On this week’s RaRaRe community focus, we look at Abia State. A State with a population of just under 3 million people, it is  located  in the south eastern part of Nigeria and, most famous for its commercial hub, Aba.

However, tangible change has yet to be delivered. Extensive research has honed in on districts of Lagos and labelled existing transport networks as inefficient and in need of major investment. Nigeria boasts at least 120,000 miles of road. However, poor management and heavy traffic has left the federal network in a state of serious disrepair.
