Abandoned Ganaja Road: Kogi Commissioner Urges FG to Intervene

By Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Kogi Commissioner for Works and Housing, Engr Abubakar Ohere on Thursday in Lokoja called on the Federal Government to order the Contractors handling Ganaja roads to return to site that has been abandoned over two months ago.

Ohere who made the call while inspecting ongoing works across the state when he made a stop over to inspect work at the ongoing flyover bridge at Ganaja junction expressed dismay that the contractors have worsened the state of the road before abandoning it.

Engr. Ohere disclosed that abandoning the ‘Ganaja junction — Ganaja village road’ is not in the best interest of the State and urged the Federal government to intervene to make it more motorable instead of living it in a such pathetic condition.

According to the Commissioner, ”If you do stone base, the maximum it can last is twenty one days but if you live it for three months like the case of the Ganaja road, and you are not working on it, it becomes very retrogressive”, and called for the federal government’s intervention to alleviate the suffering of the masses.

The Commissioner expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of works on the “Ganaja flyover bridge”, adding that Kogi has been turned into a huge construction site courtesy of Gov. Yahaya Bello, assuring that the Ganaja flyover bridge would be delivered as planned.

Engr. Ohere disclosed that the bulk of the state’s resources is been channeled into infrastructure development inspite paucity of funds in the state.

The Commissioner reiterated the commitment of Gov. Yahaya Bello’s administration to deliver the Ganaja flyover by December this year having achieved the level of work thus far.

The commissioner who disclosed that the work would soon move to the next stage of capping, casing, mounting of hangers, bitumen, expressed satisfaction that the drain work and platforms for the street lighting is also ongoing.

He commended motorists for their patience and understanding with the construction company and the government, assuring that when completed, the job would be for the betterment of the people.
