Again!! Bridge Linking Kwara With Oyo Collapses (Photo)

Pandemonium struck Kwara and Oyo state
when the major bridge that joins the two
places together collapsed on Tuesday,
October 1.
The Moro bridge on llorin-lgbeti
highway linked the two states and its
collapse has slowed down economic and
social activities of the residents.
The member representing Owode-Onire
constituency, where the collapsed bridge
is located, Abdullahi Taiwo informed the
Kwara State House of Assembly of the
collapsed bridge on Wednesday, October
2 just a day after the incident.
Taiwo, who spoke urgently, said the
collapsed bridge had made
transportation of farm produce to llorin,
the state capital, difficult.
He stressed the need for urgent
construction of the bridge, in view of its
importance for transportation of food
items and passengers from Oyo state and
neighbouring Republic of Benin.
Members, who contributed to the debate
including the leader, stressed the
significance of the collapsed bridge
which was reconstructed with corrugated
iron several years ago by the military
engineering corps.
Deputy speaker Mathew Okedare, who
presided over the plenary, while reading
the resolution of the assembly, directed
its committee on energy, works, and
transport to liaise with the Federal
Ministry of Works on the reconstruction
of the bridge.
The assembly called on the Kwara
governor to put palliative measures in
place before the reconstruction by the
Federal Government.
The Federal Controller of Works in
Kwara, Omotayo Awosanya, said the
federal government had advertised the
construction of both the Moro and Ohan
bridges.
Meanwhile in Lagos, the challenge of a
modern infrastructure has made the
construction of the 4th mainland bridge
a priority. This is because the current
infrastructures on ground are becoming
old and are not sufficient for the
booming population of the Southwest
state.
