“The MD said, ‘We were recently in Adamawa, Bauchi, Yobe, and Taraba. Today, we are here in Maiduguri, and tomorrow, we will be going to Gombe to assess the collapsed bridges to intervene.'”

 

He emphasised that the commission will work through the political structures of each state to ensure efficient distribution.

 

While these efforts are immediate, Alkali noted that the commission is also developing medium- and long-term strategies for the overall development of the region.

 

Regarding the collapsed Alau Dam, Alkali said the commission has awarded a contract for its renovation and desilting, but in light of the recent developments, they will review the contract and award a new one for the complete rehabilitation of the dam.
