The Minister of Works, David Umahi, assured the ministry under his watch will construct a flyover as a permanent solution to end the perennial flooding on the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
This was stated on Tuesday during his tour to some work site alongside the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello to inspect ongoing construction works on the Abuja-Lokoja road a day after his inauguration into office.
According to the minister, the Abuja-Lokoja road is a major gateway that links the southwest, south-south, and southeast regions to the Federal Capital Territory and the northern parts of the country, urging the contractors handling the road project to use concrete as there will be a review and redesign of the road contracts.
In his remarks, the Kogi governor commended the minister for choosing to visit the state as his first field assignment and pledged to give all necessary support to the minister and the contractors handling the road.
