STAT Liberia Nigeria
A note there is major deterioration on all highways due to heavy rains and lack of maintenance (1996 est.) many of the roads reported as paved may be graveled; because of poor maintenance and years of heavy freight traffic - in part the result of the failure of the railroad system - much of the road system is barely usable (2001)
