VIDEO: Millions Of Naira Gone As Truck Fully Loaded With Pigs Crashes Due To Terrible Condition Of Benin-Sapale-Warri Road, Eye Witness Calls For Federal Government Intervention

Written By Oshiobugie Omo-Ikirodah
Social media has been abuzz with a viral video showing the distressing aftermath of a truck, fully loaded with pigs, that toppled over due to the deplorable state of the Benin-Sapale-Warri road. Many pigs were tragically killed, while others scattered into nearby bushes. CONTINUE READING
The deteriorated road stands as a testament to the governance under President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and the former governor of Delta State, Okowa. Both governors have faced allegations of mismanagement and corruption, undermining their state’s development.

It’s worth noting that Oshiomhole, the former governor of Edo, claimed to have repaired numerous federal roads, with the reimbursement of almost twenty billion Naira handed to his successor, Obaseki. It’s worth noting that the former governor of Rivers State, who recently assumed the role as the OO1 of the FCT, had undertaken the repair of numerous federal roads in his state. Yet, when he sought reimbursement from Tinubu, prior to the latter’s presidential inauguration, he faced ridicule from social media users. This begs the question: Why couldn’t Obaseki and Okowa collaborate to address the road’s condition?
Both Edo and Delta are wealthy states in terms of resources, yet they rank among the most challenging places in the country to reside and establish a business, largely due to poor road conditions. CONTINUE READING
The harrowing video highlights the agonizing experiences of many travelers who spend days stranded on these roads due to government inaction and alleged corruption.
The individual recording the video lambasted the federal government for failing to uphold their road repair promises. The distressing footage reveals dead pigs scattered across the road, while others rush into the bushes, presumably in shock and panic.

There’s a nationwide hope that Dave Umahi, the current Minister of Works, who has demonstrated a keen resolve to improve the nation’s infrastructure, will prioritize this pressing issue. Given his recent commitment to the Benin-Auchi road project, many anticipate swift and efficient action on the Benin-Sapale-Warri road as well.’
