The Federal Government has commenced reconstruction of the collapsed Keffi Flyover in Nasarawa State, where a tragic incident earlier in July claimed three lives.
Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, disclosed this yesterday, while briefing State House Correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu. He described the collapse as “very unfortunate” and confirmed that the government had reached a settlement with the bereaved families.
“We lost three lives there. We have settled with the families, who are not pressing charges. Reconstruction has started,” Umahi said, noting that one carriageway of the flyover has been closed to allow urgent repair works. He added that structural investigations prompted closure to prevent further incidents.
The Keffi flyover, a major link between the Federal Capital Territory and several North-Central states, collapsed on July 4, raising widespread concern over infrastructure safety. Umahi assured that the Tinubu administration is prioritising accountability and public safety and urged citizens to support ongoing inspection and monitoring efforts. He said the intervention aligns with the administration’s broader commitment to ensuring the integrity of road and bridge assets nationwide.
