President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Dr Samson Ayokunle, has condemned the Federal Government for its inability to complete the 200-kilometre Abuja-Lokoja highway.
He said that it was a national embarrassment that the road had remained under construction for 15 years.
He said it was even more embarrassing that no date had yet been fixed for completion and inauguration of the road project.
Ayokunle stated his position in Lokoja on Monday at the official inauguration of the Government House Chapel for Christian worshippers built by the Alhaji Yahaya Bello-led administration in Kogi State.
“Lokoja-Abuja highway is a shame of the country. Do something and remove this shame; 15 years constructing a 200-km road is a shame,” he said.
Governor Yahaya Bello, who was represented by his deputy, Chief Edward Onoja, thanked God for giving them the wisdom and strength to construct a chapel for Christian denominations in the state in the seat of government.
