BAD ROADS IN URBAN WARRI: MOTORISTS APPEAL FOR QUICK REHABILITATION

Warri-

Motorists and other road users in Warri and its environs have appealed to the state government and Warri South Council to rehabilitate bad portions of roads in the commercial nerve center of the state to alleviate their sufferings.

Correspondent Omonigho Edaah reports that the state of the roads at Ibo Market by Okere Junction, Okumagba Estate axis and Bowen Avenue all in Warri South Local Governmnet Area are currently begging for urgent attention especially with the increased rainfall. 

Vehicles and tricycles popularly called keke were seen trying to avoid bad spots thereby causing traffic jam.

Speaking to newsmen on the state of the roads, some vehicle and tricycle owners said that the bad spots on most of the roads have continued to cause pain and loss of man hour with its attendant cost implications on damaged cars and tricycles.

Motorists and Keke operators who acknowledged the scorecard of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on road construction across the state, appealed to him and the Warri South Council Chairman, Dr. Michael Tidi to urgently fix the various bad spots in the metropolis. 

On the award of road contracts, they called on state government to blacklist quack construction firms and sanction government Engineers who certify shoddy jobs to serve as deterrent to others. 

They noted that if the roads are motorable, it will reduce the impact on perishable goods, save man hour and also reduce the cost of maintenance on their vehicles and tricycles.
