The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has announced the diversion of traffic on the Abuja-Lokoja Highway, citing the current flooding around some sections of the expressway.
In a statement issued by Bisi Kazeem, an Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, the FRSC listed other roads that could be used by motorists.
The statement noted: “This is to inform the general public, that owing to the flooding around Kortonkarfi in Lokoja, Kogi State, which has impeded the free flow of traffic on the Lokoja-Abuja Expressway for the last three days, motorists travelling to the South-West region of the country through Lokoja are kindly advised to take the Suleja-Bida-Mokwa road, while those travelling to the South-South/South-East regions through same town are also advised to go through Nasarawa-Oweto Bridge-Adoka-Otupka axis.
This is due to the fact that the water level may take another two or more days to subside.”
