Ahead the Christmas and New year festivities several motorists are currently stranded on the ever busy Abuja Lokoja Okene road.
Investigation by our reporter indicates that the road has in the past 2 days witnessed high volumes of traffic which has led to a chaotic situation on the road coupled with the poor state of the highway.
Worst hit part of the highway is the notorious Kabba Junction, which forced many motorists to spend the night on the road between Sunday and Monday morning as traffic was on a stand still.
According to one traveler, Mr Ademola Matthew, who spoke to our correspondent on phone the situation is a serious one that deserves urgent government attention.
“The is a serious source of concern for travelers heading from Abuja to the South West and the South South many of us have been here in the last 24 hours and the situation has not changed vehicular movement is at a stand still”
With the yuletide season in full swing and many more people expected to hit the road before Christmas the traffic snarl is expected to worsen.
