Kaduna Residents Urge Urgent Bridge Repairs for Safety

Residents of Nuhu Yahaya Street in Angwan Sunday, Chikun local government area of Kaduna State, have appealed to the Kaduna State government and their elected representatives for urgent repairs to a dilapidating bridge that connects their community with neighboring areas. The chairman of the community committee, Sebastian Michael, emphasized that the bridge's condition is severely affecting movement for motorists, pedestrians, and schoolchildren.

He urged Governor Uba Sani and relevant authorities to intervene before the bridge collapses completely. Michael noted that despite community efforts to address the infrastructure issues, they lack the financial capacity for major repairs.

Traditional title holder Mr Iliya Aliko mentioned that local government authorities had been informed of the situation, but no concrete actions have been taken. Resident Mrs Martha James Bakam highlighted the difficulties faced by schoolchildren and the impact on access to markets and essential services.

The community is calling for immediate government action to repair the bridge, which is vital for daily movement.
