The Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, has come under fire over his administration’s failure to repair the repeatedly collapsing Minna-Bida road bridge. The bridge which is located at Sabongida village is collapsing for the third time on the 86 kilometres busy highway. Recall that the bridge had fallen in the first week of September of this year, but was fixed by the Niger State Road Maintenance Agency (NIGROMA), and then fell apart again five days later.
