BENIN CITY — The newly completed Ramat Park flyover in Benin City is attracting growing public attention, with residents, particularly young people, visiting the structure to take photographs and record videos, turning it into an unexpected social destination.
The observation was made by social commentator Christian Nwubolu, who described the flyover as Benin City’s latest tourist attraction in a post shared on social media.
According to Nwubolu, the excitement surrounding the new infrastructure has seen many first-time visitors flock to the site, with some appearing more interested in capturing memorable moments than using the flyover for transportation.
“Benin City has officially entered the global tourism chat as the new Ramat Park flyover is ready and already welcoming tourists. Looking at this picture, you may wonder if the flyover is for cars or people. For now, it is serving people,” he wrote.
He added that many young residents who had never seen a flyover before were taking advantage of the opportunity to snap photographs, create videos and share their experiences on social media.
“If you have not visited, please dress up and go there now. Snap your picture while the flyover is still fresh, before Auchi and Ekpoma people start visiting,” he added in a lighthearted remark.
The post has generated reactions online, with many social media users sharing similar experiences and describing the flyover as one of Benin City’s newest landmarks.
While the comments were made humorously, they reflect the public excitement that often accompanies the completion of major infrastructure projects and the role such developments can play in fostering civic pride and social engagement.
