BARELY three months after the
busy Enugu-Okigwe-Umuahia-Port Harcourt federal road was rehabilitated under
the supervision of FERMA, some portions of the road have gone bad again.
When reputable contractors like Julius Berger and Setraco were mobilised to
rehabilitate the road, especially the Okigwe-Umuahia axis which was then a real
death trap, motorists and commuters jubilated but their joy has turned out a
temporary one.
This is because potholes have developed on the road, especially in the middle,
endangering the lives of road users.
Even FERMA, which has its name advertised at several points along the road, has
not made any effort to patch the new potholes.
Motorists and other road users are wondering what would happen when the rains
come in full force.
The pace of rehabilitation work between Umuahia and Aba is abysmally slow,
subjecting road users to unnecessary traffic snarls.
