When you thought you have seen the weirdest of all roads, you kept seeing more and more till you are dumbfounded and being to ask questions.

This is Moro bridge in Kwara State, you'll cross it on your way from Ilorin, Igbeti/Kishi. The bridge has come into the spotlight due to the untold hardships people go through on this bridge daily, not only that, its a dangerous place for road users who can only use this road to link to their various destination.

The contractor handling the project has left the site and dump the materials carelessly on the road, for people to pass through this road, they have to line up and crawl like little children else they risk being injured by the irons the contractors abandoned on the road or they fall into the ditch they dug.

According to the images and videos seen online, the situation of things on this road is sorrowful and something urgent needs to be done.

How did Moro Bridge degenerate into this death trap?

According to an investigation made by AutoReportNG, the bridge was collapsed around 2015 and after lots of outcries, the former state governor, Mr Ahmed Fatai decided to repair the road. According to the press release by the Kwara State Government of 8th Nov. 2016, it reads...

Kwara Begins Repair of Collapsed Moro Bridge

Following the release of funds by Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, the repair of the collapsed Moro Bridge on Ilorin-lgbeti highway has begun.

The State Commissioner for Works and Transport, Alhaji Aro Yayaha who made this known in Ilorin, noted that the steel and other materials purchased for the repair have been received.

He also disclosed that the State government had earlier in March this year intervened on the Ohan-bailey Bridge, also in Moro Local Government of the State.

The commissioner explained that although the two bridges are Federal Government facilities, the State Government decided to carry out intervention work on them in order to ease the hardship faced by road users and motorists.

While commending the Federal Government for its interventions on various roads within the State, Alhaji Yayaha urged the central government to reconstruct the two bridges as the lasting solution to preventing their future collapse.

He added that the reconstruction of the bridges will further boost the agricultural activities in the area and the state in general, particularly in easing the transportation of farm produce to commercial destinations.

The questions on our lips are, who is the contractor handling this project? Why did they stop? Did the government pay for this project? Who are those at helms of affairs? Is there follow-up? Why has there not been any tangible thing done after 3 years after this project has been awarded?

We bring to you pictures of when it really collapsed in 2016, pictures when its undergoing repairs and pictures when the contractors abandoned the project.

During Reconstruction As At 2018

While we await feedbacks from the ministry of works and Kwara State Government, AutoReportNG felt this is a national disater that needs urgent action, if not for anything, at least for our poor mothers and fathers who have to climb on those iron slabs, what if the fall, or what if they get pierced by those rods left carelessly on the bridge.

One of the Saraki - Abdulfatai legacies in Kwara.

Sai baba sai APC. You ain't seen nothing yet. See as mama possibly with rheumatoid arthritis and Parkinson's is crawling. Ordinary breeze is enough to blow her off. Senators are busy clamoring for SUV

Haba

Okay

Nigeria at 59., we are celebrating our national failure, and the morons are there eating national cake.

This is pathetic coming from a country with one of the largest economies in the world

Bukola Saraki will not make heaven

This is both sad and funny
The way those mothers crawl like lizards.

When some of us are shouting on govt for accountability, they'll say we're wailers. One idiot was even harassing the guy in the other video not to record the scene, like it'll embarrassing the govt. What a clown.
Saraki sef no try for that state at all with all the senate influence and this APC terrorists govt are worst.

OMG!!!! Let me av ur acct num so dat i can make transfer to u to get ursef SENSE at nearby shop.
I have known this bridge for so long, my question is why has Fed Govt always ignore it?

I hope and pray it gets to the right officials

there was a time when leaders put the interest of the nation first. some military boys, few of them idealists and the rest tribalists went and killed those crop of leaders. now we have leaders that only care about self. where do we start fixing the country from?

Nigeria government and poor handling of projects.

Which kind construction company use such tools to build a bridge ?

All i can see in the picture are just normal welders hired from their various workshop and they are dressed up in construction uniforms.

The project is not been handled by a serious construction company.

From their construction tools, you will know that it's just one quack construction company that gets the contract via padi padi things

Shame of FERMA, shame on kwara state government.

izzou:


I wonder how they pass there at night.

They wait for the sun to shine at Night before passing there

Dis is too serious

Lolzzzs. In this same Nigeria?

Don't be surprise they will still pay fee to climb. This one na Toll bridge oh

Chai walai Nigeria is a joke

Chei suffer dey Nigeria full time.

People that have governor and representatives from local to state and federal levels. just see
