Governor Peter Mbah, today undertook an unannounced on-the-spot inspection tour of the ongoing 44.1km Enugu-Ugwogo Nike-Opi-Nsukka road construction by his administration, describing it as a critical socioeconomic infrastructure for the people of the state.

Mbah also visited identified security flashpoints on the road, which he said would be immediately fixed through infrastructural interventions and the setting up of a forward base.

This was even as the CEO of the construction firm, COMAG Construction Company Limited, Cosmas Agu, commended the government for the proper financing of the project, saying the company had no reason not to complete the project by October, the reviewed deadline.

Speaking to newsmen after the tour, Mbah expressed satisfaction with the work, vowing that the administration would not rest on its oars until the project was completed.

"We are very happy with the pace of work here. We have also paid attention to the quality because this is going to be a major highway for us by the time we are done. We are also interested in the timeline because we have given the contractor a strict timeline.

“We have reviewed the work programme, and the agreement is that this project will be delivered in October 2026. We don't want to sit back in our office and at the end of the day be disappointed. What the team is doing is to be sure the project is being executed in accordance with the timeline and quality. We are satisfied with the speed and I am confident that the contractor will deliver,” he stated.

On the security flashpoints on the road, Mbah said: “Again, this road has also been one of the flashpoints of security challenges in our state. So, what we have also done here today is to go to the exact locations where we have security breaches on this road every now and again, and we have basically found a solution that will ensure those breaches do not continue on this road.

“We have also identified what to do, and we have agreed with the contractor on some quick fixes to do there. Most importantly, we are also going to have our forward operating base there to deal with that.

“The primary responsibility of every government is to ensure the security and safety of citizens. That is why I thought it wise to get to those flashpoints and ensure we put in place measures that will eliminate any such threats,” he concluded.

Also speaking to reporters, the CEO of COMAG Construction, Cosmas Agu, while expressing satisfaction with the funding of the project, said the firm had divided the project into several segments where work was going on simultaneously, assuring that the road would be ready by October.

“As you could see, we have gone through the road with the Governor today. I do not think there is a need for concern. We are going to meet the timeline. The funding is there. We have no problem with funding. We have the equipment here. We have experienced engineers.

“Again, we divided this construction into segments. NOWAS to T-Junction is one segment. Zero kilometre to T-Junction is one segment. T-Junction to Elim Estate is one segment. Elim to Ugwogo is one segment.

“Within these segments that I just mentioned, we have three bridges and work is going on simultaneously at the three sites.

“Another segment is coming from Opi. We are advancing seriously.

“October is our deadline and we are fighting strongly to deliver,” he asserted.

Swears - Nigeria Na still a "big for nothing"!

Over the weekend, I had a supervision to do in Senegal.

Flew in from my base to Dakar... Supervision was meant to take place at Sally... over 110km from Dakar...

The entire road network was freaking smooth... If you know Senegal well, Dakar to Sally is about 110km.

These things were done without fanfare. No noise...!

Why TH are we celebrating road construction in Nigeria in 2026 like it's rocket science, when relatively poorer countries are doing these things effortlessly?

It's a good thing that infrastructure is being put in place, but why does this have to make the news?

Next thing now, you'll start seeing tribal wars.... Upon tiny project wey dey above an entire sovereign nation of over 200 million people!

MEGAWATCH:
Road painter, mention the world class construction companies that did the road?

Is Ogun state not richer than all the States in south east?

Why are they afraid of using world class construction companies to construct their roads if your governor is sincere with himself?

Keep packaging your credit card fraudster abeg.

😂😂

This SW guys sha. You guys only knows how to hide your leaders that are below average.

No Governor in SW is currently performing well than any SE governor.

SE don't hide their leaders that is not working. You supposed know that.

Even Ogun state that shares boundary with Lagos have bad roads.

You're even posting roads without drainage as standard roads. Those roads will not last more than two years.

The problem is that most of you don't travel out of your region, so you thought SW is the best region but whenever statistics comes out it's always opposite 😂

Agreed I am not ready for any cho cho cho.
Dapo Abidion is the worse governor in the SW today, now my challenge n claim is that as bad as he is Dapo Abiodun is still beta than the best governor from the East.

To prove this, for any governor you chose from the East list n post a photo of their COMPLETED project n I will list 2 project for each 1 you listed Dapo Abiodun the failure as completed. If there is any single project any governor from the East as completed n I do not have a project n it photo for then you win. I am talking about your best governor in the East because if I say Sanwolu you start wailing Lagos earn more revenue.

Ogun earn about same or even less compare to Enugu Abia or Anambra so take up the challenge let me disgrace you. Let see who shield failures like Obi that spent 8 years without building a single school yet he his the best you have to show.

Dapo Abiodun you deride as a failure is way beta than those you celebrate as the best from the East. Take up my challenge if you doubt. No time for cho cho cho.
