Flood caused by a heavy downpour has washed away part of the major road between Bauchi and Gombe State in Kirfi local government area.
Inspecting the level of damage, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State expressed worry that the situation would affect commercial activities in northeastern subregion.
Bala Mohammed therefore called on the federal government to look into the problem by providing immediate solution for commuters passing through Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa and Taraba State.
The Governor who charged the company handling the rehabilitation project to expedite action in ensuring timely completion urged the federal government to reconstruct the entire Bauchi-Gombe road noting that the busiest corridor has been neglected by previous administration.
On his part the representative of the contracting firm Haidar Ibrahim assured that the work would be done in three days time.
