AutoReportNG:
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.

To see more of this road, please, check on the source

THEY SHOULD GO TO THE SARAKI DYNASTY WHICH INCLUDE THE LATE SENATOR OLUSHOLA SARAKI, HIS SON EX-SENATE PRESIDENT, SENATOR BUKOLA SARAKI, CURRENT MINISTER, GBEMISOLA SARAKI.

They should demand for their share of the dividend of democracy from the Saraki family.

The Saraki abused political powers and looted the collective commonwealth of the good people of Kwara state.

Imagine this rickety bridge that is even risky to walk and crawl in this 21st century.

KWARANS HAVE SUFFERED UNTOLD HARDSHIP UNDER THE SARAKI's

Freemanbobble:
Okay

Baba watsup na

NwaAmaikpe:



This is exactly how Lagos was before we developed it.

Which Lagos please?

I need to know where you came from first and see how developed it is.

I can't belief these is Nigeria!!!

From all indications, people assessing these mooro bridge are just kajooring with their lives as i can even see a vehicles wanting to use the damn bridge.

Is it the change Nigerians aspire for!!!!

1shortblackboy:
People that have governor and representatives from local to state and federal levels. just see

That is the tragedy of Nigeria. Where democracy is abused because it is completely misunderstood.

They successfully voted out a non-performing governor and by their actions are not making a demand on the alternative voted in thus guaranteeing his ultimate failure in governance.

You will discover that at this point in time government house will have been renovted with several millions and those responsible for this bridge paid salaries and wages for the period of this new administration.

What is the point of costly elections if goverments never seem to change.

It looks like the last level of a video game, or the stuff of nightmares.

Reminds me of the bridge at Apostle busstop in Enugu

There was no barrier on the side, you'll just be walking next to the open river

Rather than walk I'd just use the bus to pass over it

Though they have now installed some barriers but I can't believe people would just be walking on it like that

Imagine.

Describing this situation as 'disgraceful' is understating things. This is beyond appalling. It's a nightmare

We can't continue like this God

Chaii naija which way?

what sort of engineers are these? imagine that one on bathroom slippers. na wa oo

Unbelievable...

Useless lazy youths..they will not protest the deplorable state of this roads but they can protest for Tacha and set GoFundMe account for that smelling ass OLOSHO.
The future is dead

AgentNairaland:
ENJOY YOUR NEXT LEVEL, YOU ASKED FOR IT AND YOU'VE GOTTEN IT

u, does that look like next level project or an abandoned project GEJ era

Chummynoni:

Lol, you want him to wear his church shoes to the site?

But was there no other alternative...Was there no little boat that can take them across.. People just love dangerous games... if one dies in the process of crossing that bridge, the government will only speak English..why are they playing this rough game with their lives

AgentNairaland:
ENJOY YOUR NEXT LEVEL, YOU ASKED FOR IT AND YOU'VE GOTTEN IT

Imagined how u commented on a calamity like this. A sensible post should ask question and proffer solutions;Like who was the contractor handling the project, was he mobilized and at what cost(mostly certain %age of the project sum), if he's fully mobilise, then what went wrong while on the project? Is it that government failed to remit more funds to continue with work or they do but the contractor abundant the project and run away? Now then you rule out contract scam by government or contractor.
That bridge is to old for rehabilitation. They need a good concrete in casts bridge not this eyesore.
Man,as at 2016 that state was already in the PDP but they were APC by name. As at 2018-2019, they were fully in PDP.
Good leadership doesn't know party, tribe, region or race. I assure you that if the bridge is reconstructed, both people that voted APC/PDP will enjoy it.

But our leaders are wicked sha.
