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 Federal Controller of Works in Kogi State, Engr Jimoh
Kajogbola gave the warning in a statement in Lokoja, admonishing 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.
