“We thank Almighty God that no live was lost but I am assuring you that I will take up this matter with the cooperation of the State government, and this bridge will be reconstructed very soon.
“Let’s be conscious of our environment and be peaceful while we enjoy the festive period, My heart is where my Community is”, said Princess Samiat Bada.
Present with her at the scene were the LCDA Legislative Leader and Councilor of Ward G, Rt. Hon. Yinusa Salami, Baale of Maidan-Patele-Orile community, Chief Soliu Olamilekan Onikoro, Ikosi-isheri Supervisor and S. A for Works & Infrastructure and other leaders.
