President Goodluck Jonathan, Wednesday, flagged off the second section of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway stretching from Aba Rail/ Road Bridge crossing to Eleme Junction in Port Harcourt.

The 41.4 kilometer road was awarded to the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation at the cost of N34, 047, 096, 919.17 with a completion period of 30 months.

Flagging of the project, President Jonathan represented by the Minister for Works, Chief Mike Onolememen, said the gesture was a demonstration of his avowed commitment to the development of road infrastructure in the country in line with the transformation agenda of his administration.

He noted that the Enugu-Port Harcourt dual carriage way is an important North-South arterial highway route connecting so many important cities in the country.

Jonathan said the highway constructed over 70 years ago was begging for total rehabilitation following enormous pressure on it as a result of increasing traffic flow, hence, the resolve of his administration to give it a face-lift.

He noted with delight the progress of work on section one of the expressway, stretching from Lokpanta to Aba awarded in 2013, hinting that section three of the road spanning from Enugu to Lopkanta had already been awarded and would be flagged-off next week.

The President said with the award of contract for the second and third sections of the road, “the entire stretch of the Enugu-Port Harcourt highway is now under total rehabilitation.”

This he added was in response to “the cries and yearnings of the good people of the South-South and South East zones and indeed all Nigerians.”

Onolememen in his own address which was read by the Director of Highway Planning and Development, Federal Ministry of Works, Mr. Bala Danshehu, said the total length of the road from Enugu to Port Harcourt is 218 kilometers.

This nonsense must be blown away

Election fever.





They are commissioning everything thing . Hope they will not commission death.



I'm happy that Tinubu and others that formed APC did their work very well. I'm Igbo but I like the political calculations of tinubu. Since APC presented a real challenge, PDP n GEj has been on their feets. No more business as usual. The real politics of quality is about to be introduce in Nigeria , to be aided by the card reader of INEC.

WONDERFUL!!!

Did I just make FP? Its my first time#Dancing. Ara ga Agba Ndi Ara by Nigga Raw#

Although the rehabilitation of the road is coming quite late,considering the economic importance of that route,but I must applaud the effort of the federal govt in its decision to give that road a lift...
Thank you GEJ for this kind gesture and I pray for the fulfilment of more democratic dividends!
