Paul Ibe, a media adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has urged David Umahi, the Minister of Works, to immediately fix a stretch of the Abuja-Keffi Highway that is in terrible shape.
In a video he posted on Saturday, Paul Ibe showed the damaged road at the Mogadishu Barracks (formerly Sani Abacha Barracks) and the entrance of NAF Valley Estate in Abuja. He made the appeal the same day.
The state of the highway, he claims, is now the primary cause of traffic jams, particularly during rush hour.
He expressed the urgent need to address a part of the Abuja-Keffi Highway at the Mogadishu Barracks and the entrance to the NAF Valley Estate.
While criticising the highway’s reconstruction and reopening, he pointed out that it was done with much fanfare only three years ago.
“During rush hours, in particular, its terrible condition causes traffic jams that stretch for kilometres,” he said.
In addition, Ibe voiced his disapproval of the road’s recurrent patchwork and argued that the authorities in charge of overseeing and authorising the project ought to face consequences.
Several patches of work dot the highway, highlighting the low quality of the job. The individual responsible for authorising this task should be held accountable,” he remarked, mentioning the Federal Ministry of Works simultaneously.
Residents and drivers alike have responded to the post, with many lamenting the state of the highway between Abuja and Nasarawa State and the escalating traffic problems caused by a lack of upkeep.
Several sections of central and northern Nigeria can be reached from the Federal Capital Territory via the Abuja-Keffi Road, which is still one of the country’s principal thoroughfares………See More
