Motorists have been faced with harsh hold-up along Okene-Lokoja Federal road in the last five(5) days. The condition of the road, particularly the stretch close to GSS Ogaminana and Federal College of Education, Okene, is so terrible that trailers are sinking. Some travelers who spoke with Kogireports said they have to return to Kabba-Oshokoshoko-Obajana road to avoid been caught in the nerve-wrecking hold-up along OkeneLokoja road. Meanwhile, worried by the pain motorists have been going through due to the terrible state of the Okene-Lokoja road, particularly, at the Nagazi/FCE Okene section of the road, the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Nurudeen Abatemi-Usman has, once again, drawn the attention of the Minister of Works, Mike Onomelemem to the situation of the road. Speaking with the Minister from South Africa where he is currently representing Nigeria at the Pan African Parliament (PAP), the Senator requested that something very urgent should be done immediately to ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians who ply the road on a daily basis, as the major road that links the northern and southern part of the country. The minister’s response was positive as he assured Senator Deen that their contractor around Okene, Messrs CGC has been directed to move in today (Monday, October 13, 2014) and commence repair of the failed sections of the road. Onomelemem explained that the former contractor engaged by FERMA was dismissed due to the poor handling of the contract which has led to delay in the repair of the road.
