Truck drivers have taken to social media to express their frustration over the deplorable condition of the Benin road, calling on the Federal Government to urgently intervene before the festive period.
A Vanguard investigation into the situation, including a review of videos shared on social media, showed commuters and truck drivers stranded for hours on the road. In some instances, motorists were seen carrying out basic daily activities, including brushing their teeth, beside their vehicles after spending extended periods in traffic.
One of the truck drivers, who spoke in a video, lamented the prolonged journey, saying, “From Lagos to Benin is four hours, but when you get to Benin, we spend three days.”
