Ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s scheduled visit to Benue State on Wednesday, June 18, the Makurdi–Lafia–Abuja road has been rendered impassable due to heavy flooding.
New Telegraph gathered that intense floodwater has overtaken the highway, a major corridor into Makurdi, forcing commuters to either postpone their journeys or seek shelter in safer areas.
