Yet our governor take huge collections.
Meanwhile roads in the north r good
Most roads in the North are bad...

Add the fact that the dry season up North is long and lengthly, time enough to build and repair roads.

Chai, this our road. As soon as you leave Calabar, from Ugep to Odukpani(Pamol and Mark Sino Construction axis), Akamkpa, Uyanga, through Biase are in a bad shape.


I dont advise a pregnant woman to pass that road because the bumps fit shit her womb.
The Federal Government should come to our aid.
A lady lost her pregnancy on the road last month

In Cross River alone, Naijadriva can confirm that after 8 Miles Calabar to Ugep (where local boys wait for sinking vehicles to push and make money), to Odukpani, to Biase are in a deplorable state.

Calabar - Ikom road is bad. It takes about 8 hours to get to Ikom. Okpoma-Oba Road is bad (near Ogoja and Ebonyi State).

Why was the lie lie Fashola telling us a different story thenhuh

IgbereTV reports that the minister of works and housing, Babatunde Fashola has stated that Nigerian roads are not as bad as they are said to be.

The Minister stated this after the federal executive council meeting on Wednesday, also told newsmen that the major challenge encountered in the completion of roads across the country is funding.

He said, “The roads are not as bad as they are often portrayed. I know that this is going to be your headline, but the roads are not that bad "

“When I come here to announce that a particular amount was approved for a contract that doesn’t mean the amount has been paid contrary to what you suggest.

“You are mindful also that minister of finance, different arms of government are escalating the fiscal challenges we face as a nation in trying to fund the budget.

“You are also mindful that the last few budgets in Nigeria for almost 20 years have been deficit budgets and these are terminologies that are realities and I think we should acquaint ourselves with if we are not just to report the news but also educate the public.

“You must also be aware that between awarding a contract and also mobilizing to the site there is a distance. First of all, we have to have an agreement that is the relationship between the ministry of works or any other ministry and the ministry of justice, then there is a role that banks play, they have to give a guarantee.

“Building materials – rocks, laterite, quarry, iron rods have to be ordered, construction companies don’t keep them.

“The process of producing blasting rocks requires approval from the office of ministers of justice and even the office of the NSA to get approval to get dynamite. All of these are the things that go on. So the point that I am making to you is that there is a distance between approval, implementation, actual construction and the result.”

Fashola also said that there will be a massive mobilization of contractors for rehabilitation of roads as well as continuation of road construction projects across the country when the rains are over.

“So what we experienced in this year is unusual, it’s not a good time to be in the transport system. We also want this season to quickly end so that we can go back to work during the dry weather.”

Let me help your reading and comprehension shortfall.

naijadrivablog:
Further investigations revealed that the contract, awarded on April 24, 2018, was supposed to last for 30 months but non-funding resulted in the suspension of the job in May 2019 by Julius Berger Plc. The project contractors, Julius Berger disclosed that they received only 7.4 billion out of the 54.1billion earmarked for the project, with about 60% of the 7.4 billion withheld for compensation purposes leaving them with a paltry 3.4 billion to execute the project, which was grossly inadequate. In other words, only less than 13% contract works and payment has been fulfilled.

The House of Representatives Committee wondered why the project would be punctuated by bushes in between, a situation it frowned at, describing it as unacceptable.

The Committee, having concluded investigations will present a final report about the actual state of the project to the National Assembly and the President through the Minister of Works and Housing. The committee has warned agents of falsehood peddling lies about the project to the undiscerning public, to desist forthwith./
