Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who inspected the affected area, said he has reported the situation to the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, who had visited last week when the road was initially threatened.
Mohammed also reaffirmed the importance of effective management of water flow, which poses a risk of submerging communities.
A federal highway connecting Kano to Maiduguri, particularly between the Malori and Guskuri villages in Bauchi State’s Katagum Local Government Area, was severely damaged by downpour just two weeks after the incident.
In the middle of the road, a large crater was created as a result of the flood’s force to find alternative routes.
