Busy as ever, but beautiful to see members of NRSC keeping it under control. Motorists get to drive like sane people. Visiting was fun

Review №2

The place is not too bad as the road is a bit wide bit one has to watch out for rough drivers and bike riders. One can also get good cheap clothes. There are motor parks there that can take one to almost everywhere in Nigeria, so giving it a 3 star is the best I can do.

Jos Road Trip...... Episode 6Back to the food basket. The biggest roundabout in the state looking deserted a day after workers day as workers continue to lament.While her sister state brags to pay salaries up to the end of the year without loan, bailout, Paris Funds etc, the state has declares a state of emergency on salaries after several months of nonpayment.Also, as the beer billboards stand tall and the beer parlours remain a source of consolation with the meager resources, Nigerian Breweries Management deliver on their target to close down Makurdi Brewery.

Wurukum roundabout is a landmark in Makurdi, and indeed the entire Benue State. The sculpted Basket of Food is meant to depict the abundance of food in the land. Indeed the words Food Basket of the Nation have been used to describe Benue State, attesting to its richness in agricultural produce.The Wurukum roundabout links travellers from the North of Nigeria to the South, East, and West, and it is a central hub for the local community too.You can live in Makurdi without going through this roundabout at least once in a day, as your business is likely to take you around it even more than once.A lovely sight to behold. It was constructed by (who knows who; am not a researcher lol) and remodelled by both the Akume administration and Suswam administrations. It was renovated by the Ortom administration.

The de-facto gateway into the heart of Makurdi. Its rather undersized compared to peak traffic needs and its probably in need of a reinterpretation despite its rather iconic status.

There is absolutely no makurdi without this roundabout as this is the monumental representation of what Benue state is. A food basket of the nation and this roundabout reminds everyone, both residents and those connecting to the southern parts of Nigeria about this fact. It is a beautiful concept

Wurukukum roundabout is a place where you found multiple motors moving every seconds, that place is always busy, chocked up with multiple people and motors moving from one place to another, one thing that make the roundabout great is the food basket of the nation stature their, when you get there you must see a lot of beautiful things, luxurious cars, lorry, trailers, jeeps, and other deference cars and motor cycles moving, the place is a kind of beautiful but not great looking compare to some other states roundabout, the traffic light in the place has been put off due to some few reasons...
