Pics: 1 year after Nyanya bomb blast, road leading to the place still barricaded

A LIB reader writes in...
One year after Nyanya bomb blast, security operatives still barricade the road going up Nyanya flyover, causing motorists of Mararaba, Nyanya, Karu, Jikwoyi and  environs untold hardship. The Nyanya park has been relocated to the roadside by the market, causing heavy traffic gridlock, especially in the morning rush hour. Please kindly use your blog to help us appeal to relevant authorities for the road and the park to be reopened.

It didn't take five days before reopening Emab plaza after the bomb explosion there,  so why is this one different? We have suffered too much on account of this. Imagine spending four hours in traffic for a journey that ordinarily takes ten to fifteen minutes. By the time one gets to work, it's already 10-11am, depending on when one leaves the house. Exhaustion and tension then renders one less effective for that day. In the long run,  this affects the nation's GDP, since productivity is reduced. Thanks in anticipation that you will share our plight with the world to hear.

  5. What's the need of still locking the park?
    They should rehabilitate it and open it.
    Security should just alert.
    That's all

  28. I hope the government is seeing this. What a shame. Every time I pass that place I can only imagine how bad it is for those who have to go through that every morning. I guess the government does not consider this place part of abuja which is one reason why the major checkpoint into abuja is AFTER Nyanya

  29. The traffic around that spot is nothing to write home about! I know with the help of our very own lindodo interpreting well to the government they will do something very fast.

  30. This is just the truth. It even appears the minister and army authorities have forgotten to reopen the road after one year now. How will they even remember when they have nothing bringing them to that part of town. Meanwhile the temporary bus-stop by NNPC filling station is even a worse arrangement, as any suicide bomber can easily mingle with the ever-teeming crowd. The minister is busy playing politics with the situation. God dey!
