Enugu Govt and decongestion of Ninth Mile

I REMEMBER vividly the ugly  experiences I had in the early 1980s at Ninth Mile Corner as a growing child travelling and returning from Enugu, where I usually spent my holidays at my uncle’s house. I usually would encounter heavy traffic snarl within the Ninth Mile axis of the Ninth Mile-Oturkpo road that linked Enugu and Benue states. For this reason, my parents had always warned me not to travel or return from Enugu late in the evening, if I don’t want to sleep at Ninth Mile.
