The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised motorists travelling to or from the South-West to avoid the Lokoja-Kabba Highway due to a gully around the Obajana cement factory in Kogi State.
This was disclosed in a statement on Tuesday by FRSC Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem.
The statement reads in part, “Members of the motoring public and general commuters travelling from or to South-West, through Lokoja-Kabba Federal Highway are hereby notified of the caving in of a section of the road between Zariagi and Obajana cement factory.
“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 Corps, therefore, advised commuters to use Lokoja-Okene-Kabba or Lokoja-Okene-Ogorimangogo roads as alternative travel routes until the completion of repairs on the affected Lokoja-Kabba Highway.
