The FRSC on Sunday announced the closure
of Abuja-Lokoja road due to the overflow of River Niger which has made
it dangerous and impassable.
It has announced additional alternative routes for vehicles coming into Abuja from the South-South and South West zones.
Mr Augustine Aipoh, the zonal commander
in charge of the FCT and Niger, who announced the routes, directed
motorists from the zones to take Jebba-Mokwa-Makera-Tegina-Suleja-Abuja
route.
Aipoh said that they could also take
Zungeru-Minna-Lambata-Suleja-Abuja or
Jebba-Mokwa-Kutigi-Bida-Lapai-Lambata-Suleja-Abuja road.
Motorists driving from Lagos and wishing
to use Okene-Lokoja-Abuja road are urged to divert to
Okene-Ajaokuta-Ayangba-Ankpa-Makurdi Lafia-Akwanga-Abuja route.
It said those coming from the South East
should use Otukpa-Makurdi route and those driving from Abuja to Lokoja
should use Akwanga-Lafia-Makurdi-Ankpa-Okene route.
