Critics have raised concerns over the standard of work on the newly completed Ekwulobia Flyover following reports and videos circulating on social media showing sections of the project allegedly being cemented shortly after completion. The development has sparked debate among residents, with many questioning why a major infrastructure project is already attracting attention over maintenance and durability.
The controversy has fueled calls for greater transparency and accountability in the execution of public projects. Some residents argue that infrastructure funded with public resources should meet high engineering standards and remain durable for years without requiring immediate remedial work. They insist that government should provide clear explanations to reassure the public about the quality and safety of the flyover.
The concerns have also generated wider political reactions, with critics urging the Anambra State Government to address the issues promptly and, if necessary, allow an independent technical assessment of the project. Many residents maintain that beyond commissioning ceremonies, the true measure of any infrastructure project is its quality, safety, and ability to serve the people for decades.
