Sobre este Trap
The federal road from Akure toward Ado-Ekiti, the usual way to Ikogosi, has only one rehabilitated carriageway so far. Reports in August 2026 said the second carriageway was still outstanding and that contractors had been told to return to site. Expect a slower drive than the map suggests, leave early so you are back before dark, and ask your driver or hotel about current conditions before you set off.
