Magama-Saminaka Road: An alternative to Gada-Biyu Road when repaired

The gruesome killing of the 22 innocent Muslim commuters at Gada-Biyu area of Zaria road, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State is very unfortunate and unacceptable.

This isn’t the first time innocent minds have been attacked in the area since 2001 Jos crises; the area has become the dead zone of innocent commuters in Jos, the capital of city Plateau State.

Therefore, there is a need for the government to urgently intervene in the matter so as to bring an end to this uncompassionate act before it takes different dimensions by bringing the culprits to book as well as providing an alternative road.

On this basis, I’m appealing to the federal and state governments to immediately work hand-in- hand to construct or repair the roads linking Bauchi to Kaduna State; from Magama Gumau to Saminaka.

If repaired, the road will be of great significance to everyone by reducing the plight of the commuters who are coming from the Southern part of the country to Northeast.

Magama to Saminaka roads will be more secure and safer than that of Gada-Biyu, Jos North, in Plateau State.

From Bauchi, the road will link you to Saminaka and from Saminaka to Zaria, Kaduna, Abuja among others. That is to say anybody coming from Abuja, Zaria, Kaduna or Kano must not follow tyhrough Jos.

Finally, I am calling on the authorities to do the needful and bring the culprits to book so as to avoid losing the lives of innocent commuters along that way.
