Abuja-Lokoja Road: A National Shame – Kogi PDP Chairman
The Abuja-Lokoja road is stuck in gridlock, with over 10,000 vehicles trapped for over 12 hours. Kogi State PDP Chairman, Hon. Muhammed Sanni Gambo, has slammed the Federal and State Governments, saying they should “hide their face in shame”.
Hon. Gambo who spent 7 hours on a spot traveling to Abuja, blamed government ineptitude for the road’s poor state, citing 20 years of abandoned construction. He suggested proper funding and competent contractors could fix the issue.
The road he said is a major gateway linking the Federal Capital Territory to North Central and parts of the South, serving food supplies, fuel distribution, and manufactured goods.
