AGRIC/ISALU ROAD: RESIDENT RAISES CONCERN OVER ROAD MAINTENANCE

A concerned resident has called on other residents and users of the newly commissioned Agric/Isalu road to take better care of the infrastructure, warning that poor maintenance could quickly jeopardize the benefits of the project.

In a Facebook post today, 15th July, the resident identified as Adetunji Alex Adedeji commended the efforts of the Executive Chairman of Badagry Local Government, Mr. Onilude Olusegun for completing the long-awaited road project but expressed concern over how residents are handling the new infrastructure.

According to him, while the government has done its part, it is now up to the people to ensure the road remains in good condition.

“You need to see the heap of sand coming out from each street and house entrance,” he said, pointing out how negligence by residents is already posing a threat to the road’s lifespan.

Adetunji also highlighted what he considered a flaw in the road’s design by the construction company.

“Although Selovian construction company too made a mistake by not adding at least 5 or 10 meters inward each street turning”, he noted.

However, he believes this probable shortcoming is no excuse for residents to allow the road to deteriorate.

“We can still maintain it if we are willing,” he added.

INEC SET TO BEGIN NATIONWIDE VOTER REGISTRATION ON 18TH AUGUST

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is set to begin nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise as part of preparation for the 2027 general elections on 18th August 2025. The announcement was made by INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), for Benue State, Prof. Sam Egwu, in Makurdi yesterday.

Prof. Egwu explained that the CVR exercise was in line with constitutional provisions to accommodate those who had attained 18 years after the previous election. He added that it would take place in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, stressing that it would commence with online pre-registration which would be done through the INEC website.

He stated that the online registration would be followed by “in-person registration in all INEC Area Offices nationwide and other designated centres, starting from 25th August 2025, between 9am and 3pm each day, from Monday to Friday.”

He emphasised that the exercise would address issues regarding “inclusion of fresh persons who are not in the existing register as a result of turning 18 and above after the 2023 general election and were not able to register before because they were not in the country, in prison or were not interested.”

He pointed out that the exercise would also address issues of those whose cards were damaged, lost, or those who needed “correction on the card or deliberate change or inclusion of any other parameters, or seeking intra and inter-state transfer, or from one ward to another or one polling unit to another.”

He urged prospective registrants not to pay money to anyone to be registered, advising that Nigerians “take advantage of the services early enough to avoid last-minute rush for attention so as to avoid the usual pains and hardships associated with the exercise in the past.”

Prof. Egwu, who also assured that measures were in place to adequately cater for the needs of internally displaced persons, IDPs, in the state, said the commission would announce the closing date of this round of the exercise to allow for break and harvesting of data.
