Speaking further, he said: “During the process of the working visit to ascertain the condition of the bridge, some of the farmers who saw the former council chairman and the Special Adviser to Governor Okowa, doubted if they will really do something about the bridge that was disturbing them during rainy season.

“But to their suprise, events took a dramatic change where the bridge was eventually rehabilitated to cushion the effect of transportation by the farmers who normally plied the road to their various farms.”
