Umahi Storms Troubled Benin–Agbor Road Today as Gridlock Leaves Travellers Stranded

Benin–Agbor Road has descended into a major traffic nightmare, with travellers and motorists reportedly stranded for hours — and some even spending the night on the road.

As the gridlock worsens, damaged and muddy sections of the highway, poor drainage and ongoing reconstruction are making movement increasingly difficult, sparking protests and growing public anger.

Now, Minister of Works David Umahi is set to storm the Benin–Agbor–Asaba Road today for an inspection, amid mounting pressure on the Federal Government to address the worsening situation.

What is behind the crisis? Why has the rehabilitation dragged on? And can Umahi’s intervention finally bring relief to stranded travellers?

These are the roads Dave and his rudderless govt ought to have fix attention on, but their insatiable quest for unbridle corruption have becloud their sense of sound judgement.

He continues to storm

All motion, no movement

They say thr building coastal highway of fraud for SS.What shameful government
Why not use even 50% of this money to fix existing highways in nigeria at lightening speed and see Nigerians celebrate the government

Unless he used helicopter 🚁 the motorcade can never reach the areas on that road that he needs to witness with his own eyes

The hold up has lasted for up to 5 days now, the waybill I'm waiting for since a week is yet to reach me in owerri from lagos 😫

Coastal roads when many intra and inter states roads are in a terrible state is gross madness.

Same thing Amaechi did with the Kano - Maradi rail

Are our rulers mad or someone is ruling the country through them?

At least they are responding.

Clueless tinubu and his clueless team are more focused on building audio and white elephant coastal roads without any economic values than fixing existing dilapidated roads to easy the suffering of Nigerians.


Tueh.

Ozuor
Na now u wan tak action make I begin clap for u

Use an open mind to listen to this man, and you will know that they don't give a damn about the Nigerians suffering. He didn't even acknowledge the fact that people have slept on that road for days, he didn't even try to use soft words to comfort those that have lost their business such as the fish seller.

All that matters to them is how to praise President Bola Tinubu even in the face of total failure

You see this government
God will punish all of them one after the other

A proactive move by Honorable David Umahi

The root cause of the grid lock needs to be determined and addressed to avert future occurrence and same time ensure the project is delivered ahead of schedule and on budget.

Umahi has always proven to be closer to the grassroots and he just reaffirmed it again.

It's high time it's addressed urgently. With the video I saw recently of it, it ought to have been addressed before it got to this state, but it's better late than never

Before awarding the Kano-Maradi rail, Amaechi had completed the standard gauge Abuja-Kaduna rail inherited from Jonathan, awarded and completed the Lagos-Ibadan Rail, awarded and completed the Warri-Itakpe railway, and awarded the Kaduna-Kano railway. Amaechi was minister of transport and not minister of works but he is an achiever! Tinubu had only one job, connect Ibadan to Abuja and connect Itakpe in Kogi to Abuja and the whole country would have been practically linked by rail from the North to the South to the West. He chose to spend trillions on a 700km Coastal road that has long been commissioned at 47km and renamed after himself.

So the minister of works doesn’t have up to date information on one of the most important roads in Nigeria ?

SMH

Vote Peter Obi please!!!! Let’s get someone that can truly work for us!!!!! We don’t need new roads, we need existing ones fixeeed

there is nothing proactive about the move and what has grassroots got to do with construction of federal road.

Proactive, you say? This is reactive not proactive. A problem that has persisted since the administration came into power and the minister is responding today? They are still looking for the root cause of the problem after all these years.

There has to be public outcry before

There has to be public outcry before these clueless

There has to be public outcry before these clueless people know that every Nigeria roads need urgent fixing. Very unfortunate failures in govt.

They know what they are doing. It is only mega contract like that of the coastal road that can generate the type of fraud money they are looking to steal. Repairs and rehabilitation of road kick back is beneath them. It is not enough to just be greedy these days. It is how much greed you can fathom.

A cry has been answered.

Most of the funds are channeled to the coastal highway projects and they ignored the existing ones that need urgent attention.

You can say that again bcoz the coastal highway did not pass through your community.

Coastal highway is for Niger Delta people and communities and they deserve it.

Isn't it better than Ameachi that built railway to another country.

Inspect keh? is the visible damage in front of you not enough?

So, the government told you that they will not be able to to fix any existing highway because of the new highway?
Or every highway in Nigeria will be fixed at exactly the same time?
