Anambra State. A resident has questioned the quality of roadworks at a location identified in supplied footage as Bright Street near Union Bank, alleging that a concrete-based layer under construction is “bouncing” underfoot.

The claim raises a public-interest question about construction quality, but the clip does not establish a defective finished road or show how long the completed project will last. The precise site, construction stage and material specification require confirmation.

Watch the supplied footage

Supplied resident footage identified as Bright Street near Union Bank, Anambra State. Exact recording location, filming date and original recorder not independently authenticated. The full supplied sequence has been compressed for web playback.

The recording points mainly at a pale surface with visible aggregate and rough or uneven areas as people stand and walk nearby. The accompanying account describes movement in the layer and questions its durability.

Anambra Socials has not independently measured that alleged movement. Camera motion, sound or a person’s foot movement cannot by themselves establish the behaviour of the underlying road layers. The description “concrete-based” is attributed to the supplied account rather than confirmed by a material test.

What the official project register establishes

The Anambra State Ministry of Works road tracker lists a project titled “Construction of Bright Street and Parks 1 & 2” at Onitsha Main Market in Onitsha North Local Government Area.

The record identifies Ferotex Const. Co. as contractor and the Ministry of Works as supervising authority. It labels the project in progress, while leaving its value and completion date unpublished.

This establishes a state-listed project with the same street name. It does not independently match the filmed patch to that contract or establish who laid the material shown. The register’s unassessed progress field should not be treated as a measured statement of present site progress.

The 20-year durability pledge

A Coalcity FM report published on 15 October 2026 records Works Commissioner Okey Ezeobi referring to the administration’s promised 20-year road guarantee while directing contractors to inspect and repair defective sections.

The state government’s account of that meeting also records instructions on material testing, inspection, compaction and quality control. That is a general directive, not an official response to this particular Bright Street clip.

The resident’s concern about the pledge is understandable as a demand for accountability. However, the footage does not establish the contractual warranty for the specific works, whether the surface shown is an intermediate or final layer, or a verified prediction that the road will fail before 20 years.

Questions for the supervising authority

The Ministry of Works and the contractor responsible for the filmed section should clarify the exact location, the layer being shown, its intended specification and whether it has been inspected and accepted for the next construction stage.

Relevant quality-control records and an on-site engineering assessment would help establish whether there is measurable movement, its cause and whether corrective work is needed. Anambra Socials has not obtained those records or an authenticated response specifically addressing this footage.

Residents deserve durable infrastructure and a clear explanation when a project’s quality is questioned. The immediate task is to investigate the specific claim, rather than declare the completed road a success or failure from this clip alone.

Reporting note

Sources are linked within the relevant paragraphs and were reviewed on 24 October 2026. The video and location description were supplied for publication; the recording date and precise project match remain unverified. No independent laboratory testing or site inspection has been conducted by Anambra Socials for this report. The absence of a response in the available material is not a claim that the parties were contacted and refused to comment.
