Road users cry about the terrible state of Effurun Roundabout
According to some of them, they said they spend hours on a journey from Effurun roundabout to Ughelli, whereas, it was supposed to be a journey of not more than 30 minutes under normal circumstances.
According to a driver who complained bitterly, his Toyota Picnic had been at a mechanic workshop for over a week. He added that his family struggles to feed as the vehicle is his source of livelihood. He expressed fear that the same fate may repeat itself if he plies the road again with his vehicle, explaining that he spent over N35,000 in repairs.
A passenger, who returned from Ughelli this also said he had been on the deplorable road for over two hours as a result of the gridlock it usually causes.
In his words, “Federal Government should come and help us. Na beg we dey. This is too painful for us to bear. President Tinubu, come and help us repair this road by Effurun roundabout.”
Other people who spoke also stated that the chairman of Uvwie local government area, Ramson Onoyake can do something about the road, as well as the State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori.
The Effurun roundabout is a strategic point and the gateway from Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, and Benin City, Edo State capital, into Warri and its environs.
