The article argues that good roads are not a luxury but a fundamental right and the bedrock of community progress, and when a government forgets a community's road, it forgets the market women whose goods spoil in transit, the school children who arrive at their desks drenched in mud or choking on dust, and the sick and elderly for whom an emergency trip to the hospital becomes an agonising gamble against time because ambulances cannot navigate the road. It acknowledges that the current administration has been doing tremendously well in the FCT and its outskirts, but states that the community in Pegi 1,000 Unit Estate, Kuje, has been forgotten, and even though the community is under the FCDA, it hardly feels its impact. The article notes that several letters and pleas have been made to all past administrations and appeals to the current FCT administration under Minister Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike to address the road.
