The road needs drainage and other auxiliary routes. That's too long of a stretch without adjacent roads. If criminals block the main highway, o ti lo. If there are issues that need repairs, what will be the alternate option or options...maybe they want to sell the lands there so estates can develop along the main road and create auxiliary routes. We need to do better planning.

Lagos-Ibadan has been congested, and there are no alternate roads even for short maintenance work. We need to do better and introduce tolls. Let private companies build faster routes and toll them, allowing others to use the longer free routes. Pick your choice.

Good road on empty community? 😀 North is Nigeria biggest problem... Very soon they will start destroying this projects under the pretence of protest...Animals 😏

The man de do like say the money come from em personal pocket 😂

This is very commendable from Mr projects, everyone in FCT is happy to have WIKE as FCT minister

Leave Wike to do his job at his place. He is just about 2 years as a fvt minister and he is already achieving more than all the abokis did when combined!

When a project don't have accurate details of its lifespan, maintenance, cost, economic benefit...it's white elephant project.

We've grown past the period of just pictures without accountability. The earlier Nigerians wake up and disregard media hype the better to get answers

Drainages on a flat open terrain with no population density on the stretch......it's a rural road which connects several rural areas and projected traffic isn't expected to be high at least for now......why build alternative route same time you are building perhaps the first road in that axis which will all know shouldn't exceed 20-30% capacity......about terrorism,the terrain is flat and too close to the seat of power for such an operation to be successful,this isn't borno that is too far flung with so much ungoverned spaces.

blamingthedevil:
Which Lagos - Ibadan ( or you mean Lagos - Ibadan Expressway) is congested? When did you drive on the road ?

Bluntemperor:
A good observations.
Let the various governments - take necessary steps in the critical Areas of -Observations.e.g drainage is important in all roads construction 🚧.
- Maintenance of Roads are Critical- year in and out- to enable the Roads to last longer.
- All Roads MUST have Alternative Exit - to enable adjacent movement.

MasterTeeUSA:
So Abuja did not experience terrorism in the past. Interestingly yall will wonder why there is flooding ...if you can excuse proper planning and drainage, it shows why we are where we are. You dont create drainage due to population density. Drainage helps to elongate the lifetime of projects like road. Drainage helps to divert and prevent erosion. It also helps with development, because drainage would not be necessary and people would not build across drainage plains (except stupid Naija people).

Go and learn from Dubai and other well developed countries. In 5 yrs, we will be back to doing the needful or return to do repairs. What is what doing is worth doing well.

Wike is doing a good job.

aribisala0:
Dubai?
Sorry but you are quite stupid

Lithiumite:
I really hope the attached pics answers your gibberish about drainages on rural outback roads with such terrain...... terrorism happened in Abuja in one off incidences and not territorial take overs like blowing roads and carving out territories.

I really marvel at you guys ability to conjure all manner of irreverent empty rhetoric to condemn your country at every turn which leaves you in a constant state of dystopia.....get a life dude!!

aribisala0:
the road need s drainage? Does every road need drainage?
How nany millimeters of rain falls there?

Make e no be say you no talk

People just open their mouth to talk nonsense

Sometimes it is better to be silent

MasterTeeUSA:
It makes me wonder, if you are an Engineer...then again, do you know about stressors and tensors? compression and tension? You just want to insult...go and study. We know people like you.

[b]Poor drainage creates many problems for both users and road owners. Typically these are:

1) Traffic safety (hydroplaning and ice), poor drainage is a safety issue. Water may accumulate on the road like it does in ponds. Any accumulated water creates a risk of hydroplaning when the roads have rain on them. A wet road surface reduces friction which leads to longer distances needed to brake vehicles. Surface water can freeze during the night which can create an ice covered road. When this happens roads may become very slippery and hard to drive vehicles on.

2) Uncontrolled water flows and Culverts on roads can cause erosion. Small diameter and clogged culverts can cause water to flow towards the road and produce erosion. Water exiting from culverts can similarly cause erosion when it discharges directly on to erosive soil. The sensitive soil types for erosion are silt, silty moraine and sand. Vegetation can actually reduce erosion.

3) Reduced bearing capacity in the sub grade and road structures causing permanent deformation. Poor drainage and moisture is a main contributor to permanent deformation on roads. The earlier road projects in the United States have shown that in the Northern Climates permanent deformation is the main cause of undesirable rutting on low travel volume roads. This can result in reduced traffic safety, increased driver health issues, lowed bearing capacities, and higher costs for road owners and users.

4) Differential frost heaves tend to exhibit poor drainage when the road is not maintained as it should be. Frost heaves themselves cause unevenness and cracking on road systems.

5) Reduced pavement life time and increased pavement management costs. The most important factor triggering the need for paving is poor quality drainage.

By improving the drainage conditions during construction and in critical sections of road systems; By maintaining these road systems it will increase the pavement lifetime by 1 ½- 2 times the life span of an unmaintained road. The conclusion is that if drainage maintenance and preventative maintenance is done properly it can lead to major savings for owners of roads and parking lots. Saving time and money by annual maintenance costs for paved road systems benefits everyone who comes in contact with these paved roads.[/b]

MasterTeeUSA:
lol...coming from you... it's a compliment

aribisala0:
This is a rural road in agricultural territory

All these empty words makes you sound empty and unintelligent

MasterTeeUSA:
Folks like you will never be wrong. So because it is rural and agriculture, the rules on road pavements do not apply? You are very intelligent and full
