Kaduna State Government has pledged to rebuild the Saminaka-Marjere road cut off by flood.
This comes after the Flood Impact Assessment Committee visited some communities in Lere local government Area to inspect the level of damage done by the flood.
The bridge connects Marjere and five other agrarian communities to the local government headquarters which serves as a major route for the transportation of farm produce.
During the assessment visit, the Flood Impact Assessment Committee led by the Chief of Staff to the Kaduna State Governor, Sani Liman Kila assured of the state government's commitment towards the development of the rural economy.
The Chief of Staff explained that, aside from the reconstruction of the portion of the road and the collapsed bridge, people of the affected communities would be given relief materials to cushion their losses.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Lere Local Government, Mathew Bulus Gambo commended Governor Uba Sani for setting up a high-powered committee chaired by the Chief of Staff, describing it as a move in the right direction.
