In onitsha the Southern Nigeria Peoples Mandate, SNPM, a
human rights organization has drawn the attention of the
Federal Government towards total infrastructural decay of
federal roads in the South-east and South-south regions of
the country.
SNPM mentioned some of the roads as Nnewi/Amichi/
Unubi/Uga/Akokwa/Arondizuogu/Umulolo/Okigwe federal highway; Enugu/Awka/Onitsha expressway; Enugu/Okigwe/ Umuahia/Aba/Port Harcourt expressway; Aba/Ikot Ekpene highway; Umuahia/Ikot Ekpene highway; Ugep/Adim/ Uyanga/Calabar federal highway; Asaba/Benin dual carriageway and Itu/Odukpani/Calabar federal highway.
In a press statement issued yesterday in Onitsha, Anambra
state shortly after their emergency meeting, President of the group, Augustine Chukwudum, lamented that these roads have been abandoned for the past 20 years, but during political campaign and electioneering periods, they would be used as tools for political campaigns and once the election is over, elected office holders would sweep them under the
carpet.
SNPM said the dilapidated condition of these roads has
become too inexplicable that they decided to raise this alarm for the present administration to look into them because the masses are dying on these roads on daily basis through fatal accidents as a result of their total collapse.
According to the statement, “Let the Federal Government
wake up to its responsibilities by doing what they are
expected to do on these roads. We are raising this alarm
because the current administration is not doing anything to
alleviate the sufferings of the masses who are going through hell on these roads.
“The only way to stop further wastages of peoples’ lives is for the Federal Government to commence work on these roads with immediate effect”, the statement concluded.
