A persistent problem is obvious here: the federal government has so many commitments across the federation that it can not meet up with its resources. The states need to be empowered to take up some of these responsibilities.

While the FG invests in rail and shipping infrastructure the states can do likewise with roads.

Very terrible

ojobek:
No work on federal roads since Jonathan left office,just take a trip from ph- Ibadan then you understand what I am saying.

Ife-Ibadan is becoming something else now. The right lane on entering Ife is practically being abandoned now by motorists.

The state of federal road in ebonyi state

LadySarah:
This post without Aba ph road is useless.The road gives me shivers.

I almost had asthma & Stroke at the same time while taking that road last year. I for die

cenaman:
Do you know that there is a place in aba called ishi mmiri?

What does it mean, I'm not igbo.

Not only in Abia state it is the same in Anambra and Enugu especially Ugwu onyeama who has claimed many lives, from Enugu to Onitsha who suppose to be 45mintes journey is now more than 4 hours journey.

DonKachiERA:





The problem with some of you is that you blame the wrong people for your problems. Call on the Federal government to do it's work and stop casting aspersions on the State or State government.

continue waiting for fed govt.while your state is rotten.

CotenantNIG:
cant we really do this things by ourselves in this country, must we always wait for the government

Are you kidding right now? Haven't we been doing everything for ourselves in this country? We have been generating electricity ourselves through generators even when we pay humongous money for it; we drill water ourselves, we pay for our own security, we create jobs and develop businesses in spite of the government, yet we are being taxed heavily. Should we also add construction of roads to our 'duties' now?

And shameless Fashola said its not as bad as it is portrayed.

See big lie. You can lie for Africa Enugu and Onitsha I use to pass always. It's not up to 3hrs sef. Stop lying please

DonKachiERA:

This is Federal road not State roads. Ask FG to do it's work.

The Aba-Ikot Ekpene road was to be worked on but T.a Orji rather had all the funds to himself. Akpabio even volunteered to work on the road but the pot belied b1tch refused.

It's very sad

ORIENTATION101:
like The kerosene governor have anything to do before. rather than sprinkle kerosene on abians and complain FG neglect. while other governors re rehabilitating Federal roads in their domain and get refund from FG

which federal government is giving refund?


are you naturally dull or something?


Didn't you see where governors were complaining because Buhari said no refund for federal roads constructed by state government?

Olodo jatijati

What do you mean by T. A Orji rather had all the funds to himself?
Did FG award the contract to him?

Why then is he not being prosecuted of corruption?

Hmmm

those roads shown in the pics above are not bad yet to our category of badness,at least vehicles are still swimming past,if you drive and swim your way from okigwe to owerri,you will realize that Nigerians must be the most docile or most stupid people on this planet,how can we be living like this and still pretend we are human beings,federal government aside,how much will it cost imo state government to haul mixed waste materials from numerous quarries in okigwe and fill up the very bad spots,it's only in Nigeria you will see a government of misplaced priorities and myopic focus .

adeyemo001:
All the know is to mock Yoruba land roads especially Lagos.. Pot calling kettle black. Watch them giving one excuse and defence approach like "All load in Nigeyreia are badddnnn"

This sounds funny to you?

Problemkid1:
See big lie. You can lie for Africa Enugu and Onitsha I use to pass always. It's not up to 3hrs sef. Stop lying please

I am not dragging if it is 3hrs or 4hrs but what am saying is that the roads are too bad and as a result, it has claimed many lives. It needs serious attention

I'll say it again If I'm president, I'll nuke this particular state

Udeagbala through umueze to ahia nkwo is also federal road?
St Paul’s road to Faulks road is also federal?
PZ junction through eziama down to immaculate, then immaculate itself is also federal road?
What about road leading to osisioma depot, it is also federal road?
Osisioma down to eke akpara is also federal road?
Nicholas street at umungasi is also federal road?

If you must lie about a location, make sure you’re the only person that has been there.

mrvitalis:

The one that did have they refunded them ? ...most roads u guys post here about abia is federal road

Staro:



What do you mean by T. A Orji rather had all the funds to himself?

Why then is he not being prosecuted of corruption?

Aba got worst under T.A Orji.
He never worked any road nor maintained any.

DonKachiERA:
STATE OF FEDERAL ROADS IN ABIA STATE...OGA FASHOLA NEEDS TO SEE THIS

All the major federal roads are bad and they are the entry points.

State Governments can't even fix them since the FG have asked them to keep off Federal roads.

We have several Abians in this government at the Executive and Legislative levels. Hope they'll call the FG attention to these .

NOTE: This is Federal Roads, the responsibility of the Federal government not STATE government roads.
