Commuters along the Nyanya–Keffi Expressway in Abuja faced severe traffic disruption on Tuesday evening after strong winds damaged the Kugbo Bus Terminal, inaugurated just nine months ago by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
According to viral photos, the roof of the terminal, which has yet to be put into operation, was torn off by the gusts, scattering debris across the busy highway.
The obstruction worsened congestion as workers were returning home, leaving vehicles stranded in long queues.

Witnesses said the collapse reignited questions about the resilience of public infrastructure in the capital.
RoundReports recalls that the incident comes only hours after Wike ordered the arrest of a developer over a separate building collapse in Jikwoyi.
"Despite the lack of formal approval, the company proceeded with construction, leading to the eventual structural failure.
"It is important that we act decisively. Where there is a clear violation, the law must take its course," Wike had said.
