Taraba bridge submerged after rainfall, vehicles stranded

The Namnai Bridge in Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba State has been submerged after the second rainfall of the year, leaving several vehicles stranded and completely cutting off movement. Residents express frustration over the authorities' inaction, as the bridge has not been repaired since it was washed away in 2024, despite promises from Minister of State for Regional Affairs, Alhaji Uba Maigeri. The situation has severely impacted local economic activities, and residents are calling for a permanent solution.
