FG and Umahi’s roads to hell, Part 2

The Benin-Agbor-Asaba highway to sudden death, the article argues, symbolizes everything wrong with the way the Federal Government and Minister David Umahi have managed Nigeria’s roads.

The author, Dele Sobowale, says the horrors associated with that highway are being repeated across the country. The road therefore serves not as an isolated case, but as an example of a wider national problem.

Sobowale bluntly concludes that Umahi is the wrong man for one of the country’s most important assignments. The article signals that it will go on to demonstrate how the same failures are being replicated elsewhere.
