In Kano State, residents of Romi village in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area have implored politicians to reconstruct a collapsed bridge and repair a 6.7-kilometre road connecting the community to the local government headquarters. The bridge, initially built through a self-help initiative and completed by the local government council in 1995, has remained unreconstructed for nearly three decades.
The road, which serves strategic links for residents of nearly 20 communities, including Kwa, Dungurawa, Bumburawa, Babbar Ruga, and Cedi Babbar Ruga, among others, is now facing serious difficulties due to its poor condition.
Commuters, including Magaji Hussain, have become increasingly frustrated, stating that the prolonged neglect has become unacceptable. Hussain warned that he would not vote in the upcoming elections unless the bridge is rebuilt, emphasizing that the road is their "vote." Junaidi Danladi, another resident, highlighted the dangers posed by the poor road conditions, including motorcycle robberies that have led to fatalities.
Despite these challenges, Ahmad Isa, the APC Secretary of Romi Ward, expressed optimism that the infrastructure issues affecting the community would eventually be addressed.
