I also feel agog commenting my reserve. Kudos Udughan

64 roads? Which Asaba? 64 dilapidated roads I guess.

When i saw them re-painting a side block on d road last week saturday i knew uduaghan is at it again.For those who were observant enough would notice that CCC were patching some roads at Traffic light between monday night and yesterday and all roads were blocked ...can such a road be commission? I will always kick against Uduaghan until he remove Embargo he placed on employment since 2010 and be sincere with d Dualization of Asaba-ughali road,
