Unbelieveable!! What the ineffective bufoon, First Executive Nigerian leader from Eastern Region, since after the Civil war, GEJ, could not do in 6 Years, an honest President Buhari, from far away Katsina is now doing within a year and half in office.

Shame on all wailers from the Eastern Region who think the patently corrupt pdp speakes for the Easterners.
GEJ awarded the contract during his tenure. The work was still in progress when your Dullard Buhari refused stopped payments.

The road has further dilapidated over this period.

When next you are not sure of what you are about to write, get aid from google.

Ignorance is a disease.

A positve move from the president. The SE has been neglected for so long. But in my own opinion, I think its a political move geared towards 2019 elections to try to bag-in enough SE votes since he can't be assured of SW votes because of the rift with Tinubu.

MEANWHILE... Boko Haram besieging villages in Chibok area, say leaders

Associated Press (AP)

HARUNA UMAR and MICHELLE FAUL

Associated PressNovember 22, 2016

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Boko Haram fighters are overrunning villages near the northeastern Nigerian town of Chibok, forcing hundreds of people to flee as the insurgents loot and burn in the area where nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped in 2014, local leaders said Tuesday.

"Chibok is now under Boko Haram siege," the chairman of the Chibok local government area, Yaga Yarkawa, told journalists Tuesday in Maiduguri, the birthplace of Nigeria's homegrown Islamic extremist group some 130 kilometers (80 miles) northeast of Chibok.

The accounts of Boko Haram violence around Chibok, along with multiple suicide bombings in Maiduguri city and attacks on army outposts raise doubts about military and government claims that the 7-year-old insurgency is nearly defeated. Instead, the rebels have stepped up attacks as the rainy season draws to an end, making them more mobile.

Nine villages within 25 kilometers (16 miles) of Chibok town have been razed in the past two weeks with the most recent attack at Thlaimaklama at the weekend, Yarkawa said.

Boko Haram is employing scorched earth tactics, rustling livestock, looting crops just ready to harvest, and burning homes and what crops they cannot carry, he said. "Contrary to claims by government and security operatives, Chibok is not safe."

It's not known if anyone has been killed because people are too scared to go back to the deserted villages, civilian self-defense fighter Bulama Abogu said. No soldiers have intervened, he said.

Many of the villages fringe on the Sambisa Forest, where Nigerian security forces have been carrying out near-daily air bombardments and ground attacks in which they have freed thousands of Boko Haram captives and cut food supplies.

The forest stronghold was where Boko Haram initially took 276 schoolgirls kidnapped from the government high school at Chibok April 14, 2014. Nigeria's government last month secured the first negotiated release of 21 Chibok girls. Another Chibok girl escaped captivity in May and one was rescued in an army raid earlier this month. The government says it is conducting negotiations with Boko Haram for the freedom of nearly 200 Chibok girls remaining in captivity.

The chief of army staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, last week insisted that "the terrorists have been defeated" and said the army is conducting "mop-up operations aimed at ensuring that we clear the rest of them."

That is disputed by former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who said at the weekend that "The insurgents still occupy a specific geographical space. They still retain the capacity for occasional deadly attacks. Many citizens in the zone still remain vulnerable and live in fear."

Some Boko Haram fighters are moving south into east-central Taraba state, according to some recent reports. There are fears that as the extremists come under greater military pressure Boko Haram fighters will disguise themselves as nomadic Fulani herders, who are blamed for deadly conflicts for land and water with farmers in central Nigeria, said analyst Jacob Zenn.

The Islamic uprising has killed more than 20,000 people, spread across Nigeria's borders and created 2.6 million refugees and a humanitarian crisis that the U.N. estimates has 14 million people in desperate need of food aid.

Sharap! Don't say what u don't know. That road crossed my village (Okigwe Umuahia) and I know everything about it.

That road has received numbers of touches since it was constructed around 1978-9. The road doesn't last because of the land texture of our area, is not as stony as north that's why roads doesn't las that long. Almost all the leaders has worked on that road. Is true GEJ did not pay attention on it because he was trying to please the north as a good leader, he tot northrs are Nigerians.
Look alike animal and ineffective buffoon born boy

Some embittered souls who spit venom with their minds filled with concentrated strife will ignore this thread because they don't want this current administration to succeed.

Everyday they throw tantrums/Stench insults at Fashola, Kemi, PMB when it's becoming obvious they want to fix the mess their ineffectual buffoon hero cannot accomplish when he was in position for 5years. The clueless hero promised heaven and earth to build 2nd Niger bridge even added an igbo name to deceive them yet no result.

Even though I am not happy with some policies of this current administration, one will know that it's still better than the last one.

May God help them to fulfil the infra structural, agricultural and other sectors crying for prompt help.
Mr man quit the hypocrisy. The same insults you and your fellow Buhari supporters threw at Gej is what they are repaying you now. So develop a thick skin as more vile insults will come to the dullard. So suck it up

OKIGWE -ARONDIZUOGU -ONITSHA ROAD, JUST ABOUT 45KM ROAD NEEDS ATTENTION, IT'S BEEN A DEATH TRAP FOR THE PAST 24 YEARS






By Anayo Okoli UMUAHIA

RELIEF appears on the way for motorists and commuters plying the Enugu-Onitsha and Enugu-Port Harcourt express roads, as the Federal Government has mobilized contractors to return to sites to rehabilitate the roads that have been death traps for some times.

Work on the Enugu-Onitsha highway was abandoned over 10 years ago. It will be recalled that eminent citizens from the south east, traditional rulers among others have decried the deplorable condition of the ever busy road that links people from the Northern states to the commercial city of Onitsha to no avail.

Also, remedial works were done on a portion of one lane on the Enugu-Okigwe-Umuahia-Port Harcourt road, between Okigwe and Umuahia, before it was abandoned early in the year. President Muhammadu Buhar But recently, contactors were seen mobilizing their equipment back to their sites at the 9th Mile end of the Enugu-Onitsha road and on the Enugu-Port Harcourt highway.

On the Enugu-Port Harcourt road, two contractors have mobilized for work. One of the contractors have commenced clearing the maiden from Awgu axis of Enugu down to Isiagu Junction and Abia State boundary which was overgrown by weeds. It was also observed that the firm has secured and cleared a huge space after Mpu junction and putting structures as camp for its workers and equipment. The contractor, it was gathered, is rehabilitating the Enugu to Abia State boundary axis of the road.

At the Abia State portion, beginning from Lokpanta in Umunneochi council of area, another contractor, was seen on site filling the dangerous potholes at the Lokpanta Cattle Market which had been a nightmare for the road users. The contractor has commenced tarring of the other lane from the Okigwe-Umuahia axis, having completed one lane earlier before it pulled out its men and equipment from site.

“We thank God that they have remembered the area again. If you know what we spend to maintain our vehicles, you have pity on us. Whatever amount you make goes back to the maintenance of the vehicle”, a commercial motorist, who gave his name as Ekenna said.

Your deceitful thief and hero awarded the contract 6 months before he got kicked out as a pre-election gimick and he did not back it up with money. Why wait 6 months out of 6 years in office to do charity to his "home"

Charity begins at "home" not outside Eastern Region!!!
