Avoid Lokoja-Abuja road for now, opt for alternative routes – FG warns motorists
The Federal Government has warned motorists travelling to the North from the Southern and Eastern parts of the country through Kogi State to avoid the Lokoja-Abuja dual carriageway.
The warning was according to a statement by The Federal Controller of Works in Kogi State, Engr Jimoh Kajogbola. He however admonished motorists to opt for alternative routes
He said, “Due to the flooding in the country, River Niger has overflowed the Lokoja-Abuja dual carriageway at Koton-Karfe and rendered it dangerous to road users.
“Abuja-bound motorists from the South-West are advised to pass through the Ilorin-Mokwa-Bida road, while motorists from the East and South-South are advised to pass through Makurdi-Lafia road.”
He said this equally applies to South-South, South-East and South-West bound motorists from the Northern parts of the country.
He urged them to either take Abuja-Lafia-Makurdi-Otukpa road or Abuja-Bida-Mokwa-Jebba road pending the time that the water will subside at Koton-Karfe.
Not until things are beyond repair or damage totally before we find alternatives
