Road users on the Chereponi-Yendi stretch have appealed to the government to urgently repair the road, which has deteriorated further due to the rainy season.
The road is flooded, making travel challenging and stressful. Residents and commuters are calling for attention to the deplorable road conditions, which have been neglected for too long.
“You should have come during the rainy season. But when it came to the flagbearer-ship, candidates were able to pass on the road and to our information, on papers, the road has been tarred, only for them to come and see that the road isn’t tarred. It’s a very sad situation here.”
The Yendi-Chereponi road is a critical route connecting Chereponi to the Northern region and the rest of the country.
However, its terrible state has left commuters relying on old, unreliable vehicles, praying to reach their destinations safely.
The road passes through three districts: Yendi Municipal, Saboba District, and Chereponi District, with the worst sections in Saboba and Yendi districts.
According to the District Chief Executive for Chereponi, Hajia Nashiru Zuwera, efforts are underway to fix the road, with 6.4 km of repairs completed in the Chereponi District.
More chippings have been delivered to continue the work. However, commuters are urging the government to expedite the repairs to avoid further hardships and potential robberies by armed robbers who exploit the poor road conditions.
