FG to rid highways of abandoned trucks
Respite is on the way for commutters that ply the nation’s highways as the Federal Government is about to commence the evacuation of broken down and abandoned trucks that hitherto constituted hazards on the road.
According to the Minister, government intends to adopt a strategy of immediate removal of broken down trucks along Nigerian highways to avoid commuters being delayed. Fashola said, “We want to ensure that this time our contractors are better prepared for the rainy season, so we need to evolve a strategy where our contractors are mindful that yes we have the construction work but the roads must remain motorable during the rainy season.”
The Minister added that President Muhammadu Buhari was anxious to see that the 67km road was completed knowing its importance to the economy of Cross River State.
