Nnewi—A group of Nnewi residents under the aegis of Recover Nigeria Project, RNP, has threatened to block vehicular movement on the ever busy Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, if the Federal Government continues to ignore dilapidated portions of the road, stretching from Onitsha to Awka, the Anambra State capital, which have become death traps that claimed many lives already.

Addressing newsmen yesterday in Nnewi, the coordinator of the group, Comrade Obi Ositadinma  said they have concluded arrangement to block vehicular movements on the ever busy Enugu-Onitsha expressway. Schools, Institutions, concerns, Seek reprieve on Lagos-Badagry expressway “The Federal Government should  urgently commence work on the road especially the bad spots on the road. However, if nothing is done urgently on the  bad spots  on the road which have claimed many lives, we have no option than to block it.

“The portions of the road that have deteriorated so badly extends from Umunya, Oyi Local Government Area, close to Anambra State Government House Awka, and regrettably, ranking politicians in the state ply the road without thinking of what to do to solve the problem that has literally become a monster, sending people to their early graves.”

Comrade Ositadinma said: “The bad portions of the have claimed many lives and rendered others permanently disabled and we will not keep quiet and watch our peoples’ lives taken untimely due to avoidable accidents.

“Recover Nigeria Project can no longer fold its hands while lives are wantonly lost on the dual carriage way. We have therefore decided to totally block the road until the government is ready to work on the road or patch the bad portions.

“Most of the bad spots are very close to Anambra State Government House, and also the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and federal offices are located on these roads. Our so called leaders pretend they are blind whenever they get to the bad spots.

“This to us is irresponsibility and an indication that the government does not care about the people.”

Poto poto republic.

Because they know Buhari has listening ears and there are many road projects going on already.

Why didn't you block road during Jonathan govt?

Surprisingly, this road is among South Eastern roads constructed and commissioned
by Buhari's govt on Facebook

The amount of lies this govt dishes out to Nigerians will scare even the devil
.

The chicken have come home to be roasted. The shameless federal government prefer to play politics with development of infrastructures in southeast not taking to consideration that every lies have an expiring date.

Passed through the road for a project, from 2nd Niger bridge to Trans-ekulu enugu, not a 1/2km of tarred road or even graded road, the road (except Onitsha & Awka itself) is now a dusty oneway, while the other side has turned to valleys.

Imagine a road you can drive on any side in a oneway, thats how pathetic and bad the road is.

And i began to wonder, where are all the commissioned propaganda we read on nairaland?

Lousy government with no achievement.
I wonder what they have actually done for se to deserve our vote.
