The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has called on the Chinese contractors handling Abuja -Keffi road project for the Federal Government to take measures that would address the unending grilock on the ever busy road.
Senior Special Assistant on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement to the FCT minister, Ikharo Attah after a parley with the contractors on Friday, said the long jam on the ever busy route was worrisome.
He explained that the hellish traffic being experienced on that road axis, resumed on Thursday, making commuters and residents stranded for hours over an emergency diversion said to have been created by construction contractors without proper communication.
Attah who led heads of traffic management agencies to the construction site, said decision that affects traffic along that road axis, should not be too impromptu, as it could cripple socio-economic activities.
The SSA while urging the construction engineers to always create synergy with relevant traffic management agencies, noted that early and proper communication can save commuters of the excruciating traffic pains.
He stated that early communication would enable the relevant agencies to massively deplore human resources that will ensure a seamless traffic flow, especially when there is any accidental or construction emergencies.
According to him, FCTA had demonstrated commitment and support to the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing over the road project, and would do more to ensure its completion.
He went further to commend the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Nyanya unit Commander, Sabena Musa and her men, for sacrifices they made in controlling the terrifying traffic gridlock.
