A heavy downpour-induced flood has cut off a significant part of Kano-Maiduguri Expressway at Malori-Guskuri, a community in Katagum local government area of Bauchi State.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the development has rendered the road impassable, forcing motorists to use alternative routes to their destinations.
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 appealed to the Federal Government to urgently intervene and repair the damaged part of the highway to ease transportation of goods and services for the overall benefits of the citizens.
To him, urgent intervention by federal government was necessary to prevent carnage and associated harships on the highway.
Governor Mohammad added that his administration would work out apt modalities to maintain some of the Federal Roads in the state as the rainy season continues.
