A video of the federal highway linking Kano to Maiduguri, lower off by a extreme flood and leaving motorists and residents stranded as they seek for different routes, has stirred feelings on-line.
The extraordinary flooding, which occurred on August 9, created a large crater in the midst of the highway, forcing motorists to hunt different routes.
Throughout an on-site inspection, Bauchi State Governor Bala Muhammad emphasised the highway’s significance as a crucial conduit between Nigeria’s Northwest and Northeast areas.
Governor Muhammad expressed concern over the extreme harm, highlighting that the twin carriageways on the Northeast freeway have been totally washed out.
In an announcement to journalists, Governor Muhammad appealed to the Federal Authorities for pressing intervention.
“This can be a main freeway, the Northeast freeway, and the twin carriageways have been utterly washed away. We’re calling on the federal authorities to help. We’ll report this situation to Abuja by way of the Controller of Works. If they’re unable to handle the issue, we are going to take motion to implement remedial or everlasting measures, as we did over the last wet season.’‘ he stated.
