The Kano State House of Assembly has urged the state government to hasten the repair of the collapsed Kadawa bridge in Garun-Malam Local Government Area of the state to avert further disaster.

This followed the adoption of a motion of Urgent Public Importance by Zakariyya Abdullahi (NNPP-Kura-Garun-Malam), at plenary on Monday in Kano.

Presenting the motion, Mr Abdullahi said that the collapsed bridge required immediate reconstruction.

He also appealed to the state government to reconstruct the drainage on the road, so as to facilitate easy passage of water, especially during the rainy season.

“I want to inform the house that the bad condition of the bridge has led to the death of five people in the area.

“Most people in the areas now fear using the road; as such, it is imperative for the government to reconstruct the bridge and also the drainage,” he said.

The lawmakers adopted the motion and called on the state government to take necessary action on the bridge.
