It seems your advice will be good for yourself too.

Please, do pause and consider carefully before commenting on topics like this...
Especially if you don't live in PH/Rivers.

The fact that this is apparently being done only on the RIVERS STATE section of the express, will tell any discerning person that the road project was most likely initiated by the Rivers State Government (Of course, in hopes of getting refund from the FG in the future)
Of course, many State Government do this/or has done this in the past (just in case you are among those who believe that once a project is ongoing at a federal road, it must then be an FG project)

This is not to argue who is better between Rivers Gov & FG, or who should take the glory. It's just to set the records straight.

So, be well guided my friend.
Thank you.
Are you certain that the road is being constructed by River's state government?

Please it is not.. besides the 78 billion wike is demanding from FG is the money AMAECHI used to build federal foads
DrayZee:

I think this is the road that Wike used Rivers money to construct...and started waiting for Buhari to pay Rivers back.

If it is, then I think it’s okay to say Wike did the project.

The road is carried out in sections..the blogger is reporting on ABA to portharcourt section being built by CCECC there is the section from Enugu to okigwe that Arab contractor I believe or RCC is constructing..there is the okigwe umuahia to aba section..
The project is fully FG funded..wike hasnt built any Significant FG road
KayyDee:


Please, kindly check well before commenting.

This is Part of the PH - ENUGU Expressway instead.

East-West road only crossed the road at Eleme junction.

Again, the fact that this is apparently being done only on the RIVERS STATE section of the express, will tell any discerning person that the road project was most likely initiated by the Rivers State Government (Of course, in hopes of getting refund from the FG in the future) Many State Government do this/or has done this in the past (just in case you are among those who believe that once a project is ongoing at a federal road, it must then be an FG project)

Google is ur Friend..
Stop spewing lies because ur not aware..the Bodo bonny bridge and about 40km being built by Julius Berger is a federal government project...
East West road is a federal government project...
The international airport terminal bubu commissioned is 100 percent FG project..ABA portharcourt express road is handled by CCECC and is fully FG funded..that road is part of the Enugu portharcourt express road.. Which various sections like Enugu to okigwe..okigwe umuahia..and umuahia to aba...handled by Arab contractor and RCC ..they are all under construction....or u want to tell me wike will build his own section with state money and smile at FG for building other sections with FG money coming from oil..
KayyDee:


Exactly my bro,

Indeed, most people rush to comment on a project they may know nothing about, just to glorify a government they are supporting.

I for one, believe this project is most likely a Rivers State Government project.

To the best of my knowledge, there was no Federal contract awarded for the reconstruction of Enugu-Umuahia-Aba-PH Expressway.

Rivers being a very rich state tend to do their section of Federal roads after waiting for FG long enough without answer.

They did it with the road leading to Owerri/IMO State, whereby travellers enjoy their trip till they get to Omerelu, then it's a case of nightmare down to Owerri, starting from the Imo State boundary.

Mynd44 come see ooo.

This is like a drop in the ocean.

This area of Nigeria is supposed to be looking like Dubai by now if not for the roguish governance system and political structure created by Arewa - a horrible situation some dubious people will ban discourse on NL.

Very short distance road that's been in construction for about 3 years still they haven't been able to complete it.... Nonsense, the section connecting oyigbo from aba is a complete disaster..... I travelled through and fro that road to Aba on Thursday... A total mess, some lanes are completely gone and none existent ..... I mean elephant grass has taken over on a federal High way linking pH to the commercial city of aba. Nothing to hype this administration about.

This is rubbish. Absolute rubbish. The distance from Port-Harcourt city to Abia State boundary is 9km and they've been on this 9km since 2015 whereas what FG promised was 8 lane from Port-Harcourt to Osisioma to be completed in 2019. If 9km could take 5 years then 50km will take 27years.

Oga travel and see... Nothing is happening there. The sections you mentioned ve been under construction for over 3 years with little to show for it... So relax and drink water

They show us on NL a few kilometers of dual carriage way in PH as big achievement



Mynd44. I am disappointed.



How can some NL mode ban discussion on a thread about the 90 days ultimatum given to the FG by leaders of SS, Middle Belt, SE, and SW for a new Nigeria constitution or dissolution of Nigeria?


Mynd44, please unban the thread now!!

Yeah, alright. So calling an ongoing project “mediocre” before it’s even finished is the way forward?

This is an update on the 8- lanes federal highway linking Port Harcourt and Obigbo in Rivers state. This particular road equally links parts of eastern Nigeria with Niger Delta. This road has been really dilapidated for many years until now.

Don't mind the OP, he is just a mischief maker, there is truly nothing like obigbo but Oyibo, all those ipob terrorists won't let us be.....the road is the PH section of PH - Enugu Express highway (10lane) under expansion and Reconstruction in Rivers state by Rivers government hoping to be refunded some day by the FG....
