Abuja expressway: pothole around Kuje junction

Another section of potholes on the Abuja expressway

The 10 lane Abuja Airport Expressway commissioned by former President Goodluck Jonathan at the twilight of his administration on 7, May 2015 is gradually giving way, and becoming a death trap for road users.

Contracts for the expansion of the road from four to 10 lanes was awarded by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and the Federal Capital Development Agency FCDA) N59 billion naira to Julius Berger in 2009. Barely three months after its formal commissioning by Jonathan, the road is now gradually giving way with erosion creating huge craters at the shoulders while potholes are emerging at different points of the road.
