Doyin Okupe, a former aide to ex president Goodluck Jonathan, has answered Vice President Yemi Osinbajo's comment which said the previous administrations didn't construct a single road in decades.
"His Excellency, Prof Yemi Osinbajo said the Federal government idd not construct a single road in the last 10 years. The VP probably said this in view of the fact that based on reports made available to him almost 98% of government effort in the last decade has been devoted to roads rehabilitation," Doyin Okupe said on social media.
"The federal road network, going by the colonial road master plan, is about 35,000km inlength. By 2007, over 70% of these roads were completely unmotorable. No responsible government of the people will set aside 35000km of dilapidated and nonfunctional, often single lane roads, and embark on the construction of new ones. Therefore the efforts of the federal government in the last 10 years has been focused on the repair, rehabilitation, expansion and dualization of most of the interstate and axial road network nationwide.
