Opinion: Of Yahaya Bello and the Urgent Need to Fix the Lokoja-Abuja Road, By Abdullahi O. Haruna
What to do so that a governor will not have to become a traffic warden when he is supposed to be attending to other vital functions of the state? The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Works, needs to urgently find a way to fix the road, which has become hell on earth for Nigerian travellers plying the route, which is the main gateway to the north and south divides of the country.
The bucket list of what-to-do for a diligent governor is never exhausted, especially in a developing country like Nigeria that needs all hands on deck in order to move the country out of its current economic quagmire and political stagnation.
According information reliably gathered, commuters and motorists slept on the Gegu-Koton Karfe axis of the Lokoja-Abuja road for two days due to the troubling traffic snarl on the road, occasioned by a partial lockdown of one side of the two-laned Murtala Bridge on the Jamata portion of the road.
