A Facebook user shared pictures of the deplorable state of Port Harcourt-Enugu Highway, a federal road.

It is observed by Naijadriva that over the years, that road has been abandoned by the government. The bad spots on this road starts Oyigbo section(Rivers State) to Aba, through Umuahia, which has the major section(Abia State), then Okigwe (Imo State) to Enugu.

For Example, It took about 20-30mins from Port Harcourt to Aba but due to bad road, it takes longer (1-2hrs depending on whether there is rush hours or not).

That fool that commented "Buhari never promised to fix the road" he should just hear himself for once, you can't argue foolish due to the destabilization of your brain
It's Mr. President duty to overview what affects the masses, remember he pledged with the HOLY QURAN. I heard okigwe/umuahia road is good.


Please and please FG repair ajaokuta road, Kogi that road is a pain in the ass, repair and dualize ikot Ekpene road
. Repair Odukpani, dualize it please these are all thy responsibilities pls FG.

@bolded, as soon as you leave Uyo town and drive towards the T-junction (right leading to Calabar), you will know that there is no Government presence in Cross River State. Gov. Akpabio constructed most of the internal roads from boundary with Abia (worst State in South East Nigeria by governance), around Mpatak or Ukan afon to that boundary with Cross River.

Two roads am scared of. Odukpani and Ikot ekpene. I have to admit that ikot ekpene road is a federal one and it will be hard to make a move or dualize since the people of umuahia built their house on the road.

Buhari can't do all the roads in Nigeria at once. If previous administrations had contributed their quotas, the states of federal highways in the country wouldn't have been this catastrophic. Na small small. Thank God they're working on the Lokoja-Benin Expressway and Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Na those ones concern me.

The road is better now on the greater part but remains a death trap especially the short Rivers State axis from Eleme junction to Imo River which is less than 10 km.

In as much as the present government has her share of the blame, have we forgotten that Jonathan campaigned with the road telling us it has been finished? I travel that road and it is always bad. Jonathan messed up big time with that road plus that of Enugu Onitsha.

The OP is clearly mischievous, At no time has the Government said it has completed the Portharcourt Enugu Expressway.
Everyone know the Imo River - Eleme stretch is still a Nightmare
