FRSC Blocks Abuja-Lokoja Highway While Thousands Still Stranded
In a statement issued last night, the agency advised motorists to seek alternative routes to get into and outside Abuja.
On its part, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has warned of prolonged flooding in Lokoja and other affected areas in Kogi State as more water would still be released from the Lagdo Dam in Cameroun and Kainji Dam.
The warning came as thousands of people plying the Lokoja-Abuja expressway are still stranded in the Lokoja axis as a result of huge flooding that has cut off the road.
The director of planning, NEMA, Dr. Charles Agbo, gave the warning while inspecting the affected communities in company of Kogi State governor Wada Idris.
Dr. Agbo advised the state government to enforce the standard regulation on urban planning and development and relocate affected communities to safer places.
