In a swift reaction, the state government, in a statement by the spokesman for the governor Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, said it consulted professional engineers before taking the decision.
In the statement, the government explained that the engineers had ascertained the fact that the roundabout construction was substandard and has the tendency to collapse between 2023 and 2024.
It added that “this is because it is done with used foam work and too much sandy materials instead of normal cement concrete.

“Aso, the structure is too tall to be placed in front of the government house as it defaces its main gate which blocks the view for security surveillance”
Additionally, it poses traffic challenges around the area because of its size, blocking the view of drivers accessing all routes linked through the roundabout.”The statement added
