Youths from the Igede ethnic group in Benue State on Tuesday took to the streets to protest the dilapidated condition of the Otukpo–Obi–Oju road, which connects their communities to other parts of the country.

Igede, one of the three major ethnic groups in Benue State, comprises Oju and Obi Local Government Areas located in the Benue South Senatorial District.

The area shares boundaries with parts of the Idoma land as well as communities in Cross River and Ebonyi states.

Wielding placards with inscriptions such as #FixOtukpoObiOjuRoad, the protesters blocked sections of the highway, demanding immediate intervention from the federal government to rehabilitate the route that links Benue to Cross River State.


The leader of the protesters, Matthew Adekpe, who spoke to journalists during the demonstration, lamented that the road had remained in a terrible state for decades.

Adekpe noted that the infrastructure was first constructed during the administration of former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, in 1988–1989, and had received no maintenance since then.

“This is the only federal road connecting Benue to Cross River through Otukpo, Obi, and Oju, and it has been neglected for 37 years.

When did a senator begin to take charge of contract execution
Be thinking before you type abeg

Davimuyi:
Oga senators don't do federal road .. stop displaying your ignorance

God1000:
Benue state politicians are the most wicked set of people in Nigeria

Exousiang01:
The contract for this road for has awarded and Senator Aba Morro is in charge.
I don't understand why everyone is silent.
Morro should be called out.
Senator Abah Moro has been given resources to fix that road.

As far as the FG is concerned that road should be under construction.

We may need to set up a government department to follow up on awarded contracts.

Sultanofpiglets:
You support APC...

Bloodshed and pain is your portion.

God1000:
Just look at the deplorable condition of this federal road, the senator representing Benue south, senator Abba Morro has done absolutely nothing despite getting billions of naira for the construction of this road, and he passes through this road to Oju and Obi LGAs every now and then

The current governor is also another failure, the marginalization, nepotism and hatred in Benue state is sickening

God1000:
Benue state politicians are the most wicked set of people in Nigeria

David mark was senator for sixteen good years and he did nothing on this road, today he's the national chairman of ADC, very wicked man
