How come? They said the SE is very tiny but they have up to 26k roads. The region that are always saying Ibadan is bigger than the SE only have 3k roads extra? I was expecting their roads to be at least 90k

God is wonderful sha

God bless the SE
God bless all lovers of peace in Nigeria.

Do it by states and see how Lagos, Kano and Delta dismantle other states

The same Lagos that Imo is more built up than?

The north leads

They said south east is tiny but can't do federal roads in the same 'tiny' place.

Una don dey chop statistics?

By the way, when you that Southeast has the smallest landmass, you will realize that it probably has the best road network with that 26k road network.

Please stop dragging my Imo State into this senseless competition.

Why not digest the information and move on?

Okay, so when will the South catch up with the North? We are road infrastructure disadvantaged region and needs to catch up with the north. Hence we need quota system to balance it up.

Its actually easier to design and develop tiny spaces,na why to rule Ghana dey easy to rule Naija

That u guys aren't first in everything shows the lack of creativity in governance in that region

SE has the least road network
It shouldn't be surprising

If u get to Ukwu-Orji and then decide to enter Awka from there, you'd think there are no Urban planners and Architects in the SE since 1960

U no go even believe say dem don ever produce any civil engineer before

Everything just dull.... But it's well

Onitsha, Enugu and Aba are better planned than Lagos and Ibadan.

Only about 1k of that 26k was probably built by Federal Government.

The rest is the sweat of State governments and private individuals.

1k is generous, only about 500 km. The majority is by private individuals and organized property developers.

Compare it to landmass , check the other regions in the south and see that the SE has the best road network in the country
