APC Forum Decries ‘Deplorable’ Condition of Federal Roads 

The Forum of Stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has decried the deplorable condition of some federal roads in Nigeria.

Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, the North-Central Chairman of the forum, said this in an interaction with newsmen on Wednesday in Jos.

Zazzaga described some of the federal roads as ”death traps”, particularly those within the north-central region.

He said that some of the deplorable roads in the region include Jos-Akwanga, Makurdi-Oturkpo-Otukpa, Makurdi-Ankpa, and Jos-Saminaka.

Other roads that needed urgent attention, he said, included Suleja-Minna, Ejule-Otukpa, Ganawuri-Manchok, Lokoja-Abuja, Lapai-Agaie-Bida, Birnin-Gwari-Bokani-Mokwa, Minna-Zungeru-Tegina-Kontagora.

”Currently, the north-central region has the most deplorable roads and highways in the country.

”These deplorable roads have brought severe hardship on the people and lost lives and property through preventable road traffic crashes.

”We call on President Bola Tinubu to intervene and ensure the rehabilitation of these roads because good roads are vital enablers of development,” he said.

The chairman also called on governors of states within the region to reconstruct the dilapidated roads and seek refunds from the federal government.

”Though these are largely federal roads, they are located within states, and the beneficiaries are the people of these states.

”So we call on state governments to reconstruct these roads and seek refunds from the federal government,” he added.
