Reps adopt motion to rehabilitate collapsed Delta bridge ~ Truth Reporters
The motion moved by the member representing Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency, Hon. Nnamdi Ezechi said the bridge had become an urgent public concern following loss of two lives in the unfortunate incident.
He said the reconstruction of the 300 meter link bridge had become necessary following the loss of access to vital services by the afffected communities.
Ezechi said the call for action was driven by the urgent need to provide relief and facilitate the rehabilitation for the affected communities.
The House observed a minute silence in honour of the deceased and subsequently referred the matter to the House Committees on Niger Delta Development Commission, Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) and Emergency and disaster Management.
Furthermore, during the same plenary session, Hon. Ezechi also presented a petition concerning a grave injustice faced by one of his constituents, Inspector Fidelis Uti from Ulogwe-Isumpe, Utagba-Uno, in Ndokwa West local government area of Delta State.
The petition highlighted false accusations, unlawful dismissal, and the unjust withholding of Inspector Fidelis Uti's salary for an extended period, spanning from 2013 to 2018. This distressing matter underscores the need for a comprehensive review and redress.
The House acknowledged the gravity of this issue, and the petition was duly accepted and referred to the House Committee on Public Petitions for a thorough examination and resolution.
