What you should know Nigerians have been faced with the agony of dealing with the deplorable state of federal roads across the country. This has sometimes in the past necessitated the intervention of the National Assembly with calls on the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing to commence immediate repair of federal roads nationwide as they are in a terrible and pathetic state and in some cases not motorable. That the roads all over the country are in a terrible and pathetic state is not in doubt. There is hardly any state that can boast of having good motorable roads. Although the Federal Government through several initiatives like its Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Task Credit Scheme, Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) and others, has tried to improve the road infrastructure over the years, however, the road infrastructure deficit is quite huge. |
