The Oyo-Ogbomoso dual carriage highway is one of the most important highways in Nigeria, it serves as the fastest link between the Northern and Southwestern regions of Nigeria. Beyond Nigeria, it’s part of a trans-Saharan highway that passes through Nigeria, Niger and Algeria. The project to construct the dual carriage highway was awarded in 2001, with a four-year timeline. However, 24 years after the road construction project was awarded, and with over $600 million spent on the project, the road still remains in a pitiable state, with stretches of kilometres still untarred.

This documentary project takes on the task of exploring what happens when the welfare of citizens is so neglected that the construction project on a highway which connects two of Nigeria’s biggest regions remains uncompleted 24 years after work started. The project seeks to produce a visual report of the current state of the road, and the effect of a never-ending road project on members of the communities where the highway passes through. Most importantly, this project asks: with 24 years having gone by, will the count ever stop?
