Motorists plying the Kabba–Omuo–Ekiti road have expressed concern over the slow pace of construction on the corridor, citing frequent gridlock, vehicle damage and loss of man-hours.
They noted that the road is a crucial interstate economic route connecting communities between Kogi and Ekiti States.
Motorists who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday lamented that passenger patronage had dropped sharply since construction began, stating that many commuters now take alternative routes to avoid delays.
They appealed to the Federal Government to prevail on the contractor handling the project to speed up work in order to ease vehicular movement, improve livelihoods, and boost commercial and socio-economic activities in the area.
The respondents, while expressing displeasure over the slow pace of work on the road, noted that prevailing global economic conditions could be a hindrance to completion timelines.
