Bauchi State Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed has visited the site of the collapsed Bauchi-Kano highway.
The governor, who disclosed this on Saturday on his social media handles, said he ordered for the immediate reconstruction of the collapsed bridge within one week.
“Today, I paid an assessment visit to the collapsed Bauchi-Ningi-Kano Highway bridge. I sympathised with the community over the loss of lives as a result of the incident.
“Though it is a federal road and the responsibility of the federal government to fix it, I have directed for immediate reconstruction of the bridge within one week, and the state government will work with the contractors to ensure this,” he said.
