Torrential rainfall on Thursday washed away the bridge linking Bauchi metropolis with Ningi local government area in the state, according to Nanfan Joroh, an official of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency, FERMA.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria in Bauchi on Friday that the damaged bridge was located 88 kilometers away from Bauchi, saying; “we were at the bridge site to inspect and determine the level of the damage”.
The Bauchi – Ningi road links Bauchi with Kano and Jigawa states.

Mr Joroh said FERMA had since mobilized men and materials to the affected bridges for urgent remedial measures pending when permanent solutions would be effected.
