Reps Order Rehabilitation Of Niger Bridge by smile4kenn(m): 10:52am On Jul 10, 2008 |
The House of Representatives on Wednesday asked the Federal Government to begin the rehabilitation of River-Niger bridge in Onitsha, Anambra State, to avoid an imminent national disaster. It said the bridge, which was built in 1962, had remained without maintenance despite media reports warning of its imminent collapse. According to the House, the heavy vehicular traffic on the bridge and the cracks on it were ominous signs that should not be ignored. Its resolution followed a motion by Mr. Chidoka Obinna, representing Njidoka federal constituency of Anambra State and 68 others. Obinna had drawn the House’s attention to last week’s comment by Dr. Baba Ahmed, a former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Works, currently in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, that the bridge might collapse soon, due to neglect. The House said, “We urge the Federal Government to begin immediate rehabilitation and strengthening of the bridge.” It also advised the government to “direct the Ministry of Transport (Works section) to conduct regular inspection and maintenance work on all our bridges across the country at period intervals.” http://www.punchontheweb.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art200807101101446 |
