Dear GEJ Sir,
Let us concession the roads. Companies should bid for stretches of highway in bundles of say 100 km. They will manage it for a period of say 3-5years, when there will be another round of bidding. As incentive, These companies will have a portion of the initial payments for license released to them - based on performance: Repairs, number of accidents, even security - robbery attacks.
Instead of having civil servants sitting n the ministry of works, they should have designations like "supervisor Lagos-Benin" "Supervisor Abuja-Lokoja" These supervisors will have their teams and they will be in effect contract Holders - supervising the performance of the companies...
That way we know who is not doing their job.
A top journalist said: the Lagos Benin road is worse than any road in Afghanistan. I have not been to Afghanistan. But we should consider these sentiments as evidence of failed government. We believe you can make a difference Mr. President. Best wishes. Your fellow citizen.
Obi
