The Loko-Oweto bridge, a Sukuk Bond-funded project that straddles the Benue River is now 100% completed, while the 74-kilometre stretch of the road, first awarded in 2006 under President Obasanjo, is nearing completion.

Already, the new road has been a boon to travellers as well as the communities lying on its path. Residents of communities in Loko who spoke with Idoma TELEVISION affirmed that business activities have become brisk since the bridge was completed.

With this new route, the six-hour journey from Abuja to the heart of Benue is reduced by half to just over three hours.
