FG Orders Opening Of Bye-pass In Lokoja-Abuja Road by HammedSodiqq: 5:42am On Sep 27, 2012 |
Reprieve came the way of stranded motorists along Lokoja-Abuja road, as the Federal Government directed the opening of an identified bye-pass along the road on Wednesday. Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolemenen, stated this after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice-President Namadi Sambo. Onolemenen said the bye-pass, which had been created around the flooded area would be opened to motorists from Thursday. He said government had engaged construction giants in the country to create the bye-pass as a temporary measure to ease the suffering of commuters. He said, “What we’ve been doing since yesterday morning is that around the flooded area, we identified a bye-pass which we have created. “As at this morning, we have attained about 60 per cent completion. From the way we are going, by tomorrow, the road should be opened to motorists. “We have done a diversion at those drainages and vehicles will be able to now drive normally through this bye-pass without having recourse to canoes on our roads as a result of the flooding that happened. “For us, that was a national priority because we needed to open that particular transport corridor so that movement between the southern states and the northern states will not be impaired. “We have done that and I want Nigerians to be assured that government is with them in this situation and that government will continue to do all in its power to ensure that the pains are reduced to the barest minimum.” Also Minister of Environment, Hajia Hadiza Mailafia, said a Presidential Committee set up by President Goodluck Jonathan to assess the impact of flooding across the country presented a preliminary report to the Council. She said the committee visited seven states to ascertain the extent of impact of the flood on life and infrastructure and to identify immediate areas of intervention. She said, “The most devastating that we have witnessed is that of Kogi State where we have a major road completely made impassable. “We have also seen a lot of infrastructure submerged and witnessed very traumatising experiences by people that were affected.” Mailafia said among the consequences of the flooding was huge loss of farmlands which might likely pose a threat to food security. Meanwhile, Chairman, State Emergency Management Agency of Kogi State, Mr. Yomi Awoniyi, has said about eight people and over N5bn were lost in the flooding that is ravaging the state. He stated that six persons lost their lives and two others are still missing. In an interview with journalists in Lokoja on Wednesday, he said the devastation occasioned by the flood was enormous. He stated that many farmlands had been washed away, buildings, roads and bridges submerged and farm produce destroyed. http://www.punchng.com/news/fg-orders-opening-of-bye-pass-in-lokoja-abuja-road/ |

Good to know the Nigeria govt is already thinking ahead if the below is executed as proposed. The Federal Government has approved the sum of N1.3 billion for consultancy services on the feasibility studies of five fast rail lines across the country due for completion within seven months. Briefing journalists after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by the Vice-President, Namadi Sambo, the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, said the proposed New Standard Gauge Railway Lines will create job opportunities for 51 Nigerian professionals and 115 non-professionals during execution. The fast train lines, according to the Minister of Transport, Idris Umar, are: Lagos-Osogbo-Abuja (615km), which could be covered within three hours with five stops; Lagos-Shagamu-Benin (300km); Ajaokuta-Obajana-Abuja (533km); Zaria-Sokoto-Illela (520km) and Benin-Onitsha-Aba (500km). http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/fg-to-spend-n1-3bn-on-lagos-abuja-four-other-fast-rail-lines/126152/ |

I really don't know who taught some myopic and disgruntled Elements how to browse (From their posts, they are no better that a Pre-Historic Bison). I wonder what people learn in school these days . its so Sad that @ this present day where information is common place,we still find 1mbeciles roaming the internet. You can Easily tell their kind as they turn any good discourse into a Tribal or Religious Fight. Let's Grow up and Make Nigeria a better Place. |

Have they done a structural study on the Murtala Bridge to ascertain if the flood has not weakened it? A bye-pass is commendable, but what is the long term solution to ensure such doesnt repeat itself again? Are we pro-active against such situations? Government cannot stop an imminent flood, but can take concrete steps to ensure that its impact is minimal to the population by PLANNING AHEAD! 2 Likes |
