People in Mararaba are currently going through it. A video making the rounds shows residents, including women and children, squeezing through a small hole in a concrete wall and carefully climbing over sharp rebar just to get past the construction site. The on-screen text begs the government to provide an alternative route because the current situation is terrible.

Lauretta Onochie shared it with a sharp caption asking what Nigerians did to deserve this kind of treatment from Tinubu’s government. The clip has sparked the usual back-and-forth. Some people are angry at the government for not creating proper diversions while the big flyover project goes on. Others are annoyed at the residents for risking their lives that way and insist that every serious construction comes with temporary pain.

The project itself is a major elevated road and flyover meant to finally fix the notorious Mararaba traffic that has frustrated commuters for years. Nasarawa State is handling it, and completion is expected later this year. In the long run it should make life easier. Right now though, daily movement has become a real struggle for people who live and work around the area. The video captures that struggle in the most visual way possible.

What about once the road is done and they're reaping the rewards?

I’m pretty sure there’s another way around that tunnel, and since those people chose to go through it, they should be arrested and warned.

That's not a federal government project. That's the Nasarawa state government project being handled by Triacta Nigeria limited. Triacta, a Lebanese company doesn't really care for the immediate impact and disruption their projects have on the lives of people but that's not really on them. Their is a state government ministry charged with making sure they should but do they care?
