Cajaah Estate Residents Fund Road Repairs Amid Neglect

Residents of Cajaah Estate in Orozo, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have initiated self-help repairs on a severely deteriorated road connecting their estate to Treasury Academy Road on the Nyanya-Karshi road. This decision follows repeated failures by relevant authorities, including FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) Chairman Hon. Christopher Zakka Maikalangu, to respond to their appeals for road rehabilitation.

Kenneth Eigbedion, Chairman of Cajaah Estate, reported that the road's condition has forced residents to navigate deep potholes, particularly during the rainy season, causing significant hardship and vehicle damage. Despite mobilizing support for the AMAC Chairman during the last Area Council elections, residents feel neglected as their expectations for road repairs have not been met.

Consequently, they have started contributing funds to repair the road temporarily. Eigbedion emphasized that while they are taking action, they still expect the government to fulfill its responsibilities regarding infrastructure maintenance.
