North-East-Development-Commission-NEDCThe North East Development Commission (NEDC) has pledged to reconstruct the collapsed Wagga-Madagali Bridge in Adamawa State, which links the state with Borno.
The infrastructure was destroyed by a massive flood, which cut off traffic and trade between the two states. NEDC’s Managing Director, Mohammed Goni Alkali, during an assessment tour, promised that everything possible would be done to reconstruct the bridge and restore the means of livelihood of the people.
The visit followed a presidential directive to the commission to undertake an immediate assessment of the situation and proffer solution to ease the difficulties of commuters.
The MD lamented that the collapse had disconnected the two states, adding that the major responsibility of the commission was to provide services that have a direct bearing on the lives of the people of the region.
Alkali, who visited the facility along with other management staff and officials of Triacta Construction Company, directed the manager to immediately carry out a survey of the bridge to enable the commission act swiftly.
According to him, the Wagga-Madagali road and the bridge are very important to the people of the area, as it links not only Adamawa and Borno states, but also some other villages and farms.
