This government is a bunch of joke.

Umuahia Owerri road need dualization

abumeinben:




Points of correction here please

1. Second Niger Bridge: construction or continuation/completion?

2. Benin-Ore road is probably the most "motorable" interstate road in the country and hence need nothing. If you told me Sagamu-Ore axis, that needs intervention.

3. Lagos-Sagamu-Ore-Benin is the most important route in the country as is links the business hubs of the country: Lagos, Delta, Onitsha, Aba. Hence, that route should breathe first touch and not those roads up there.

I just smell tribalism here!

Sentimental comment @ the bolded. So other routes are not important abi?

DaniDani:
This is commendable; 1. This budget is evenly spread across the six geo- political areas and equally captured critical areas. If previous infrastructural budgets have been in this manner, many of us won't be bitter over marginalization. There's nothing to compare with equity and fairness, it is a natural law that brings harmony and peaceful coexistence. 2. If buhari/APC led administration completes these roads as listed, especially those in southeast (abia most importantly), I will join APC, campaign and vote for buhari in his second tenure. Thank God I never voted for the clueless Jonathan in his second tenure bid due to abandonment of these critical roads

this budget will not be complected up to 50 percent b4 2017 will end

As in.... U just spoke my mind..... But did they not bring out a list containing some of these roads in 2016 www.nairaland.com/3103800/fg-begin-release-funds-roads

omanzo02:

U are a joke dude

Quality road construction is not overnight work, advance countries with all necessary equipment at their disposal spend time to construct roads.

Abuja - Lokoja Road will take about 3 or 4 years to be done completely.

3 to 4 years is an exaggeration, how long does it take goodluck to complete Benin to ore road ? i bet is not up to two years.

Am still waiting for the day they will remember the Oba-Nnewi-Okigwe rd. This federal road which used to be a busy road to bypass Owerri-and link Abia- ikotekpene via Onitsha.
Only God knows when...

No bro...

If you travel, you'll know what I'm talking about. Especially the period 2006-2010. The route was a death trap until it was attended to partially.

Just travel along that route and you'll tell.

Implementation is the koko

So Enugu Onitsha "death trap" is not included? This government sef!

I guess Fashola needs to ply that road to know its a death trap

ajoskele:
Why can't they dualize that Akure-Ondo road. Peeps will free Ilesha road and follow Ore to Lagos.
Why?
Even Akoko roads to Kogi are nowhere to be found.

I seriously wonder how roads in that axis Owo-Akungba-Akoko-Oka Akoko - Isua Akoko -Parts of Akoko Edo to Kogi are being neglected yearly when such huge number of roads are being considered yearly. They're simply death traps.

BRF has shown his worth as a formal Governor of Lagos state, he linked more than enough road connectivity to the extent that his sucessor was left with no road to construct, which prompted the Gov AMBODE seeking approval from Federal govt for the rehabilitation of Oshodi Airport road and Agege motor road inward Sango. Always proud of this able Mentor and performing Minister of Power, Works and Housing, up BRF.

May God help our leaders to achieve the above road projects in Jesus name, Amen!
However, what of Enugu-Onitsha express way? The road is a death trap

I think abia state are the biggest winners here... All major federal roads leading to it are in this list... Except okigwe road.... Kudos to d fg

"To be.." Government of future tense.

Wetin do Benin - auchi - abuja road, that road. Is extremely bad and it's just a single lane for God sake that road is a federal road. And even the one lane is bad very bad, something need to b done concerning the road.

This list shall be revisited at the end of the tenure of the present administration,

eph123:
"To be.." Government of future tense.

Wailers are different from card carrying members of the Failed wadata plaza

Nigeria and deceit.
The one FIRST is the one which has no budgetary allocation.

But mentioned at least to keep those 5 percenters calm for one year.

oyo to ilorin road nko

I just have two questions for this government

First; Why is Awka/Enugu Express way not in the lists? In case you don't know, that road is a menace to life. So be proactive.

Secondly; What happened to the money approved by GEJ led government for construction of that second Niger bridge?

God dey ooooo

I doubt if they would be able to finish one priority self

adeoba2008:
It is highly commendable. Buhari is really working.

should there be 60-70% implementation on ALL these roads, then this will be a landmark achievement. Nice budget. Capital spread also matters

shame nigeria is still battling with road construction..

sarrki:

I don't understand the gibberish you've written, sorry.

If only the roads in the S. E will not maliciously be abandoned. Just saying sha.

CriticMaestro:
how do u think the budget of Nigeria looks before, implementation is what will be absent..if to say our budget from 2000 till date have been implemented, we would have been discussing what will buhari say at the G20 summit

By end of 2018, perhaps only1% of the roads shall be done. But the budgeted money shall disappear.

discusant:

i' telling u, check that yola to mubi road it has appeared more than three times in our national budget

Incase you all did not notice, 66.7% the roads on "PRIORITY ONE" are in the southern part of Nigeria. 22.2% in d middle belt and only 11.1% in the northern part


50% the roads on "PRIORITY TWO" are in the southern part of Nigeria. 12.5% in d middle belt and only 37.5% in the northern part


60% the roads on "PRIORITY THREE" are in the southern part of Nigeria. 20% in d middle belt and only 20% in the northern part


66.7% the roads on "PRIORITY FOUR" are in the southern part of Nigeria. 16.6% in d middle belt and only 16.6% in the northern part


OVERALL

60.85% of road constructions will be in the southern parts of Nigeria

17.85% of road constructions will be in the middle belt areas of Nigeria

21.30% of road constructions will be in the northern parts of Nigeria


CONCLUSION
Contrary to opinion, this administration is not focused on developing the road network in the northern parts of Nigeria but rather it is concerned about developing road networks where it is needed most. Also there is a clear indication that the government is truly concerned about overall development of the entire country and has targetted thes roads to enhance oil, agriculture as well as industries. Trully this is the way to go
