Kogi Governor Vows to Fine and Forfeit Trucks Damaging Lokoja Road

Governor Ahmed Ododo inspected the damaged GYB Junction–Zango–Lokoja road and ordered strict action against overloaded trucks. He said the route was built for light vehicles, not heavy mining trucks. He accused miners of diverting their vehicles to evade tax checkpoints and directed the sealing of illegal access points. Ododo warned that any truck found on this restricted road will face heavy fines and possible forfeiture. He also asked the state revenue service to step up enforcement against defaulters. The construction firm has begun remedial works. Barriers and concrete planters will restrict heavy trucks, while the foundation and pavement sections will be strengthened to prevent future damage.
