Dear Sir (Letter to GEJ)

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 w
ill 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
