Flooding has severed the Azare-Ja’amare road along the Kano-Maiduguri Highway in Bauchi State.
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, who inspected the affected area, reported the situation to Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, who had previously visited last week when the road was first threatened.

This incident comes just two weeks after heavy rainfall caused significant damage to a federal highway connecting Kano to Maiduguri, particularly between Malori and Guskuri villages in the Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
The flooding has created a large crater in the road, compelling motorists to seek alternative routes.
In recent weeks, Bauchi State in the North-East geopolitical zone has faced severe flooding, resulting in loss of life and widespread destruction of homes.
