The roads linking Lokoja through Kabba - Mopa - Isanlu to Ilorin is in a terrible state and when i spoke with many of the residents i was made to know that it is as a result of the numerous Obajana Cement heavy trucks (an average of 20 in number per day) transporting cement through that road on a daily basis. Road transportation from Ilorin to Abuja now takes about 4 more hours longer and cost more than before as commercial transporters now avoid the road and would rather go from kwara State to Ekiti State then back to Kogi State to Abuja just to avoid that particular road. It's a much longer route but this will save the commercial drivers from the dangers of passing through that road.

It's a federal road but the road grew from bad to worse when the cement trucks started transporting through that road on a daily basis.
Obajana cement factory was meant to be a blessing to the state but this issue of damages to the roads needs to be looked into. It seems the tax being collected from Dangote's Obajana cement is not being used to address the dilapitating state of the roads.
