The Federal Ministry of Works and Housing has explained that the ministry could not fix all bad roads across the country at the same time because of the numerous challenges facing the sector.
The Director, Planning, Research & Statistics, Dr. Famous Eseduwo gave the reasons in Calabar at the opening of a four-day National Council on Works meeting with the theme ‘Infrastructure As The Pathway For Prosperity.’
He noted that the ministry has made more progress concerning fixing the road than it has in the previous year
“The problems we have in the road sector are myriad and sometimes you won’t know that something is being done until maybe at a reasonable level when you have seen the signs on the ground.
“But I want to assure you that progress has been made from last year to now and we are still here because we have developed the perspectives of looking at our problems continuously. It’s a growing concern. So definitely, there are going to be challenges and we are there also to look at the challenges,” Eseduwo said.
