Benin Road reflects the condition of many of Nigeria’s busiest highways, stressing that the government should focus on reconstructing and maintaining existing roads before announcing new projects.
“Our efforts should be directed towards the reconstruction and maintenance of our current road infrastructure before we announce plans for new road projects. The Nigerian populace requires functional and motorable roads, not merely projects that garner public attention,” he stated.
The former Anambra State governor also argued that politically motivated infrastructure projects should not take precedence over addressing the poor condition of critical road networks across the country.
“Efforts aimed at superficial improvements for political gain should not supersede the urgent need to address the condition of our existing, critical roadways,” he concluded.
