Has GEJ Really Constructed 25,000km Of Roads? by Delafruita(m): 8:01am On Feb 19, 2015
The proponents of continuity for GEJ list among his achievements the construction of 25,000km of roads.they state this as a reason to vote him again but then it gets me wondering.lagos state though the smallest in nigeria has one of the most extensive road networks in nigeria.its interesting to note that lagos has 5,500km of roads inclusive of about 11% been federal roads.goin by the assertion of the GEJ campaign,they have constructed roads that are fives times the size of all the roads in lagos state.i dont mean to be a doubting thomas,but i dont think any government needs to advertise 25,000km of roads if indeed that assertion is true.i believe this claim to be false And i urge the GEJ camp to refrain from spreading falsehood

Yes, he has constructed more than that. The question is, do you even travel out of your grand mother's kitchen to see things ?

Naija has less than 40k km paved road.. So GEJ just tarred 25k km or Naija had. 10k km before GEJ came on board.

you dont need to be insultive to pass across your message.yes i do travel but thats beside the point.the lagos ibadan expressway is 140km in lenght.Gej will need to construct almost 179 roads of same lenght to lay claim to such a feat.its simple common sense

don't be silly Op especially with the last line of your post. How old are you? Were you traveling by road b4 2011? Have you been travling by road since last year? Are the roads the same as they were b4 2011.
Don't just sit in your village and cast aspersions. Move out of your mischievous cocoonery, do some travles across major roads and then come back here to tell what you see.

Continue to wallow in self denial and delusion, of what importance is the acclaimed 25,000km of road when the Jonathan led administration has failed in its fundamental responsibilities... Hurling abuses on the people because their views differs shows the idiocracy in people.

you are missing the point.i admire the work on the lagos ibdadan expressway which thouh yet to be completed,is an advancement.i liked what i saw on the benin ore road.but thats just a few.the ibadan-oyo-ilorin expressway is also good work.however,constrcution on this roads didnt begin with the GEJ administration.then again,25,000km of roads constructed is a large claim to make.thats five times all the roads in lagos

Op if you travel alot and you have been travelling before this adminsteration came into power, you would not even ask this question because virtually everybody would tell you yes. Please research online and you would see a period when people slept on the road. I could remember vividly how a friend of mine almost missed his post ume then. If you knew Ore road then and now. Inshort, i have typed too much but this one my friend is an undisputed fact.

So are you now suggesting that old roads that were constructed as far back as the days of Gowon and have been forgotten by successive governments before now should be allowed to rot further? Do you even know the history of Lagos-Ibadan,Lagos-Benin and Abuja-lokoja that Obasanjo literally messed up?. After Gowon, GEJ has built the best quality of roads ever in Nigeria and the revival of the railway system will ensure these roads last even longer..........if u wanna still wallow in deceit and denial just keep believing Jonathan hasn't done anything.......i really don't have any words for you......whether you like it or not GEJ is winning this elections.

OP is talking about kilometers (KM) not whether he has travelled or not. 25,000KM of roads in Nigeria will scream at you, you will not need pictures to prove it, that s the point I suspect OP is trying to make not whether he de travel or not. The refurbished roads non be human being build am before wen una non go let person hear word. Its like saying the mechanic that fixes your car is now better than the engineer who first built it.

I wouldn't say he constructed 25,000km of roads but all I know is that federal roads are much more better than they were during OBJ's tenure and there are more roads now than before his administration. Op, you can seek the veracity of my comment if you can travel out of Lagos by road.

The road from Nigerian to London is 6500km.
Lagos to Kano is 990km
Port Harcourt to Born (Likely to be two farthest points in Nigeria) is 1200km.
There is no way 25000km roads will be constructed and you will still need microscope to fine them.

am not talking in terms of a specific road.i mean the lenght been quoted.has GEJ constructed 25,000km of roads?benin-ore road is less than 150km and only the first phase of 70km has been constructed.he'd have contructed 250 of same road to lay claim to 25,000km.besides,the minister for works remarked in november 2014 that 61 roads had either been constructed or undergoin construction since 2011.how then was the 25,000km figure arrived at?

exactly.the total number of paved roads including federal,state and local govt roads is less than 100,000km.i havent heard of the GEJ administration starting a road from scratch.what GEJ campainers inadvertently tell us is that GEJ has constructed or reconstructed 25% of all the paved roads in nigeria.they definitely wont need to advertise that

Why don't you present a logical basis for your argument like the OP has done instead of this obtuse attempt at bullying as usual.

The simple question is: Has GEJ constructed 25,000km of roads during his tenure as claimed in his campaigns??

If Lagos - Ibadan express way is at least 140 kilometers, has this government built 179 of such roads across the country?

If it has, can you please list at least 20 of such roads and their lengths? Or is there a web page where we can access a list of these constructed roads?

Benin - Lagos is about 300 kilometres. Lagos-Ibadan is about 120 kilometres. What OP is asking is,how many of these roads did GEJ construct nationwide to arrive at the 25,000 kilometres bandied about by PDP supporters as an achievement? With the two examples earlier we have less than 500 kilometres.
