Abstract : This research article evaluates the state of road infrastructure in the Gamajigo community of Jos North Plateau State, Nigeria. The study examines the impact of poor road conditions on transportation, economic activities, and quality of life within the community. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and field observations to provide a comprehensive analysis. Findings reveal significant issues related to road quality, including frequent maintenance needs, inadequate coverage, and safety concerns. Recommendations are provided to address these challenges and improve road infrastructure in Gamajigo.
