PANDEF chairman laments deplorable south-south roads

Ambassador Godknows Igali, the National Chairman of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), has voiced strong criticism regarding the "deplorable" condition of roads across the South-South region of Nigeria. He declared that the area, which is the nation's economic backbone, has been reduced to a state of "crisis" due to the poor infrastructure.

Igali's remarks highlight a persistent issue of neglect and underdevelopment in a region vital to the country's economy. The deteriorating road networks not only hinder daily life and commerce for residents but also symbolize a broader failure to invest in and maintain critical infrastructure in oil-producing areas. The forum's chairman emphasized the stark contrast between the region's economic contribution and the poor living conditions it faces.

The statement underscores the frustration felt by stakeholders in the Niger Delta, who often feel their contributions are not matched by adequate government attention and development. The call for improved road infrastructure is a direct plea for better governance and a more equitable distribution of national resources.
