All Roads lead to the Same Old Story

There are some federal roads in Nigeria that have been in the news since I was a suckling babe:

- Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
- East-West Road
- Second Niger Bridge
etc

Every year they turn up like abiku children in our National Budget.

Buhari is on his way to Cross River to kick-start another Abiku child of a road.

Even the tiny sections of these roads that are completed and commissioned are back in the budget after three years for Maintenance. Because they were constructed without the fear of God.

When will we finish with these and move on to other lesser known problem stretches? Of which we have hundreds, by the way.

If we need to put ten toll-gates on each one to get some company to invest, build and maintain for us please let's do it. Money cannot compare to the daily loss of lives and livelihood.
