Residents of Giwa Local Government Area have said the reconstruction of the Store Bridge along the Marabar Yakawada–Kaya Road by Governor Uba Sani has ended more than two decades of hardship, restoring access to markets, healthcare facilities and farmlands while reviving economic activities across several communities.
The residents, who spoke to journalists during a media tour of government projects, described the bridge as a critical lifeline that has reconnected communities previously cut off during the rainy season and improved the movement of people and goods.
They noted that the collapsed bridge had for years disrupted farming, commerce, transportation and access to essential services, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall.
Malam Shehu Muharazu, a commercial driver from Kaya village, said motorists and commuters faced enormous difficulties before the bridge was reconstructed.
According to him, the route serves as a strategic link between the northern and southern parts of Giwa Local Government
