Residents of remote Borno lament deplorable state of roads

Yusuf .M. Gulumbo from Ngala Local
Government Area of Borno State, posted the
appeal on his Facebook, today, September 18th:
"We are appealing to Federal
Government to look at the long suffering
of our people and assist us. It's very
pathetic that our people are now
spending 4 to 5 days just from Dikwa to
Gamboru Ngala due to the poor access
road. From Gamboru Ngala to Dikwa is
even worst because of the damaged
made by Boko Haram, motorists can not
longer operate the Nbulu river bridge and
this is the key aspect that connects to
the highway.
On 15, September 2016, we had to spent
16 hours on the bridge due to it worst
damaged, before we could get to Dikwa
it was around 9pm. Dikwa and Gamboru
Ngala is just a few kilometers road,
which Federal Government can even
handle within a short period to save lives
of her vulnerable citizens, who are dying
from unnecessary ambush in the area of:
Musine, Lomani and Gajibo village. The
effect of Gamboru Ngala high way will
not only support and enhance the people
living but, the economy of Borno state
and Nigeria at large. We are appealing to
Federal Government to come to our aid
and save dying soul as a matter of
urgency before things gets out of hand."
