Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the immediate release of N16.7 billion for the reconstruction of the Mokwa Bridge in Niger State, which was destroyed by a flood in May.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced this on Saturday after a meeting with the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi.
Idris, who is on a project tour in the South-East, said the approval highlights the administration’s commitment to addressing urgent infrastructure needs.
According to a statement by the Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Rabiu Ibrahim, Idris was quoted as saying:
“We want to thank Mr. President and we want to thank the Honourable Minister of Works. We jointly discussed this and approached Mr. President, who graciously approved it. It means a lot to the people. It’s N16.7 billion to reconstruct the bridge — a 10-span bridge.”
According to Idris, the approval for the bridge reconstruction will be “music to the ears of the government and people of Niger State.”
“The President approved the immediate reconstruction of the bridge as requested by the Honourable Minister. He graciously approved because of him,” Idris added.
