Lokogoma residents seek government intervention over damaged access road
Residents of Lokogoma in Abuja have appealed to the Federal Capital Territory Administration and Abuja Municipal Area Council to rehabilitate a damaged access road, with Pentville Estate chairman Augustine Osayande saying substantial repairs exceed the estate’s resources.
Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria on October 29, Osayande said residents had used personal funds to repair roads serving the community. He called for an inspection and lasting rehabilitation.
