A heavy downpour on August 9th has caused significant damage to the federal highway connecting Kano to Maiduguri, particularly affecting the stretch between Malori and Guskuri villages in the Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State. The flooding created a large crater in the middle of the road, disrupting traffic and forcing motorists to seek alternative routes.
During a visit to the site to assess the extent of the damage, Bauchi State Governor Bala Muhammad emphasized the importance of this highway as a critical link between Nigeria's Northwest and Northeast regions. He urged the Federal Government to take immediate action to repair the damaged road, stressing that timely intervention is necessary to ensure the continued transportation of goods and services, which is vital for the well-being of the citizens.
“This is a major highway, the Northeast highway, and the dual carriageways have been completely washed away. We are calling on the federal government to assist. We will report this issue to Abuja through the Controller of Works. If they are unable to address the problem, we will take action to implement remedial or permanent measures, as we did during the last rainy season’’he said
Bauchi State has faced significant flooding this year, resulting in widespread destruction across several local government areas.
