Senators Haruna Manu and David Jimkuta on Tuesday paid a working visit to the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to find ways and means to restore the collapsed Namnai Bridge in Taraba State.
Recall that the bridge collapsed in August 2024 and till date nothing meaningful has been done to fix the federal facility.
Disturbed by this development, both Taraba Senators accompanied by a colleague, Senator Babangida Oseni from Jigawa State, decided to discuss the issues surrounding the long delay to fix the bridge.
