Avoid Lokoja-Abuja Road For Now – FG Warns Motorists



Nigerians have been warned by the Federal Government to avoid travelling to the North from the Southern and Eastern parts of the country through the Lokoja-Abuja dual carriageway in Kogi state.
 
The warning was given by the Federal Controller of Works in Kogi State, Engr Jimoh Kajogbola in a statement in Lokoja.
 
He 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.”
 
The alternative roads, according to him, should be adhered to pending the time the water level will recede.
 
Kajogbola said that the advice 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.
