Meet Amputee, Yusuf Who Voluntarily Sweeps Pedestrian Bridge Daily by arinze198(m): 10:16am On Feb 11, 2020
Yusuf Suleiman Peter is the name of the 29 year old amputee, who sweeps the pedestrian bridge of the popular UNIZIK Junction, Awka, Anambra State, every day. He is so good at the chore he does as a volunteer that the terrain is always well taken care of. He was recently cornered by our contributor, Izunna Okafor, who not only deemed it necessary to announce the hero, but also found out that the one-legged man is passionate about keeping the bridge clean to encourage people to use the foot bridge to avoid the tragedy of road accidents, the type that led to his loss of leg. The reporter finds that Yusuf is also keen on fending for himself if he gets help, to go back to school, farm or start a business.

Not less than 2,000 legs pass through the gigantic pedestrian bridge of the popular UNIZIK Junction, otherwise known as the UNIZIK Temp. Site, Awka, the Anambra State capital each day, being the only pedestrian bridge through which Enugu-Onitsha Expressway can be successfully crossed in the entire Awka environ, and in fact, the only pedestrian bridge in the metropolitan city as a whole.

These legs, both fat and tiny, belonging to both humans and spirits, notwithstanding, have always been assured of one particular thing every blessed day for the past one year – they will never be stained by dirt or mud while crossing the pedestrian bridge – irrespective of when and how.
