If you are a motorist who travels regularly on the North Western part of Nigeria, you must have experienced the deplorable conditions of Kwanar huguma- Wudil Road. The road is rotten and filled with potholes, thereby making it extremely difficult for motorists. This road is said to have claimed many lives because of the potholes. It serves as a gateway to many Northern states including Jigawa, Kano, Katsina.
One fateful Monday, as I was coming back from Kano to Bauchi, our vehicle was involved in an accident. The driver was driving on the wrong lane. Two other accidents occurred same day also caused by driving on wrong lane. The Jigawa- Kano road, therefore, needs to be renovated to avoid fatal accidents. I urge the government at the federal and states’ Ministry of Works and Transport, FERMA and all other concerned authorities to fix the road immediately and save lives.
