By: Nkechi Isa
The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Department (FEMD), has reopened the barricaded slip road connecting the
Goodluck Jonathan Expressway with Ring Road II at the Galadimawa Interchange.
The Director of FEMD, Engr. Muhammad Dikko explained that the road was barricaded on July 7, 2026 to mitigate flooding during the rainy season.
Muhammad stated that the road was reopened to ease traffic flow now that the rainy season has ended.
“The onset of the rainy season in Abuja is usually in May, and the slip road is typically flooded every year, necessitating its closure.
He noted that the Federal Capital Development Authority and Engineering Services Department were working to ameliorate the environmental issues in the area.
” These agencies are proactive and are working towards a solution”. He said.
Also speaking, Engr Abdulkadir Musa, of the FCDA Engineering Services informed that the removal of the barricade was to ease traffic congestion on Ring Road 2.
” With the opening of the slip road all the traffic heading to the Airport Road can now pass through”. He said
Engr Abdulkadir further said that with the rains receding, the road has been reopened to decongest traffic from ISEX/ S20 also known as Oladipo Diya Way following construction work on the road.
