President Bola Tinubu has approved the release of N16.7 billion for the immediate reconstruction of the Mokwa Bridge in Niger State, which was destroyed by flooding in May.
The approval underscores the administration's responsiveness to urgent infrastructure needs. Idris commended Senator Umahi for his swift response, dispatching experts to assess the damage shortly after the bridge was washed away. "It's N16.7 billion to reconstruct the 10-span bridge," Idris stated.
Senator Umahi described President Tinubu as a compassionate and listening leader committed to solving citizens' challenges. He noted that the latest round of approvals for infrastructure provision cuts across all geo-political zones. These include the reconstruction of the washed-away 5-span bridge in Wukari, Taraba State, the Lokoja Bridge, and the permanent repair of the washed-away section of the Afikpo road connecting Ebonyi, Abia, and Imo states. Other projects include the Keffi Flyover Bridge, the Jebba Bridge in Kwara State, seven bridges in Edo State, and a bridge in Kebbi State.
The approval will be "music to the ears of the government and people of Niger State," according to Idris.
