University Don, Professor John Ajai of the Taraba State University Jalingo, on Wednesday wrote an open letter to the Federal Government, reminding them of the collapsed Namnai Bridge on the Jalingo to Wukari road.

Ajai noted that the bridge, which connects Benue, Adamawa and other northern States, has been in a state of disrepair for over a year, causing significant economic and social impacts on the region.

In his letter, Professor Ajai shared his personal experience of crossing the collapsed section of the bridge using a ferry.

He described the experience as frightening and dangerous, with the ferry operator’s miscalculation causing the boat’s propeller to get stuck in the sand.

Professor Ajai called on the Federal Government to treat the reconstruction of the Namnai Bridge as an emergency.
