If the Federal Government cannot maintain or reconstruct any of their existing infrastructure in the East, why not allow the East reduce their remittance to the federal government and use that money to work on all infrastructure in the East? Most of the horrible infrastructure projects in the East are federal government infrastructure. undecided

That's the bridge at the place Hausa people sell foodstuffs and livestock, before Hariz filling station.

That road and bridge was constructed between 1978 and 1979, and typically of Nigeria's federal government, nobody would care to inspect the bridge for any damages until it comes to this present situation.

The question i ask myself since umahi started inspecting federal roads is what did pmb achieve in terms of road construction with all the reckless borrowings?I thought it was only Edo state that had terrible federal roads until umahi started going round.I think we need to pass a legislation that from henceforth, minister of works must be civil and construction engineer with more than 10 years practice experience.

Terrible! All the FG roads in the SE are unmotorable yet if you hear how they overhype what FG have done down there, you may be tempted to think they have made alaigbo Eldorado.

Very poor federal infrastructure in the South East, this is why they are not passionate about Nigeria

Igbos are not concerned about that, what concerns them is that Tinubu is stealing Lagos money
