Dee60: Stories we have heard for many years. Let us see the roads, please, not announcements!

Even Lagos Ibadan that was kicked off by His Excellency, not a single spade seems to have moved since then. We do not need talk talk, we need act act!

awodman:
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has appealed for caution and patience on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway as construction work has begun on the road which serves as a major link between Lagos and other parts of
the country.

PapaBrowne:

Looks like that is becoming the standard. The FG is learning from the ACN states.

awodman:
Don't come here and lie and expect to go away with..contrary to your claims work has started on that road

freezy:

I took the road on Wednesday morning and not an iota of work has started on it.

I'll take it again tomorrow and I'll give updates if anything has been done.

awodman:
Did you go near Luboro junction or the RCCG?.. because according to the Channels Tv report,that's where work is been concentrated for now

MAYOWAAK: YAHOO! YAHOO! PRESIDENT ON THE MOVE
few months ago, president Jonathan held a party on Ibadan-Lagos Express way celebrating the award of contract for the re-construction of the road. People were held in traffic for hours and it was like a carnival. Till today, there is no single tractor on Ibadan-Lagos express way. no work is going on any where and there is no sign that work may begin soon. In a similar vein, Many months before the carnival at Lagos-Ibadan express way, the president awarded the construction of the 2nd Niger bridge. It was celebrated and even added to one of many of president Jonathan's achievement, but today, there is no single brick at River Niger to signal the construction of the 2nd Niger bridge. There is not even a sign that work may begin soon. WHAT MARVELS ME IS HOW SOME NIGERIANS STILL TAKE GOODLUCK JONATHAN SERIOUSLY. I have long consoled myself and any time i watch president Jonathan make promises or claim any achievement, i just take it as if i am listening to "I go die", Basket mouth or AY the comedian. By that, i am not a victim of the yahoo! yahoo!

Sincere 9gerian:
Sometimes you recognise a problem, desire to fix it but you cannot because of lack of resources. Every minister of works would love to have bulldozers everywhere fixing the roads but you know that's impossible because of limited resources.

hipinnacle: i read d post with some disgust because even thou i av nt travelled most of d road d op mentioned, @ least d ones i have passed most recent are there to see. i dont where d op get his information from. albeit, he is wrong. just to site some examples; Lagos- Ibadan expressway and ore-shagamu road are as bad as even there is no government seat in Nigeria. let people learn to travel these roads b4 coming here on this forum to spew thrash. many of these projects are paper work. let us stop being gullible folks.

Iam not against any government as I still watch GEJ with keen interest to facilitate and hasten his campaign promises.

nevertheless, I av decided with some people not 2 b passive any longer but start thinking of a better future 4 Nigeria. This led us to create www.facebook.com/APCTeamNigeria to crave for the change we desire. with purpose and sincerity, we can all build Nigeria with our little resources (I dont think is even little).

What is going on with regards to the Second Niger Bridge is PRELIMINARY works. The president will actually flag off the commencement of the main work. With regards to the Lagos-Ibadan road, if the contractors are not on site now, then maybe they'r waiting for heavy rains to abate. The road is in the 2013 budget so nothing will stall work.

Sincerely, this is the first time I am hearing a whole CIC flag off stuff. I'd think the finishing deserves the revelry. My thoughts.

However, we have had the longest August break in years. Lots would have been achieved had work started immediately. Oyo, Osun and Ogun state Governments are carrying on with constructions even with the 'rains' using less advanced contractors. It is only in Nigeria we hear excuses of not being able to construct roads during the rains. This was a clear diversionary tactic in the military era. Sad it is surfacing again.

JB does massive contructions inside water worldwide. I doubt some West African rain can hinder them from working. We have to demand what we want, else...

I did Lagos-Ibadan again today as I informed earlier. Status: Same ol', Same ol'

Cheers
