Residents of Kabusa in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are urging the government and relevant authorities to urgently address the deteriorating condition of Kabusa Road. Despite recent rehabilitation efforts, the road continues to suffer from potholes, dust, traffic delays and difficult movement, particularly during the rainy season.
The road is a crucial route connecting Kabusa with Ketti, Pyakasa and other nearby communities, as well as serving as an important access road for commuters traveling to Abuja city centre. However, the road's condition has worsened due to poor maintenance, inadequate drainage, and the frequent passage of heavy-duty trucks involved in construction and estate development projects.
Community members have attempted to fill potholes with gravel, but these temporary fixes are quickly washed away by rainfall or damaged by vehicle movement. Residents have called for proper drainage systems, road widening, and a regular maintenance program to prevent further deterioration. The condition of the road has had a significant economic impact on traders and residents, who have endured muddy roads during the rainy season and dusty conditions during the dry season.
If urgent action is not taken, the poor state of the road could negatively affect businesses, property development, and overall community growth along the Kabusa axis.
