Jebba-Mokwa-Tegina Road Not Cut Off – FG

The attention of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing has been drawn to an online story over the weekend, stating that a bridge along Jebba -Mokwa road had collapsed resulting in total closure of the road

“This is totally false as the recently constructed Talabu bridge along the road  that was claimed to have collapsed is intact contrary to the online report”

Faulting the story, the motorists flying the Jebba-Mokwa road who were interviewed confirmed that the road has not been cut off anywhere, as their movement has not been affected in any way as claimed in the story

In view of this, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, Babangida Hussaini, hereby assures motorists that the road is safe and passable, urging them to disregard the story and not to panic

Mr Babangida further reassured the public that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is working tirelessly to provide good roads for Nigerians, as such called on the citizens to give the government necessary support and encouragement

He explained that the Ministry has Controllers of Works in every state that will quickly inform the Ministry  of any emergency of such nature  on our roads for immediate intervention.

Mr Babangida therefore appealed to Nigerians to verify stories received on social media before sharing such .
