Kwara government closes Gaa-Akanbi access road for repair

The Kwara government has temporarily closed the access road into Gaa-Akanbi from Offa-Garage roads as it begins the emergency repair on the access slabs in the area.
The commissioner for works and transport, Suleiman Iliasu, confirmed this in a statement on Monday.
“The temporary closure is to protect workers from the traffic, as well as shield motorists from the potential hazards of a construction site,” Mr Iliasu said.
He urged residents to exercise patience and use alternative routes.
“While work begins on the access road, we plead with road users to use the Agba-Dam Road and the Pipeline Road off Offa-Garage Road. Other alternative routes include the Admiralty Road and Omosebi Road,” Mr Iliasu said.
The commissioner explained that the closure is for the general public’s safety and smoother road travel within the axis.
