Aba To Port Harcourt; A Journey Of 45minutes Now 4hrs As Motorist Hike Price by meethumb: 8:36am On Sep 22, 2018
The state of Aba to Port Harcourt expressway is typically what is defined as "Death Trap", or can be described as a Nightmare to travellers plying the road on a daily basis.

From Aba to Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, is a journey of 45 minutes and on a normal day, motorist charge the sum of 300-500 depending on someones destination as Transport fare - But of recent, reverse is the case as motorist charges passengers the sum of N1000-N1500 per each person.

The road has been in a deplorable state over the years, starting from the past administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, to the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Although, the APC led federal government have claimed to have started work on the said road from Enugu, but the work as one may see is at the speed of snail.

Coming to Aba or going to Port Harcourt, one has to get up early in other to get to his/her destination on time.

The situation has caused a lot of business stagnation as many buyers and traders, especially those coming to Ariaria International Market, Aba - has decided to boycott the road, but is there any alternative route?

That is the question travellers have been asking. Do you think the federal government has forgotten the road really exist?

ABACITYBLOG recall that the expressway is a long road that link directly to the Northern part of the country, but why would the road be abandoned?

Motorist, both trailers conveying containers coming from Onne wharf also ply the road, on a daily basis, trailers fell on the road, goods worth billions of naira are being wasted.

This is a wake-up call, it's time the federal government should urgently intervene.

This is the road "Linus Mohammed" said they are constructing, the fools in Buhari's government that wants south east and south south to vote for Buhari will not advise him to simply fix this road because of its economic, social and political importance, yet they will be disturbing us to vote for him that he is the best thing to have happened to south east and south south.
