Anyway, there was an unusual incident that made Mr Lai Mohammed to lament on the increasing rate of destruction in the country and this was because it was disclosed that it will cost the Federal Government 3.8 billion naira to repair just four bridges that were damaged by vandals and petrol-landed tankers. In response to this, Mr Mohammed lamented that it is a huge amount of money that could have been used to build new infrastructures.
