INFRASTRUCTURAL DECAY IN THE SOUTH
For sometimes now I have been reluctant in writing articles with political undertone, because I have been busy trying to teach the youth about leadership which is definitely lacking in our country, I congratulate people like Iniebehe Effiong who have decided to be the voice of the voiceless in our struggle for a better Nigeria.
All being said back to our subject matter.
Travelling between South-South and South-Eastern States in Nigeria by road have definitely become a dead trap. And every successful trip calls for a testimony, during my recent travel from Akwa Ibom to Abia State on a ministerial assignment I shaded tears at the deplorable state of this very important road, of course we know that Abia State is the commercial hub of the south and as a result all roads linking to Abia should be, in best condition but the reverse is the case.
It doesn't matter if the road belongs to the federal government or not the state government should' rise up and repair this roads knowing very well that it is their people that ply this roads on a daily basis.
Almost all major highways in the South are in a bad state right now, Akwa Ibom - Cross River (bad), Akwa Ibom - Abia (worst), Abia-Rivers State (bad), etc
Why should this be?

A good write up

Having said that you shouldn't have limited it to SS &SE

Alone, The whole of southern part of the country is

A death trap .

The big question is who is responsible for this ?

We are all guilty. We play tribalism & ethnic card on all

Issues affecting us .

It's the fault of out ministries of works and state assembly. Instead of overseasing these issues they are wasting time and resources. Maintenance culture has always been issue. The roads need to become flooded rivers before they do something.
