President Bola Tinubu has authorized the immediate reconstruction of the Wagga Bridge, which connects Adamawa and Borno, according to Mohammed Goni, Director-General of the North East Development Commission.
Goni made this announcement during a second inspection of the collapsed bridge in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa on Sunday. He noted that while an initial assessment was completed during the first inspection, the bridge has now fully collapsed.
Due to ongoing rainfall, Goni indicated that reconstruction work might be delayed but promised that alternative solutions would be provided to facilitate vehicle movement. He also assured the public that damaged culverts along the road would be addressed.
