Avoid Lokoja-Kabba highway, FRSC warns travellers

Motorists coming from the South-West and heading for Abuja and those from Abuja and travelling to the South-West have been told to avoid the  Lokoja-Kabba federal highway for now,

The Federal Road Safety Corps gave the warning on Tuesday, saying there is a gully in the centre of the road between Zariagi and Obajana cement factory and advised people to use alternative routes.

The agency, in a statement by its spokesperson, Bisi Kazeem, said the road, which caved in had led to an obstruction to free flow of traffic, adding that the concerned authorities were making efforts to repair it.

Commuters and motorists were asked to use Lokoja-Okene-Kabba, or Lokoja-Okene-Ogorimangogo roads as alternative routes to or fro the South-West.

“This development has led to an obstruction of free flow of traffic . As all the concerned authorities are making frantic efforts to carry out emergency repairs to restore normal flow of traffic, the emergency work may take some hours to complete,” the statement said.

It added, “In view of the foregoing, motorists, travellers, and the general public are hereby advised to use Lokoja-Okene-Kabba, or Lokoja-Okene-Ogorimangogo as alternative routes to or from South-West.

“The Federal Road Safety Corps solicits maximum cooperation of the motoring public on this development. The Corps will also continue to update the public periodically on further developments on the ameliorative work going on at the failed portion of the road.”
