The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has directed the immediate repair of the Lafia-Makurdi road following the flooding on the road, which prevented President Bola Tinubu from visiting Yelwata during his visit to Benue State on Wednesday.
Umahi, in a statement on Friday, said the development caused an embarrassment to President Tinubu and apologized for the state of the road.
The Minister explained that the flooding was caused by the poor management of the road by the private concessionaire managing the tolled highway.
