Motorists have been left stranded after a section of the Kano-Maiduguri expressway was washed away by a severe flood caused by heavy downpour. The incident left the major highway impassable and causing significant disruption to transportation in the region.

Speaking at the scene on Thursday, Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, emphasised the importance of the road, which serves as a critical link between the North-West and North-East parts of Nigeria. He has also assured residents and motorists that he will inform the Federal Government of the situation to seek immediate intervention. The Governor expressed concern over the impact of the flood, which has not only disrupted travel but also poses a threat to the livelihoods of those who rely on the expressway for commerce and daily activities.

Governor Mohammed emphasized the need for swift action to repair the damaged portion of the road and called on relevant agencies to provide immediate relief to those affected by the flood. He also highlighted the importance of long-term measures to prevent future occurrences of such incidents, particularly in flood-prone areas.

Umahi is always on point and thats reason why i believe that Calabar-Lagos and that Sokoto-Badagry will be a success

A square peg in a square hole

What is the Governor of Bauchi doing in Kano-Maiduguri road?

If to say the road was constructed by a reputable construction company, they would have know where to create big culvert in anticipation of this type of natural phenomenon. But Politics played it's role and this is the resultant effects within a short time.

Umaih will use this one and chop well well.


I left.

I'm not saying he shouldn't call federal Government but efforts should be made to at least find temporary solution for travellers.

That's the foolish mentality of all our governors. I wonder what their functions are exactly.

It would be rebuilt sharp sharp with the oil money from the south.

Upon all the money the northern government are stealing they can't build standard express road for their citizens.

Just the beauty of mediocre leadership..

Person wen get sense and fear of God go use concrete with rods inside but the opposite is what we have.. they will repeat the mess again because it's in the blood..

Mad oOoOO

It's well

C h a i..








The idiotic kofornor is even doing big boy with the way he posed his glasses,,

Opportunity to steal don come!!

I know the repair of that short space will cost N752 billion.

The water spirit don vex with their own way of violent protest,,

A new "Upper North" geopolitical zone has been created, where boko touts have taken territory.

The flood kukuma divide them from mainland Naijay-Area,,

Damn it

What is the Governor of Bauchi doing in Kano-Maiduguri road?

That's the name of the expressway.
But that cut is actually in bauchi.
I ply that route often.

It is similar to port harcourt enugu expressway.
You have abia in between but it is called port harcourt enugu expressway.

Government will be seeing this and be thinking maybe they can use this type of thing to block protesters from coming out
