Mohisah:

U go dey East or South and be saying what is the harsh weather.

Come to Sokoto, ur mind go dey. Even ur AC cannot cool u durin the day😂😂

Ordinary Gwagwalada u go see how road don turn hair wave and ur car be bouncing on the road with no potholes o.


Brr mk we just grew say Naija weather hot na few place cool

that isnt what i asked you.

what is the harsh weather condition that Nigeria has?

Chikeluba25:
What?

I can't believe a minister of work is boasting that his road will last for 6yrs and people are celebrating it....

In Anambra, the Awka/Onitsha old road built by Chris Ngige in 2003 has lasted for 20yrs still solid.

Nigeria my country. The statement is very disappointing.

The people I feel sorry for…

Are those cheering this news.

If this isn’t Mediocrity I wonder what is!

6 years or 16 years, please explain for a world standard road construction

I pray so

I play so

jmoore:
6 years is for substandard job.

A good road should last minimum 15 years.

Minimum of 6 years before any maintenance is carried out. That's a quality work bro.

kokoA:
I hope so. These Chinese Buhari and co have been using sha, I doubt of their work will last two years.

So 6 years is standard?

What has broken down so far that was done by Buhari through the Chinese?

Darkjudge24:
I don't know why as Nigerians honest statements are hard to believe , in Nigeria of today do we have roads that last up to four years without any repair?

Yes, numerous.

lexy2014:


so you dodged bullet in obi and you are collecting bomb from tinubu

Tinubu's roads in Lagos then were quality. Even the current govs roads cannot match the roads Tinubu and Fashola built but Obi's own were a complete whitewash. Google is your friend.

Is Google your enemy?

You said you dodged a bullet in obi. Are you not collecting bombs from Tinubu at the moment?

What has all you wrote above got to do with my post?

Olodo.. as long as it is asphaltic pavement, you will need to do periodic and routine maintenance. The 15 years you are talking about is when the asphalt is about to crumble/expire. By then, you need to overhaul/scarify the asphaltic pavement and overlay with another asphalt.

25 years inclusive of maintenance...

6years my feet
A good road should exceed 10 years without showing any sign of repairs
These old people are sometimes dumb aswr,
Tho usually they’re appointed in arrears not of their expertise

It's way harder to depend your First Degree Project than to work as a politician in this country.

For the 15 years there is no maintenance? People just like attacking everything. Learn to read before commenting.

kenny714433:
A standard road should last 20 - 30 years before any major repairs. Umahi, make sure you represent the Civil profession well o.

Why are we quick to just attack everything being said?

The statement in a way is justified. The lifespan of a flexible pavement is actually 15 years. Let's even assume it is 20-30 years, are you telling me that there will be no maintenance carried-out on the road? Vehicle traction of the road surface and wear and tear due to vehicular movement won't occur on the road?

Now, if there will be maintenance, what does the maintenance involve?

I just don't understand why people just like tackling everything. You are very correct. Periodic maintenance will be done on the road and what the statement says is that repair will only happen after 6 years.

The idiots are here tackling a very simple statement.

AfonjaEmir:
The roads will be in the SE ..but we will still not vote for the scum bag..

All these Lamentations and drama, will not make IGBOs vote for Tinubu or APC.

NEXT!!

Your 5% vote is useless. We proved that in 2015, 2019, and 2023. Don't you learn? Why are you so dumb? In 2027, Tinubu will not come to the South East to campaign at all because your vote is useless

Karemarealty288:
Umahi just boostfully scored himself low......6years Road is substandard....all the newly sworn in ministers just dey release orgasms 💦 of promises...

And he was even assuring Nigerians

Rostikol:


In this our humid terrain? I think the climate and terrain affect the asphalt quicker than in cold countries.

A good job is a good job and will last for as long as possible. I can give you a practical example of a good road construction that has last 15 good years and still standing strong. You can go and verify

jmoore:

A good road should last minimum 15 years.

Engr Umahi should tell us the design lifespan of the roads first. Is it 100 yes, 50 yrs or what?

Engr Umahi should tell us the design lifespan of the roads first. Is it 100 yrs, 50 yrs or what? Maintenance of a road has no minimum time frame because a lot of factors are involved. If an accident occurs on the road and vehicles are burnt, will they wait for the 6 years to elapse before maintenance can be done on the road? It's from the design lifespan of a road that one will know if it's standard or not. If a road is designed for 100 years, be rest assured that, it will go way above the 100 years.

Penguin2:
Hope he will not be awarding the contracts to his companies like he did in Ebonyi and they ended up doing a terrible job?

Dave Umahi is a packaged fraud like Buhari.

Somebody Nigerians will get to know him for who he is.

Atleast, he has results... There is no politician who doesn't find a way to loot legal or illegally..

Do you think it's their salary that will make up for the money they spend on campaign...be reasonable..

The thing is, after any of this they should have results to show..

Ganduge is a criminal but no one can deny he hasn't done well in Kano, same as umahi and wike

You are the dumb, dull and daft one...
Asphalt road life spans is about 17 years..this is when the entire road will need a overhaul..
Due to our reckless drivers and climates..it only make sense that after half a decade .. some minor wear and tear requiring maintenance will occur .this is when minor repairs can be carried out .umahi is guaranteeing that it won't happen until after atleast 6 years for each road constructed..

3rd mainland is a practical example every administration always carry out new asphalt laying... This means that generally it under goes maintenance every 8 years simply because of the high vehicular movement no because the contractors aren't doing a good job


Definitely the standard of roads being executed by different companies are different...I am very sure the road JB is doing Abuja Kaduna kano highway will not show any sign of minor maintenance for atleast a decade..

Igbo votes are irrelevant, no serious presidential candidate should worry about Igbo votes

Not good enough sir, a standard asphalt road should last for minimum of 10years before any minor repairs

Engineers in the house, is six years not too small for a standard road to start attracting attention for repairs?

he said "MINIMUM"

naijaboy756:
Way to go

What is 6 years for a road? That’s a poor standard. 15 years should be the minimum.

Nigeria news is about hope.
Govt to do this
Govt to do that

Which vote is this one talking about? In 2027 your regional vote value must have reduced to 3% due to IPOB and UGM crisis, so who care if you guys vote for him or not?
