By December 2025, the Federal Government has assured Nigerians that Section 3 of the East-West Road, which runs 15 kilometers from Eleme Junction to Onne Junction in Rivers State, will be finished and accessible to the public.

During a tour of the project site in Rivers State, the minister of works, Dave Umahi, gave the assurance.

In addition, he further stated that the awaited Eleme section will be operational within the next ten days.

After conducting a press tour of the area, Umahi spoke about the economic significance of the road corridor, particularly its ability to facilitate the movement of important oil and gas infrastructure to the Onne region.

The minister spoke with representatives of Reynolds Construction Company (RCC), the project’s contractors, while accompanied by Tarilade Enwereama, the controller of works for Rivers State.

Enwereama boldly claimed that the road’s restoration project will last between 50 and 100 years.

Enwereama noted that “we expect this road to serve Nigerians for many decades” because it is being built to the highest engineering standards.

Umahi once more confirmed that Section 3 will be completed on time, including those that have been designated for flyovers.

He affirmed the Tinubu administration’s commitment to completing high-impact infrastructure projects by estimating the total cost of the ongoing construction work at 156 billion.

We are determined to finish this because it is a national economic asset. Umahi predicted that the entire Onne stretch will be accessible in 10 days and the Eleme portion will be open by December.

Since the work has begun, the Minister has made his ninth appearance at the site. His frequent inspections and tangible improvements on the ground indicate that Nigeria’s South-South region is now putting more emphasis on infrastructure development.

For all those who always know more than everybody, claiming that other roads have been neglected because of coastal road, shey una don see am.

Come 2027, opposition will have nothing to campaign with.

Obasanjo did it for 8 years, Yar’Adua did it for 2 years, Goatluck did it for 6 years and they all abandoned it. Now the god of Politics Emilokan JAGABAN has completed it in 2 years. Ariwo ko ni W

And yet some people have been claiming to be blind not to see what this government has been doing.

Even if you gave them recommended glasses, they can never see as their vision is permanently blurred

As a reminder, it took 10 lives and over 100 vehicles burnt beyond recognition for this administration to take a break from the phantom coastal road and devote funds to this road.

This is despite this administration being made aware of the bad condition of this existing road that currently services the role of the coastal road.

I hope the departed will be rewarded for their sacrifices to have a road properly done.

That road has been fixed by all government in power ,after 1/2 raining seasons due to traffic and topology, it goes bad.
What about the other sections like Ogoni to Akwaibom?
Ughelli to Patani. Ahoada to Mbiama. These were all fixed but due to soil type, raining seasons and flooding, the roads goes bad.
People make una leave politics.
Federal road are terrible. Visit the North. Ekpoma to Auchi. Aviele to Benin. Ikom to Ogoja. Wukari to gboko. Abegi na Rivers votes be all these gra gra for 2027.

I wish the opposition will hit Tinubu with the same salvos and propaganda as tinubu did to Jonathan, let me see how the druggie will survive that

shogz89:
who told you they took break for the Lagos coastal road

thatigboman:
completed? He said would be completed in December. Same Umahi that said that all federal roads would be completed in December 2024. And that's just a section in Rivers State. East-West Road goes from Akwa Ibom to Benin. Warri-Benin, which is part of East-West Road is a no-go area.
