Declare Lokoja-Abuja Road a National Emergency Now — KOCCIMA President

Image
The President of the Kogi Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture [KOCCIMA], Dr. Akerejola Demiloye, has again called on the Federal Government to complete the Lokoja-Abuja road, lamenting that Nigerians endure severe hardship on the route every festive season. Dr. Akerejola said KOCCIMA had earlier calculated the economic losses businesses suffer due to the persistent gridlock at Banda-Nataco. Just weeks ago, he noted, that the Easter period saw massive losses from traffic standstill, and the same situation has recurred days before the Eid El Kabir festival. “For how long will Nigerians suffer? For how long will businesses bear these losses?” he asked. “The time to declare a national disaster on the Lokoja-Abuja road cannot be better than now. What is the crime of businesses and motorists? The energy spent on politics and political rhetoric on the Abuja-Lokoja road should now be directed to action by the President.” KOCCIMA estimates that the gridlock costs bu...

Why Yagba East Should Return Hon. Emmanuel Obaro to Consolidate Legislative Gains

Image
Stakeholders in Yagba East Local Government Area are making the case for the return of Hon. Emmanuel Obaro to the Kogi State House of Assembly, arguing that continuity is needed to consolidate ongoing projects and legislative efforts. Obaro, who currently represents Yagba East in the Assembly on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, has been credited by constituents and party leaders for pushing initiatives in education, rural infrastructure, youth empowerment, and healthcare access during his tenure. Supporters say a second term would allow him to complete several capital projects already in motion, including classroom renovations in rural schools, grading of feeder roads, and facilitation of medical outreach programs. They argue that legislative work often requires more than one term to move from appropriation to full implementation and oversight. “Hon. Obaro has laid the groundwork. Changing representation now risks stalling projects that are halfway thro...
