It is no longer news that the ever busy Benin Auchi expressway has been a regular talk when the rainy season sets in. The road which connects South West ,North Central and South South has been abandoned by the federal government, leaving the road users vulnerable to long gridlock and sometimes armed robbery.
The call on Edo State Government to fix the road is out of her constitutional responsibility. It is a huge project that will gulp more than 50 billion naira which the state cannot shoulder.
We have some of the indigenes of the state occupying juicy and exotic positions at the top echelon but cannot influence the federal government presence to the project. Some of them use the road to their houses and constituencies and yet they are calling out the state government to do the magic. Are there any federal project going on within the state? Absolutely no. So it is pointless for the state government to embark on the Benin-Auchi expressway project that is highly capital intensive.
