The House of Representatives on Wednesday urged the Federal
Government to commence expansion work on all auxiliary routes into the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT).
This came following a motion moved by Rep. Gaza Gbwefi
(Nasarawa-PDP) on the need to address incessant gridlock on
Karu/Nyanya/Mararaba road.
Gbwefi, representing Karu/Keffi/Kokona Federal Constituency
of Nasarawa state, expressed concern on the constant traffic gridlock being
experienced by motorists and commuters along the Karu/Nyanya/Mararaba axis.
He said that the gridlock had often times resulted in
avoidable accidents and a major occurrence with resultant toll on the populace
living in the axis.
According to him, a large proportion of the labour force
that service the manpower needs of the FCT residing on the axis had been
greatly affected by the gridlock.
The motion was adopted unanimously and the House called on
the FCTA as well as Nasarawa State Government to relocate the night market
along the road and also provide car parks and bus stops to ease traffic.
