Those ones can start with internal streets within the city, major roads are strategic to hand over to a non tested graduate engineers, though most of them are understudying those expats in major construction works.

If you see the quality of construction Julius Berger is doing in Zaria-Kano road you will marvel. Flood and gully erosion resistant

Indigenous contractors have failed us, some of them have even formed cabal against Umahi who is forcing them to do durable roads

...Ben ayade is not the new governor of cross river state...it's Bassey Otu that is the new governor....Ben ayade was former governor

JB is good but Lagos uses CECCEC cos they're cheaper and do the same quality. Dunno why most governors overlook them.

This is what a director in the ministry of works in the Lagos State government told me upon enquiry.

Are those not brown roofs I see?

You'd have thought there'd be none in the East.

There's nothing wrong in brown roofs but why lash out against Yoruba's because of it?

Otti is the man a swear. PDP wasted 24years that Abia State would have used and become Dubai...if no be PDP rigging wetin concern Ikpeazụ with governance...a crude, shameless tout.

Welcome to the New Abia State...Aba is now the cleanest city in Nigeria go there and see for yourself.

Otti abeg do fast fast make you come become governor of Oyo State. We need you badly, brown roofs 🟤🤎 want choke us to death, come help us develop Oyo State 😎

I think you missed my drift.

We just celebrated 63 years independence as a country, China for 74. It is not acceptable for Nigeria to depend on foreign help for basic engineering tasks. This is a direct indictment of both our education system, Nigeria's administrative policy and process.

Your country's growth will face hindrances if you don't address the issues of brain drain, capital flight, and hindering technology and skill transfer. Even China, as a policy, took all they can from the west (By fire, by force where they must) by insisting on certain parameters as rules of engagement.

Nigeria and Nigerians do not understudy anything. Nigeria's ruling class is colluding with foreign contractors who are skilled at giving kickbacks to corrupt government officials, which harms our national development. These over-invoiced contracts are shrouded in complex financing models, paid for in US dollars. How is the Naira ever going to breathe?.

Ccecc built the best road in uyo
Aka road

saintkeppy:


Yeah, true.

Senator Godswill Akpabio used CCECC to dualize a road with streetlights in Uyo &it's one of the best in the city, Top-Notch quality.

ottersberger:


The question you should have asked is: What happened to the thousands of civil and mechanical engineers our universities have produced and continue to produce.

Why do we still depend on expatriates to do basic engineering projects such as road design and construction in 2023?.

These are some of the questions you should have asked.

WhatchDoGG:


Uncle they CECCEC do quality jobs true but can't lace JB's shoes,They are not in the same bracket

Yet, he was bowing for that mandate thief on Lagos.

I didn't go through.

All I can say is Big Up man!!!

That road is something else, imagine traveling to Enugu from PH, one needs to enter Etchie, run all through and again still come just after Aba.

PDP rest in peace in Abia State.

It happened in Anambra State too.

Nigeria is still a 3rd world country!
China is Technologically ahead of us, until Nigeria adopt China's approach or other sysytem from Asian Tigers, nothing will work, notwithstanding we still have Good Nigerian construction firms doing fine, but no confidence from government to patronize them to deliver good jobs.

In my State, Akwa Ibom, an indigenous company HENSEK delivered a standard 6Lane dual Carriageway(Ring-Road3) in Uyo, spanning almost 10KM with Street lights. As someone who have good taste for smooth finishing, I was able to spot some grey areas in that road but I got encouraged that an Indigenous construction company owned by an indigene could deliver such a beautiful road, you need to see the road at night when the streetlights are switched on.
Most the time Foreign construction companies gives you good&smooth finishing.

Our Construction Industry, our Civil Engineers needs to be encouraged.

BarrElChapo:


Well I'm from Anambra state and I remember that in the days of Ngige as governor he used RCC strictly for road construction, most of those roads are still in perfect conditions till today eg. Amaubia-Nibo-Mbaukwu road but when Peter Obi became governor he tried to patronize local coys.

Inter Bau Construction Co. whose CEO is from Awka Etiti was awarded Ichida-Awka Etiti road and in one year the road washed away like literally.

In Awka town he patronized Pa Chuks Construction Co., Akiota works etc etc most of those roads did not outlive his administration.

When he wanted to then do the Federal road IDC constructed some part of the road Enugu-Onitsha federal road and some drivers of the road have said it's not too safe driving during rainy season cos it can be slippery but they did a fairly good job but since then IDC has not done another road to my knowledge in Nigeria.

In the Enugu part of Enugu-Onitsha federal road, Niger Cat was first awarded the road, then another construction company, these spanned years oo not until it was recently awarded to RCC, who are now delivering the job, now if you compare what RCC did to what IDC did you'd wish that the Anambra part was undone to be honest.

In Enugu metropolis when Sullivan wanted to rearrange the state he used mostly Setraco and Arab Contractors for most of the road even though I'm aware he used Master Holdings and all of those roads are still holding up today.

In Imo state, I once was a live broadcast of former governor Rochas berating contractors who obviously were indigenous coys that were awarded road construction but had either not done or delivered as at when due, where are those roads now.

At the heart of these corruption is but at least these foreign coys have a name to protect so they won't want to just do anything or take any amount of money for a job for the sake of it.

Imagine still voting PDP and APC and an average Nigerian wants change.. we can clearly see that a Majority of Nigerians are the reason why Nigeria have been backward.

Ethinicity and religion will finish you before you all in that country before you realize Nigeria cannot grow or work out until people become one.

One cannot help but wonder how our people intentionally support evil and expect an angel to intercede on their behalf. Can anyone explain to us how Okezie Ikpeazu secured 2nd tenure in Abia State considering that he is a dunce? I think we are our own worst problems.

Anambra State was retrogressive under Obiano and folks were shouting "Willie is Working". As soon as he left, everyone found their voices. It is ridiculous!

Another thing i like south shouth and south east is that they give road construction job to competent companies ...

Solid and long lasting road is assured..
