ChimaAdeoye:I agree totally with the issue of concrete roads Obiano missed out big time. That's one place I commend Ebonyi state governor, he saved a lot of money doing concrete roads through direct labour. I think soludo should utilize it, what we needed most now is massive construction of dual carriage roads in our urban cities. 4 Likes |

Anambra 2021: Ifejiofor Congratulates Soludo --- Reassures of the Readiness of Anambra International Airport to commence full Commercial operations Moses Pajimo Oraegbunam | I-Witness Anambra State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Marcel Ifejiofor has congratulated the winner of the November 6 Anambra State Governorship poll, Professor Chukwuma Soludo and his Deputy, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim even as he commended the electorate for choosing the best team for the job. Engineer Ifejiofor gave the message, yesterday, November 11, 2021, when some I-Witness Media Office members visited him at the newly commissioned Anambra International Airport, Nteje-Umueri. Said he, " I thank ndi Anambra for voting APGA and Soludo on November 6th. APGA is Anambra and Anambra is APGA". " This airport was started and completed in fifteen months. The magic is simple, we engaged competent contractors, once they generate certificates and they 're confirmed, the Governor pays. His Excellency, Governor Willie Obiano gave us both financial and moral support that enabled us achieve this ambitious project. Governor Obiano visits this airport every week. That's big encouragement". Furthermore, the Works Commissioner insisted that the airport was ready for full commercial flight operations. " The most important thing has been done which is to secure certificate from NCAA that this airport is ready for full Commercial operations and we have it. Again, our Governor, Chief Willie Obiano commissioned this airport on October 30th. So, you can see that airlines have started setting up their counters. Airpeace has done theirs, Ibomair is coming, United Nigeria is coming and others. So, we are ready", the Commissioner remarked. 12.11.2021 https://www.facebook.com/IwitnessMediaOffice/posts/637248460987709 5 Likes 1 Share

Chikeluba25: The issue with Ebonyi roads are not because they were done with concrete, but they were also done by illiterate bricklayers without professional and experienced road construction engineers supervising them . So they just pour the concrete the way to do "german floor" in local village buildings. It is the same situation of asphalt roads done by village contractors where they leave the surface so rough you'd wonder if it will be better not to asphalt the road at all. Concrete roads does not mean doing it in the village way that Ebonyi does it with illiterate bricklayers. In Europe, South Africa, and America, they use concrete roads widely. Even for highways. Yet, their concrete roads are as smooth as ever because they take time for finishing to ensure the surface is very smooth. Not just pouring concrete and walking away whether it hardens with some bumps on top of it isn't the business of the illiterate bricklayer who has no sense of high quality finish. 1 Like 1 Share |

OreMI22: Very important Especially on popular platforms like Twitter and Facebook. These two SM platforms are usually at the reach of every average Nigeria. You see how Lagos state govt use the Twitter platform? That should be the way Anambra Govt should be on SM henceforth. Most of our SE reps and politicians have zero SM presence. That’s why the citizens feel so disconnected. I know how many times Ariaria dirty market has trended on SM but Ikpeazu and his team seem absent on that platform...only Sam Hart collects all the accolades and trolls on Abia state. Also check out the BMC crew. You know why dey keep winning most media attacks and arguments? Check am na. Even though most times they choose to be blind to the realities on ground.

ChimaAdeoye: The new roads being constructed in Ebonyi by Dave Umahi should be wat is obtainable in Anambra henceforth. Enough of archaic roads built with bad coal tar. The tiny one at Amawbia bye pass where the traffic police have their tiny shelter is an example...days after it was constructed the road went bad again. Concrete is d way now for roads in d east. They last longer Roads need be carved out in those Amawbia hoods for cases of security emergency as we have now. Individuals building and extending fences where dey ain’t suppose to build should have their fences broken down for entrenching on govt roads. Our roads are always tiny because pple break the laws of building 2 Likes |

Chikeluba25:My bro u lie..those roads are solid. In fact, I just read ur comment after I had already replied chimaA. Those roads in Ebonyi are clean and solid. All d way from Agbomege to Afikpo and then to Abakiliki,Dave Umahi tried on those roads. Ashphalts no be am Abeg. Maybe we should leave ashphalts for FG and use the concrete way for all our state roads |

Nothing wrong with alsphalt. The issue is the quality of contract awarded and job done. Nnobi to Nkpor was built by Ngige almost 20years ago and it's still in top shape, despite lack of maintenance. Landmack: 2 Likes |

gordonbarrett: I think that's why the point of using direct labor to build adjoining streets and internal roads in our cities and LGAs. While intrastate roads that usually experience high speed are done with asphalt. The truth is that without the use of reinforced concrete and direct labor, there is NO WAY you can pave all the internal roads in Nnewi, Awada/Obosi, Odekpe/Atani, Nkwelle Ezunaka/Nsugbe, to Awka, and all the new urban neighborhoods even in 50 years. Using direct labor to tackle some types of roads was a masterpiece strategy by Ebonyi state. Else today, the entire state and their state capital would be filled with muddy-red earth unpaved roads. Most countries of the world today are using concrete roads to save costs and build durable internal streets in their countries. Even in America, all the internal street roads are done by the local government using their own construction workforce (i;e 'DIRECT LABOR". Meanwhile, an average American local government is richer than an average Nigerian state. Yet, even the Ameican county knows that they cannot pave all the streets within their LGA unless they use direct labor! Even as rich as they are!

