See before and after pictures of Enugu-Onitsha expressway.

For many years this was the fate of Ndigbo before President Tinubu 👇😳🙆

This Enugu-Onitsha Road was impassable but today the story has change.

You mean to tell me that we had roads that bad, yet the Buhari govt. was busy constructing world class railway and tarred roads to Niger Republic?.
Interesting.

Useless Things want our roads to remain in terrible shape, so that they will have something to be Wailing about

This road reconstruction was not conceived by Tinubu administration
They didn’t award the contract
Tinubu government have not spend one kobo on this road yet taking credit

This is an MTN road done with a tax credit
Conceived and awarded by Buhari administration

Don’t get why Tinubu wants credit

This is total transformation. I wonder why things like this gets hate in return rather than commendation

Which one did pdp do? At least one can point to five to seven projects done by APC in the south -east

You Tinubu's supporters from the SW are insufferable. Didn't you all sing Buhari’s praises until his last day in office only to start insulting him thereafter? Buhari awarded this road project in question via the MTN tax credit scheme. An initiative that Tinubu has now stopped. While Buhari was constructing the train to Niger, he was also constructing the second Niger bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway ( a perfectly fine road which Tinubu just awarded a contract for its reconstruction) and several other projects. As far as verifiable and tangible projects go, Tinubu is still far behind Buhari even though he has since borrowed far more loans.

What do you expect from achievement bandits and professional propagandists? Legacy is achieved, not claimed.

I heard MTN go around the world building roads.

In truth Tinubu tried in road rehabilitation in the south east. Making a south easterner works minister was purposeful and Umahi is living up to it. That doesn't however mean the people are not hungry.

Was it not MTN that renovated this road? The government might have done finishing touches to the renovation but MTN conceived and started it.

Because the project was completed during his tenure
He could have stopped it for instance claiming you guys didn't vote for him
Let me give you an example
Gas pipeline is being constructed from Shagamu to Ibadan
But because Shellgas has an interest in that corridor and since Seyi Makinde is their contractor they contracted him to terminate the contract. The problem is NIPCO has a 25 year licence to supply gas to the entire south west. They headed to the court
Result:
Project stalled due to politics

tinubu is taking credit of how peoples wife are getting pregnant

Seun I don't know why u allow this poll, which one is which infrastructure will be beneficiary to South East

Good road or Baby factory.... North that produces Almajiri what will u say about it

That road has always been used for political purposes for donkey years.

Completed ? Lol it’s not complicated in fact they haven’t done 20% of the road

Do you have problem understanding basic English?

Tell me exactly what Tinubu have to do with this road just one

What kind of poll is this on which infrastructure will be good for the SE?This doesn't make sense to me for a forum of this magnitude.

City boy doing what city boys do. Jagaban, no bitterness.

No no no, this is utter rubbish, just wait next year when Obi becomes president to see him construct world standard roads and not this nonsense.

Omo! Tinubu can never please this people. Even if Tinubu put gold for their street, the hatred don dey their mind already.
Why?
You guys forget that the president can also stall the project by making just one phone call, even as una say no be him start the project

Enugu Onitsha federal road na MTN do am. MTN is so nice, so Tinubu government will not pay every naira spent.
Listen oga, in 2022, the Federal Executive Council approved MTN Nigeria to take over the completion and rehabilitation of the expressway under the Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme (Executive Order 7). Under this scheme, companies finance eligible federal road projects and recover the cost through future tax credits. This is an order by fPMB, agreed to and monitored by the FG as a means of funding, just like other borrowings and means of funding projects. If FG via ministry and minister for works paused or canceled it, or didn't monitor and follow through, nothing will happen and the road will not be completed. It seems you've not seen politicians that came into power and started erasing and canceling everything their successor wanted to do or did. No worry, in fact, let's thank FIFA or Trump for the road, e no stop wetin you dread for January.

proven himself to be the best president by fixing a road in this century? Sometimes I wonder about those I share the country with. No carry dis mentality go outside Naija.

The Tax credit in road construction is simply govt not collecting the amount of tax MTN owes the govt directly, but asking them to pay it to the contractor.

If a man owes me money and i ask he use that debt he owes me to pay directly a car dealer i just financed a car with, then it means the debtor bought my car?. what a weak logic from a comment above.

No na, Na jonathan do am back then na

Those who wail about terrible roads after eight years of APC’s Buhari are doing it because they want Remi Tinubu to put akara in their mouth to stop wailing about hunger in the absence of promised jobs for earning a living in dignity on the basis of 70k minimum wage.

Are you one of those who got the 50 million jobs promised by the master strategist of balablu bulaba progreThief politics

Any idea how we can repay the huge debt of Tinubu, if he fails to deliver on promises of jobs?

APC is truly All Promises Cancelled.

OkCornel:
Dear sycophants

On August 29 2023, Tinubu’s government promised to create 50 million jobs and revive the economy.

This is almost one year. How far with your messiah’s plan?

Where is the economic revival? Where are the jobs?

Sebi you guys didn't see anything good in buhari you are always abusing him, you said sort of thing he was a jubril , he was lifeless
