The North-East Development Commission (NEDC) has officially handed over several key infrastructure projects to the Bauchi State Government, including three major bridges and an ultra-modern cattle market, during a ceremony attended by government officials and stakeholders. The Minister of State for Regional Development, Uba Maigari, presided over the event, emphasizing the importance of these projects for the local community and broader regional connectivity.

The three bridges, constructed along the critical Bauchi–Gombe Road, address long-standing transport challenges caused by erosion that has frequently disrupted the flow of traffic and economic activities in the area. The specific bridges include the Kalajanga, Bara, and Tashan Turmi bridges, designed with modern specifications to enhance durability and functionality. This infrastructure is integral to facilitating movement and trade in a region that has suffered from accessibility issues.

With these developments, the NEDC aims to not only improve transportation but also boost economic opportunities by connecting local agriculture to larger markets through the new cattle market. The efforts reflect a commitment to foster regional growth and infrastructure resilience, crucial for the socio-economic advancement of Bauchi State and its surrounding areas.
