Why Edo Govt Can't Fix Benin-auchi, Benin-sapele, Other Roads, By Obaseki by UdabaPrince100: 9:25am On Jul 23, 2023 |
Why Edo govt can't fix Benin-Auchi, Benin-Sapele, other roads, by Obaseki The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has said the state government cannot intervene in fixing the Benin-Auchi and Benin-Sapele Roads because the Federal Government has already awarded contracts for the repair of the roads. Obaseki disclosed this to journalists after the monthly Security Council meeting held in Government House, Benin City, the state capital. The governor said that much as Edo State is a transportation hub, it is concerning that the major Federal Road network in the state, which connects several parts of the Country are in bad condition. He noted that his administration has done everything in its power to appeal to the Federal Government to look into the repairs of the wide span of damaged Federal Roads in Edo State. Obaseki added that his administration has drawn the attention of the Federal Government to the failed portions of Benin-Auchi Roads, Benin-Sapele Road and the Benin-Lagos Road, particularly the Ovia River Bridge but nothing has been done yet. According to him, "Look at the incident that happened in Ovia River Bridge three weeks ago, in which we lost several lives following multiple accidents. Nothing has been done till now. This shows they don't care about us in the State. "The issue on the Benin-Lagos Road, particularly the Ovia River Crossing is becoming catastrophic. We have lost a lot of lives and done everything to get the Federal Government and the Federal Ministry of Works to work with us and put in place a palliative measure to stop the carnage on that road." On Sapele Road, he said: "I was on Sapele Road recently. After the heavy downpour, the road was impassable. What is going on in Benin-Sapele road is a scandalous. I don't think that any region where the oil resources that sustain the Country come from should be this neglected. We have done everything possible. We don't know what to do again to draw the attention of the federal government to these roads." He continued: "The Auchi-Ibillo Road was so bad that some of our contractors couldn't go to their quarry site. We appealed to the Federal Government to do palliative work on that road but they refused, saying the road is under contract. If I want to do the same to Benin-Sapele Road, I am not allowed to do so. They claim the road has been given out to a contractor. Last year, the Benin-Auchi Road was locked for about two weeks as food, animals, petroleum products could not reach their destination. We don't want such situations this year so they should help us. We are not here to criticize them but to appeal for help." The governor noted that the federal government’s policy relating to these roads is very confusing, noting that in the past, states could rehabilitate Federal roads and give the Federal Government the bills, but that is no longer obtainable. "At a point they said we can apply and take over the repair of federal roads but I am yet to see a state they have given Federal roads to fix," he noted. |

Presently, the immediate past speaker of EDHA is hospitalised as a result of a ghastly road traffic accident he was involved in a few days ago along Benin-Auchi road. Almost every other day, citizens suffer on these death traps. These roads connect major parts of the State and should be prioritized by the governor! What about the 'State' roads, any explanation for those ones? |

Obaseki should go and fix these roads and stop waiting for a FG that don't even have direction yet. Your people are suffering and you are speaking English sir. |

Re: Why Edo Govt Can't Fix Benin-auchi, Benin-sapele, Other Roads, By Obaseki by Jostoman: 11:38am On Jul 23, 2023 |
advanceDNA:All na transport, politicians pass those bad roads with lexus while the poor mases passes through those bad road with korope, maruwa or Okada. That was the reason why i said it in my comment that i'm always happy to see our politicians go through the pains that the poor mases passes through with whatever car those politicians use to pass through those road. Hope you get my point now? |

ede1:Are you uneducated? The road is a FEDRAL road. Obaseki or ant other Edo governor can't do anything about it. You should be asking why the senators and Reps from Edo are not putting pressure on the FG to fix it |

bjdon: Uzodinma,wike, umahi, sanwo olu etc have fixed federal roads in their states. Let Obaseki fix the road and get refunds from federal government. Obaseki got 16b for federal roads fixed by oshiomhole. Stop defending foolishness. By the way is ekenwan road, ugbiyoko, evbuotubu, uwelu, uwasota etc also federal roads? Roads in esan land and Edo north are crying for attention. No roads in the hinterlands. Guy take ur time ooo. Obaseki is a bloody failure, simple. |

bjdon: Look at this illitrate that have access to internet. As a governor you will rather wait for your people to suffer than to alleviate their pains, because you are waiting for FG . What stop the governor from pulling resources with the senator and rep member to fix that road. Other governors doing it have two heads. instead of advising these governors to be creative with governance, you are defending rubbish. |
