Nigerian Youths Demand Immediate Rehabilitation of Critical Roads Linking Edo and Delta States

Nigerian Youths Demand Immediate Rehabilitation of Critical Roads Linking Edo and Delta States

 


Concerned Nigerian youths and road users have issued a powerful appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Delta State Government, urging urgent intervention to rehabilitate the severely deteriorated roads connecting Edo State, Warri, Asaba, and Ebu in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State.


The deplorable state of these roads has inflicted serious hardship on motorists, traders, farmers, students, transport operators, and residents who rely on these routes daily. Of particular concern is the road leading to Ebu, which becomes nearly impassable during heavy rains, leaving travelers stranded for hours.



EBU ROAD

This situation is more than just an infrastructure issue-it is a humanitarian crisis. The poor roads escalate transportation costs, cause vehicle damage, disrupt businesses, and expose citizens to unnecessary risks.

The group behind the appeal stresses the need for urgent collaboration between the Federal and Delta State governments to rehabilitate and reconstruct these vital roads.



BENIN TO DELTA ROAD

“No Nigerian should have to fear for their safety simply because they are traveling from one community to another,” the statement reads.

Signed by Hon. Ambassador Godspower Chukwudi Ekpoluonye on behalf of Concerned Nigerian Youths and Road Users Nationwide, this non-political appeal calls for prompt government action to restore mobility, economic activity, safety, and hope to thousands of Nigerians affected by these failing roads.


The time to act is now—improving these roads will not only save lives but also rejuvenate the local economy and uplift communities.

Cross River's Transformation Under Governor Bassey Otu Deserves Recognition, Says Support Group

Cross River's Transformation Under Governor Bassey Otu Deserves Recognition, Says Support Group

 




As conversations about governance continue across Nigeria, a group of supporters of the Cross River State Government has called on Nigerians to focus on measurable development rather than politically motivated narratives.


According to the group, Governor and Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu has remained committed to rebuilding Cross River State since assuming office, despite inheriting significant financial obligations from the previous administration. They argued that the current government has prioritized infrastructure renewal, improved public services, and initiatives aimed at restoring the state's reputation as one of Nigeria's most peaceful and attractive destinations.


The supporters further claimed that the administration has made notable progress in strengthening security across the state, stating that incidents of cult-related violence, kidnapping, and other forms of criminality have reduced significantly compared to previous years. They added that the improved security environment has encouraged more people to relocate to Cross River for business and residential opportunities.


The group also praised the construction and development of the new Government House, describing it as one of the finest state government complexes in Nigeria and a reflection of the administration's commitment to modern governance and public infrastructure.


Describing Governor Otu as a "silent achiever," the supporters said his administration has focused more on delivering results than engaging in political rhetoric. They maintained that ongoing efforts to settle inherited debts while executing development projects demonstrate responsible leadership.


Responding to recent criticisms of the governor, the group alleged that some attacks on the administration are politically motivated. They called on former governor Senator Ben Ayade and other political actors to allow the current administration to continue its work without sponsoring campaigns aimed at discrediting the governor. However, no evidence was provided to substantiate the allegation that media personalities or online influencers have been sponsored to undermine the government.


The supporters concluded by urging residents and Nigerians at large to judge the Otu administration based on its performance, insisting that Cross River is steadily reclaiming its status as "The People's Paradise" through peace, development, and responsible governance.

Residents of Cross River State have commended Governor Senator Bassey Edet Otu for what they described as remarkable developmental strides, urging critics to allow him to remain focused on delivering the dividends of democracy.

The commendation comes amid criticism from some political opponents over the governor’s projects, particularly the newly constructed Cross River State House of Assembly Complex.

One of the residents and a supporter of the governor, Anthony Timothy, Deputy Director of the Nigeria Bloggers Forum Association, described the edifice as a world-class structure that reflects a bold vision for the state’s future. He noted that its architectural design compares favorably with iconic government buildings in other parts of the world.

According to him, the Assembly Complex symbolizes purposeful leadership and the administration’s commitment to developing enduring public infrastructure.

“Rather than attracting criticism, such projects should be celebrated as investments that will serve generations to come,” he said.

Timothy also commended Governor Otu for implementing development initiatives across key sectors, including infrastructure, agriculture, tourism, economic revitalization, and urban renewal. He said the administration’s policies are gradually restoring public confidence in governance while positioning Cross River as an attractive destination for investment and tourism.

He further noted that ongoing road rehabilitation projects and other public infrastructure investments are expected to stimulate economic growth, create employment opportunities, and improve the standard of living of residents.

While acknowledging that every government is entitled to constructive criticism, Timothy urged political opponents to avoid actions capable of distracting the governor from fulfilling his mandate.

He maintained that leadership should be judged by vision, commitment, and tangible results, stressing that Governor Otu has demonstrated a strong determination to move Cross River State forward through sustainable development.

He expressed optimism that, with sustained focus and public support, the governor would deliver more transformative projects that would further improve the lives of the people of Cross River State and strengthen the state’s economy.
