A heavy downpour has severely damaged the federal highway connecting Kano to Maiduguri, particularly between the Malori and Guskuri villages in the Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State.


The flood has created a large crater in the middle of the road, forcing motorists to find alternative routes.


While on a visit to assess the damage, the Bauchi State Governor Bala Muhammad highlighted the road’s significance as a crucial link between Nigeria’s Northwest and Northeast regions.


Briefing journalists on Thursday, Governor Muhammad urged the Federal Government to urgently repair the damaged road to facilitate the transportation of goods and services for the benefit of citizens.


“This is a major highway, the Northeast highway, and the dual carriageways have been completely washed away. We are calling on the federal government to assist. We will report this issue to Abuja through the Controller of Works,” he said.


“If they are unable to address the problem, we will take action to implement remedial or permanent measures, as we did during the last rainy season.”


Bauchi State has faced significant flooding this year, resulting in widespread destruction across several local government areas.
