Published

on


The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has listed various uncompleted federal road projects in the country.

In a series of posts via his official X handle on Monday, Obi expressed concerns over numerous uncompleted roads scattered across the country.

The former Governor of Anambra State said many uncompleted roads have become hazardous death traps and security risks.

He added that it is disheartening to witness the plight of innocent Nigerians who traverse these dilapidated roads under perilous conditions, vulnerable to kidnappers and other dangers.

Obi, therefore, listed some of these roads in various zones of the country below.
