The Nash Gwagwalada Izon Gwarinpa road in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, remains abandoned by the contractor despite millions of naira being shelled out for its repairs.
According to Monitng, a civic technology platform that provides citizens with information to track the progress of public projects and access public data, the contractor visited the site only briefly, erected signage, worked on a damaged section for a day, and then left.
“The contractor just came to the site, put up project signage, worked on a damaged section for a day and left,” Monitng reported.
The road is of fundamental importance for the inhabitants of Paikon Kore, Ibwa, Dobi and ten other communities, as it constitutes an essential connection.
Its abandonment has had a significant impact on these areas, leaving residents without a safe route.
“This road is of great importance to the residents of the communities in that area,” Monitng stressed.
The incompleteness of the work has caused frustration and concern among those who depend on the road on a daily basis.
Residents are now calling for urgent government intervention to ensure the funds are used properly and the project is completed.
The situation highlights the urgent need for accountability and effective oversight in public infrastructure projects.
