Rainfall these
days has exposed the issue of bad roads in Gwallameji Student Village which has
been and is being neglected by the government despite the fact that it is a residential
area to the so-called ‘futures of tomorrow’ (students).
The issue of
rainfall and roads has not been an issue nowadays but has become a norm. Due to
the seasonal structure of the country, road construction is being neglected
because of the, ‘it will just last 3-4 months and the water will dry again’
mentality.
Gwallameji has
its own taste of bad roads for decades. The student dominated area is not a
road of mud and trenches.
This system of
governance towards lack of care to its citizens has become a lesser thing to
worry about as the citizens are ‘use to it’.
The governor has
spent his major duties in constructing major state and federal roads withing
the state.
Some of these
roads are the Sabon Kaura Bypass (Goodluck Johnathan Bypass), the double-lane Bauchi-Jos
road construction, the federal lawcost construction, the Maiduguri-gombe road
bypass, and so much other ongoing projects.
But the most
significant roads used by the people in the rural and suburbs are of immensive
importance as citizens tends to use it more than they use the major roads,
Students in Gwallameji
now have to walk through muds and jumb potholes and trenches to get to school.
This neglect should be considered as it is the most vital aspect of livelihood in the rural and suburbs.
