Calabar- Ogoja Federal road or aint it a federal road? Travelling this road is like a suicide mission. . Not only the pot holes buh also the narrowness of the road

And to think that its a major trunk that links the south to the north, you have millions plying the road everyday and many loosing their lives.. No construction whatsoever is going on there.

Odukpani - Itu? Isnt it a fed road?. . . SMH.

SLIDE waxie: kai! It is true o!

U knw, as learned as u may claim u are, in other field, u are a stark illiterate! I am not refering to u, but all of us who claimed to be a genius in jes a particular field!

It's amazin how u kept saying 'cement', and it looks so odd to me! How can a sane man say 'cement' and '10inch thickness' for roads and rehabilitation respectively? But i was restained from attacking u wen i realised dt in dt area, u are an illiterate. But wldnt it be nicer is u kept it neutral? Instead of thinkin u knw?

To topic: sure, there are improvements. No doubt!

You can't put a liar to shame because they don't have shame neither can they recognise any.Anyways,what's up with Lagos-Ibadan road ? Has it been fixed ?

ogugua88:

[size=13pt]Any road can receive attention. However, if the job isn't being done right, then there's no point in doing it at all. Anyone can patch a hole in the road and say it's no longer a death trap. Yes, for the time being. Don't be surprised when these roads fall apart within two years again, due to thin cement and lack of soil tests. Because of the kind of rain and heavy traffic Nigerian roads face, especially in the south, the layer of cement shouldn't be any thinner than 10 inches, and that's being lenient.[/size]

devour129: my dear they truly don't have shame. They boldly look down on us and lie without the fear of God. They stay in there gated mansions and tell us we are eating well .its so funny

CFCfan: ^
There is a road in Enugu State that is 15 inches thick. Most of the dilapidated roads may have been less than 6 inches thick

Goddex:

Ok, let us put them to shame. Simply mention the federal roads that are bad and are not receiving attention.

LARRIE: I really wonder if this man has ever passed through ITOKIN ROAD ie from Sabo in Ikorodu to Ijebu-Ode,the road is unimanginable sorry condition.Vehicle break down every now and then on this same road.It is very pathetic that someone who is believed to know more of the state of the Federal roads in Nigeria could come out and be giving nigerians false hope.If you do not know your job I beseech you to resign.

Sincere 9gerian: Isn't it ironic that some people want GEJ to fix all the federal roads in 2yrs when state govts have not been able to fix all state roads in 6 or 8yrs. Those who tell us that because one or two roads in their vicinity have not been fixed, NOTHING has been done should be seen as mischief makers, DEVILISH LIARS and propagandists.

The undisputable facts is that federal roads are receiving far far more attention under this govt than ever before in the history of this country.

Activities on the roads in the last 2 to 3years are as follows:

The following roads projects have been COMPLETED:

Vom-Manchok road (Plateau State), Yola-Numan road (Adamawa State), Gombe Bye-pass (Gombe State), Kaduna Refinery road (Kaduna State), Kano-Daura-Mai Adua road (Katsina State), Aba-Owerri road(Abia State), Onitsha-Owerri road (Anambra State) and Oyo-Ogbomosho road (Oyo State).

Massive work is ONGOING in various other highways in the 6 geo-political zones, including ongoing dualisation of Abuja–Abaji–Lokoja Road; Kano–Potiskum–Maiduguri Road; the Benin–Ore–Shagamu Expressway; the Onitsha–Enugu Expressway; the construction of the Loko–Oweto bridge( across River Benue); East-West road; dualisation of Benin-Lokoja road; Vandeikia-Obudu-Obodu Cattle Ranch road (Phase 1) in Benue State; Mbaise-Ngwa road in Imo/Abia states, with bridges at Imo River (Phase 1); Abriba-Arochukwu-Ohafia road, in Abia State (Phase 1); Makurdi-Gboko road Phase 1 Wannune-Yandev section, in Benue; Ohafia Abia State-Oso in Ebonyi; Sections 1A and 1B of Sokoto-Tambuwal-Jega-Kontagora Roads, respectively in Sokoto State, Kebbi and Niger; Kunya-Kanya-Babura-Babban Mutum Road in Jigawa; Zing-Yakoko-Monkin Road in Taraba; Alkeleri-Bauchi Road in Bauchi; Aguoba-Owa-Mgbagbu Owa-Ebenebe at the Anambra border to the Awaha-Oyofo-Iwollo Road in Enugu State; Ofa by-pass in Ofa council in Kwara; the Ikot-Ekpene border-Ada Owerri dualisation section phase one in Akwa-Ibom, Abia and Imo; Utor Bridge project on Asaba-Ebu-Uromi Road in Delta; Oshodi-Apapa road in Lagos; Ijebu Ode road in Ogun; etc, etc

Bad portions on almost all federal roads all over the country, not mentioned above, are being fixed under a massive intervention called Project Safe Passage. The Lagos-Ibadan expressway and Enugu-Portharcourt roads were among roads that received attention under Project Safe Passage.

The Third Mainland bridge was not left out. Late last year, the EIGHT expansion joints of bridge was re-constructed. Recently, the bridge was re-surfaced by FERMA. Currently, the markings and lighting system of the bridge is being fixed by FERMA, in collaboration with SURE-P.

The ICING ON THE CAKE in the road sector this year will be commencement of work on the Second Niger Bridge (by Julius Berger), and commencement of full re-construction of Lagos-Ibadan and Enugu-Portharcourt expressways.
