President Tinubu Orders Urgent Repairs on Benin-Agbor-Asaba, Ekiti-Kogi Roads

President Bola Tinubu has ordered urgent intervention on the badly damaged Benin-Agbor-Asaba road and the Ifaki-Kabba-Ado Ekiti road, following growing hardship for motorists.

Minister of Works David Umahi disclosed this on Tuesday through his spokesperson, Francis Nwaze, saying the President directed the ministry to take immediate action and restore movement on the affected roads.

Umahi has directed the Minister of State for Works, Bello Goronyo, to lead officials to the Ifaki-Kabba-Ado Ekiti axis to assess the damage and begin emergency repairs.

Meanwhile, Umahi has travelled to Benin in Edo State with members of the National Assembly Works Committees to coordinate intervention on the Benin-Agbor-Asaba road.

The meeting is expected to involve the Edo and Delta State Governments and the Niger Delta Development Commission as the Federal Government seeks urgent solutions to the traffic and road crisis affecting motorists.
