Obasanjo is to blamed for poor job done on Onitsha- Owerri. I remember then clearly. 3 companies biddied for the road with Julius Beger bidding highest and CCC ( a company that had never worked in any federal highway)bidded least and the contract was awarded to CeeC. Those guys couldn't do it. Another govt had to give julius beger contract to do part of the road.
If the contract had been awarded to julius beger ab initio, these issues wount arise

too bad!

Federal government, national assembly should pass and sign a bill for states to have autonomy..state autonomy where states are in control of their resources and money they generate from the resources.. with this states will have enough money to do their roads...the federal roads, high way without waiting for the federal government to come and do it which can take many years before the federal government agrees to do the federal roads,. there is s lot of bad federal roads in nigeria...state autonomy is the solution

There has to be something that can be done to the terrain in the south east so that roads can remain good

All hail Umahi!!!

Please this is for urgent South South importance, the Onitsha -Owerri Dual Carriage Federal Highway which is the safest route for South South people to avoid being killed by UGM has collapsed due to Erosion, kindly intervene ASAP as the road serves as the only safe route for South South commuters. 😟😟😟😟😟

Interesting claim! So are you having us believe that the portion of the road that was built by Julius Berger was handled better than this nonsense here which looks like they simply poured coal tar top on loose soil??

Lots of things actually. But I don't understand why the people continue to remain with hands tied as I am sure erosion doesn't simply target federal roads in the region.

Perhaps it's best they come to Lagos and south west to learn.
There is nothing bad in studying and acknowledging intelligence

Wow

Ecosystem4u:
Well our son is the minister for works althoug in an illegitimate gorvernment, trust he will sort and fix most death traps of federal roads in the East Before the Real President takes over. If he extends olive branch to retain Umahi in his present portfolio who am I to dispute, ozuoh!

Hungry turncoat.
The same Umahi you people insulted for joining APC.
See them already licking Tinubu's asz over ordinary road.
APC means the best for Alaigbo but na foolishness no make many Ndigbo gree.

I have no clue what your response means at all or how it applies to this topic here.

Oh dear.

What can actually STOP these erosion??


May we be able to deliberate in order to find lasting solutions to this.

Hmmm ..... is it now something must be done? Didn't they see the erosion slowly coming towards the road? .... what were they thinking?... what were they expecting? People without vision elect leaders without foresight. R.I.P in advance to thise who would be swallowed when the road suddenly caves in.

Generalmystic:

Nigerians are stranded on that road, lets help amplify this so that relevant authorities will do something.

on nairaland? are the authorities on nairaland?

Generalmystic:

the erosion has been encroaching in the full glare of everyone but was left unattended to

Passionate888:
Even that road that leads to the Enugu express way from the Onitsha road is bad

Even Abuja Enugu Express road

South East have endured so much rubbish from Nigeria.

Partner time to start looking inward. What exactly has the Niger Delta D C done for that region. You agitated for the commission creation and Billions were given to the commission you still yapping that you have endured rubbish. Please save me the crocodile tears on this one.

These Okoro Savages no go ever blame their useless Politicians and leaders. Instead, dem go dey blame Yoruba and Federal government.

Very funny pple. Cannibals and Savages at best.

ALL I SEE IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND STOLEN MILLIONS/BILLIONS.... WHY?


GIVEN THE TERRAIN OF THE SOUTH EAST... A NEW ROAD DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND CONSTRUCTION WAS PROFERRED.

THE THEN MINISTER OF WORKS UNDER OBASANJO..OMOLUMEHN? MET WITH JULIUS BERGER, SETRACO, RCC AND OTHER MAJOR PLAYERS IN THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.

IT WAS POLITICIANS WHO OWNED OR WERE BENEFACTORS THAT KICKED AGAINST THE NEW DESIGN BECAUSE IT WAS MORE EXPENSIVE, MORE DURABLE AND LESS PROFITABLE.

THE RIVER NIGER WAS TO BE DREDGED FOR UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF COARSE AGGREGATE SAND.

MORE BRIDGES AND FLOATING LANES WERE TO BE CONSTRUCTED BUT ITS OUR GREEDY IGBO LEADERS THAT KICKED IT OUT.

THE MAN QUIETLY CROSSED BACK TO FLAG OFF THEN NOTORIOUS ORE-BENIN HIGHWAY AND CONSTRUCTION STARTED.

TODAY MOTORISTS HAVE USED THAT SECTION TILL DATE AND OTHER PHASES ARE ONGOING BUT AT A SLOWER PACE.

THE CONTRACT VARIATIONS INVOLVED WITH SOUTH EAST ROADS CAN BUILD A TWO LANE ROAD AROUND NIGERIA.

You are very stupid, instead of you guys to keep praying for your region to witness high level of development ,you are busy praising IPOB men and called Nigeria all sorts of derogatory names, go and call Simon Ekpa to fix the road for you, bunch of ingrates people....

reiddecuti:
Can it ever get well in Nigeria. The decades of negligence in all the sectors has caught up with us. And 8 years of Buhari single handedly quadruplet, exacerbated and compounded the problems. Buhari alone achieved (negativity) what all Nigeria leaders (both military and democratic) before him from 1960 to 2015 could not achieve together. He even broke his own record as military leader in 1983. What an achievement.


Now, the followers, the leaders, the people, and the country is overwhelmed and confused, not knowing where to start in getting the problem solved.


The funny if all these things are, the more time the country waste to man up and tackle the overwhelming problems head long, the more it will be exacerbated.

What has Buhari got to do with having a good drainage system in Anambra?!.
Stop making noise eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwuuuuu!.

This is a natural disaster agreed. Which on is this trash you’ve posted?

Benin-Ore road had been in disrepair for ages, I didn’t see them turn it into a regional propaganda
