Pitiable condition of Port Harcourt /Owerri road (Umuapu axis) by vanndubi: 1:07am On Jul 14, 2014 |
It is with heavy heart I present before the house, the deplorable condition of part of Port Harcourt /Owerri federal road. The last time I visited Owerri was in November 2013. By then, RSG has completed its section of the expressway on behalf of FG and IMG was working from Owerri end on behalf of FG. I was in PH on Saturday and I decided to travel to Owerri on Sunday to spend the day there. Sunday morning, I hit the road. I was hoping to have a jolly good ride. Omagwa to Elele was less than 20 mins n I was like but on entering Imo, I was like why has the contractor not completed the work to merge with the completed Rivers side. I was like when I came face-to-face a sight very difficult for me to describe. I started having doubts if I was in 2014. It was like a war tore area like it was 1970 just after the civil war or like Okigwe /Afikpo federal road back in the 90s. I looked at my phone to confirm the date. Lo n behold, it was 2014 A trunk A road linking two cities in African's Biggest economy. I was about to have a fit when I saw a truck carrying 20ft container literally broken into two(possibly as a result of bad road). My phone still in my hands, I decided to take a few shots. FG should remember that federal roads are their responsibility, that IMG is only helping, that imo citizens pay their taxes like anyother citizen of Nigeria and that "there is God in everything we are doing. Then, to IMG, why start FG project when you know you cannot finish it, why? I don't know exactly how government works but I am appealing to Owelle to do his best to complete the Imo side of the road. Maka ndi Igbo n'asi n'ihe foro otu, agwula agwu. Ana achu aja, ka ikpe ana ama ndi mmuo. Hope after posting this, sleep will come (I'm still recovering from the shock of yesterday's morning) 2 Likes

Personally; I'm tired of commenting on Nigerian roads. When I get to a bad road; I try my possible best not to get stuck and when I'm out of it; I move on with my life. Nigeria is a country where the govt feels no pressure from the masses. 2 Likes |

I mentioned this road earlier in the thread that said 70% of FG highways are motorable. Guy the road is a nightmare, we had to make a u-turn earlier this year & Follow Aba to Owerri. Its Horrible, yet we have Second term campaigners. 3 Likes |

Still wonder why the OP failed to point out that the road is under construction by Arab Contractors,if the OP is not naive he would have known that Rochas cannot award or work on a road that has already been awarded. He just wants to be heard and we don hear.That stretch of road is about 50%completed,i guess the delay is due to paucity of funds..we know milestone payment stuff. 1 Like |

I personally confirm the authenticity of this report. I passed through that same road yesterday and kept wondering what went wrong. The poor condition of the road,the funniest part being the heavy loaded truck that broke into 2. It was indeed a funny sight. FG need to do something to that road. 2 Likes |
