Please , I am thinking of driving through Auchi to Benin and I heard that the road was so bad at the beginning of the year.That people had to follow through villages which I don't know about. Can anyone who travelled through that route recently tell me if the road is now motorable. Thank you as I wait for your reply.

motorable? As in who will repair it?? Anyway it's been some weeks since I heard anything about the road and I heard it got worse.

How
Part of the reason I planed not to go anywhere this season. *shrugs*

The road a lot better than it was around August. went to Uromi from benin last week and the road is manageable. those bad portions have bin patched, though work is still going on.

I just passed through the road from Benin to Kaduna yesterday. The road is way better than it was about 2 to 3 months back. All the bad spots were fixed, you don't need to go through those Villages again.
The Benin Ekpoma and Ekpoma Auchi part is a lot better now but, Auchi Okpela and Okene axis is worst with so much pot holes. I advice you take caution on that part.
Avoid those Road safety at Iruekpen, the village before Ekpoma. They had a fieled day arresting vehicle's with one offence or the other. I was one of the unlucky ones too, they even set up a mobile Court at their office. I was booked for 3k.
Drive with caution and safe trip.
