Umahi Makes U-turn, Removes Demarcation On Niger Bridge

The Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has made a notable policy adjustment, ordering the dismantling of the newly introduced traffic demarcation on the First Niger Bridge following intense public outcry and safety concerns raised by motorists and commuters.

The initial decision to physically divide the bridge lanes during ongoing rehabilitation works had sparked widespread debates across social media and transport unions. Critics and safety experts expressed apprehensions regarding emergency access, the risks of total gridlock in the event of vehicular breakdowns, and narrow lane constraints.

Responding to the feedback, the ministry has moved to adjust the setup to ensure smoother traffic flow while rehabilitation continues. #urbanradio945