Landmack: Don't think there's anything inherently wrong with asphalt. Execution is the main issue. Quack contractors often do a shoddy job and the road inexorably breaks down. I remember pictures circulated here on NL about one road in Imo tarred under the Rochas administration and the asphalt layer was so thin, it looked like it was painted over the sand with a paint brush. Of course the first rains quickly washed it away shortly after. 1 Like |

My brother their local workforce na our best contractors so let's not go their. Apart from functionality we should also look at aesthetics. If we desire modern cities, we should do away with mediocrity. Moreover, other options like road grade interlocks should be considered. More importantly is forging partnership with the private sector. I even feel an executive order mandating landlords, especially in major built-up areas, to contribute to construct their roads should be considered. Many estate roads in Lagos were built using development levies. That is the only way places like Awada and co can wear a modern look. They normally have enough money to build 5 decking, but can't contribute 500k to build drainage. Cjrane2: |

Obi1kenobi: Asphalt isn’t working for us because of kukere moves by contractors and politicians in charge. We need the direct labour and the concrete roads be employed. Dave Umahi did a wonderful job honestly. Driving through those newly constructed Ebonyi roads was so memorable and cool. Seemed like the car was in space..didn’t feel like we WAS driving via a Nigeria road 5 Likes |

gordonbarrett: I agree with you on doing high-quality job and using the private sector, landlords, etc. But the truth is that those won't be enough to address the huge gap in unpaved roads. I agree that the Ebonyi artisans do a rough job on the Ebonyi roads, but we can then look out to do a fine finishing than reject the whole concept altogether simply because of Ebonyi artisans. it is like rejecting to build your house with cement because contractors of your neighbor's house in the village did such a shoddy job. While you forget the houses built with cement in Banana island and Abuja where they paid attention to detail using the same cement! Even Ghana is switching to a concrete roads policy to build durable roads as quickly as possible, and within their budget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkXM5D8aJ8U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn11LP_-D_s 2 Likes |

Good quality concrete roads are more durable with life span of 50years and above, but far more expensive than alsphalt roads. Cjrane2: 1 Like |

gordonbarrett: That is what everyone expects. But in Nigeria everything is always upside down. Foreign and local Contractors charge between N200 million to N400 million naira for just 1KM of Asphalt road! If you are unlucky to have a culvert or small bridge they need to build, it can easily be N1 billion naira! That is why folks are now seriously advocating for concrete roads as the few civil engineering foreign contractors in Nigeria now charge hundreds of millions of naira for just 1KM of asphalt road. Not just that concrete roads are cheaper, they require less technology to get it right as you can control the shape of the cement before it hardens. Most importantly, it prevents capital flight through these foreign construction companies and creates A LOT of jobs for the unemployed youths. 2 Likes |

Even if its just to see if Air Peace has built its counters and installation of television screens at departure and ticketing desk to show flight times and passengers entertainment. 4 Likes |

Landmack: Don't mind those guys, because it was done by Umahi, the governor of a supposed poor state, then it must be village, local and not good enough. Many of them have not driven on those roads but they will be condemning it with so much passion. One even said driving on it will spoil car, so it would be better if it was filled with potholes and gullies than smooth concrete? Another one rushed to bring YouTube videos from Ghana as the real deal, yet he forgot that Ghana is a country with access to international loans and foreign exchange earnings unlike Ebonyi that is just a state in Nigeria with very little resources at its disposal.

Biafrarep:My brother nobody is trying to pull anybody down. What he said is pure truth. I doubt you have visited Ebonyi state at all. Apart from the fact that the work is being done by local labourers, for me Asphalt remain the best when compared to the kind of concrete road I do see in Ebonyi state with rough surface No road mark and sign. What we need is just to improve the quality of our asphalt road. Don't forget that all the asphalt roads built by Ngige 18years ago are all still intact with road mark. 1 Like 1 Share |

Pass11:I just left Ebonyi state for Anambra... I wish i was in the position to make videos. Apart from the fact that vehicle does not accelerate smoothly on the concrete road,Afiko to Okigwe road that was built just last year is now a mess. The concert has crack allover with pot holes... Can you name the construction company handling the project you just posted?? Or better still name any capital project you know in Ebonyi and the construction company handling it? Sorry to say Ebonyi projects are being over hyped. Even the airport is being handled by local labourers using bamboo for scaffolding. if you doubt me; name the construction company handling the airport project as we all know that Anambra airport is being handled by Craneburg, Nike flyover Enugu is being constructed by IDC. Apart from the first 2 flyovers Umahi built in Ebonyi state, others are poorly and locally constructed by local labourers. Go there and see things for yourself... Starting from the beam to the walls of the flyover are carelessly casted with rough surface... This is why he is covering the finished work surface with PVC plastic panel in the name of beautification. Till tomorrow asphalt road is far better than concrete road. 5 Likes 1 Share |
