleka chike has called on the federal government to come to the aid of the people in Ebonyi state as the roads are becoming a nightmare for Travellers and commuters.

Oleka warned that , the minister has refused to listen to the people of the state to build quality roads instead of using cements that are not durable .

Cement roads are durable if properly executed.

If these few pictures are all you can pull out to bring 8years of monumental strides of Umahi to disrepute, then you are a desperate lunatic. Compare this to the deplorable state of roads after 8 years of other Governors including your Messiah Obi. Como onnnn, what's the ratio of these few cracks to the massive stretches of great roads in that State? Oga, you and your fellow headless mobs should look for a more sensible propaganda in this Ur futile voyage

Shady contractors!

The ones Dangote did in Lagos are still standing.

Asphalt still remains the best global standard except that most things turn upside down
when it is Nigeria.

That means it’s a bad idea to build road with cement, but that doesn’t mean umahi didn’t perform

I doubt. CranBurg is using the sam cement on the Lekki-Epe expressway. Dangote refinery also used the same. I believe it is more expensive and durable.

For roads that are less than a year old, it is terrible. Either the contractors used substandard materials, or the project cost was heavily influenced by corrupt practices.


Standard road construction should be used for at least a decade or two before any repair should be initiated. Go and check most of the federal roads constructed in the 70s and 80s, they were still intact and require no repair until decades later.

Re: Group Exposes Cement Roads Done By Umahi In Ebonyi (Pictures) by MasterTeeUSA: 4:09pm On Nov 09, 2023
The issue here is two fold...no steel reinforcement and the thickness of the concrete road. Concrete is by far better than Bitumen and easily maintained with more cement ...and they need to also limit the loads on our roads.

There is a reason why roads are built with tar, and why we need actual civil engineers, who understand the reason why uniform cement will always fail, to build those roads. Even roads that you find that are built with cement will be done block-wise with compressible buffers in-between each block because civil engineers know that objects generally expand when heated. In tar roads, the tar serves the purpose of both adhesive and flexible buffer between the stones that they are mixed with.

There's iron rods in that one.
Iron rods add reinforcement to make the concrete stronger to take more load.
This one in the picture just looks like only cement without iron rods.
And the cement seems very light, maybe 50mm to 100mm thick. That thing will crack like breakable plate.
