Soon Abia Government will start to use Rock for road construction without giving any thought about the effect on Vehicle Tyre's and shock.

Port-Harcourt road Aba urgently needs these cement or rock roads.

Most Roads in Port Harcourt constructed by Amaechi and others continued by Wike were constructed this way. The difference is that after cement casting asphalt is still layed on the road.

This is a nice approach to the issue of roads in Nigeria...just hoping that the road is more durable and will last longer than the common asphalt roads we have in this country. A creative approach mr governor.

Cement for roads?

Cement based roads are much more durable than asphalt roads. However, they are very harsh on tyres and cause them to wear out quickly.

The move will save the government money in the long term, but will cost the road users more in the short term.

The bad roads have long been costing road users.

You are probably a quack , otherwise you will know that asphalt doesn't last long.
No one is disputing that cement costs more but it is much more durable.

Whao! One man's meat another man's poison. While we say kudos to the Government, we advise road users to beware of those network of roads in their own interest.

The only Governor with mission and vision

Kudos to the man

Let Gov. Ikpeazu pour most of Abia state funds in rehabilitation of Aba. Igbos are with him.
Umuahia has had most of the pie in the last 15 years.
No state was created for development only in the state capital, as it is in Imo state.

Did they add saliva to d one for road construction? My guy they are the same

They are different. I've worked in a cement company. The cement used for heavy duty construction is different and more expensive. It's mostly used for bridges, flyovers, underpass, highrise buildings and most recently cement paved roads.

rawtruth:
But Dangote informed Nigerians during an interaction session with the business community and reporters that roads built with cement last a minimum of 40 years and are cheaper compared to asphalted roads. How come this "10-20 years" durability and the "higher cost?". Someone isn't telling the truth.

Dangote might be saying the truth. I have being to his cement factories before, they are paved with cement roads. Recently he commissioned a 20km road using this technology in Ibese, Yewa north local Government of Ogun state. I was there and I saw it.
Secondly a 40km road was built in Ghana in the 1960s, popularly known as Tema motoway...that road is very much alive the last time i plighed the road early this year.

Asphat softens in heat. It's a terrible idea to use it in the tropics.

Asphalt needs to be resurfaced after a few years, cement is fine for a long time after being set.

Cement is the best material for roads in Nigeria. Engineering companies prefer asphalt because they save on material costs and gain on maintenance fees.

Re: Abia State Pioneers Cement Based Roads. Daily Times. by Nobody: 6:23pm On Sep 20, 2015

Good one...I hope the cement was gotten from Ibeto Cement and not Dangote. We need to patronize our own and leave all these abokiiproducts

My friend I didnt say asphalt is more durable than cement. I said it is cheaper. In construction you have the weight the cost vs other things. This is wastage of the highest order. With our poor maintenance culture, this road is not sustainable because concrete/rigid pavement is difficult to repair.

Cement might be more expensive to repair/lay but it is less likely to crack in heat than asphalt, assuming it was laid properly in the first place.

I agree. But will you buy a Range Rover just because you want comfort or a VW Golf. Most countries in the world use Asphalt for their road even the developed countries. Dont be deceived. Concrete pavement are mostly used in urban areas road networks

Most of these 'developed' nations are in colder climes so it make sense to build with asphalt and even then the construction companies do so knowing that they will be called back to refurbish the road shortly. These companies are thinking of the bottom line at all times.
