A Chinese firm recently engaged by the Kwara state government to correct the structural errors on the controversial Tanke Flyover has advised the government under Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to bring down the entire structure and start the construction afresh.

The advice, according to an internal memo addressed to the supervising Commissioner for Works is to avoid future calamity which may be devastating when the road is opened for public use without due diligence.

The Chinese firm said it based its conclusion on the preliminary report of the Engineers who recommended a total overhaul of the structure.

The firm said the low quality of materials used in the construction and the gross inexperience of local engineers engaged to handle the project make correction almost impossible.

Dem go call am accident when e happen.

To be forewarned na to set for action 🎬

For 3 months that I was in ilorin, I was hearing tanke Bridge and I thought it was a completed project. Sooo, na so the thing be😳

Wawu, local content no go allow us get better and long lasting projects in Nigeria. If there is no indigenous contractor that can pull international standards feat, give it out while the learning process continues on the low.

Chinese is tell you local engineer don't have experience.

What experience does China have before they established construction companies?

China products were tagged Chinko because of low quality but overtime with continuous practice, they became masters in production.

Nigerian engineers need to be encouraged to gain experience.

It's been completed atleast 98% if road marking will be done.
But has not been open for the past 6 weeks since its completion.
I wonder maybe it's because of this report, if so it'll be a waste of billions down the drain.
Yes the bridge looks shabby, even the one at post office still look better than the supposed new flyover

My tanke. o Nostalgia

The bridge is very subpar. It was just an avenue to feed some people fat. A very useless and wasteful endeavour. Bridge that hasn't been opened to the public but already has cracks and crevices and is already leaking? Is that a bridge or a death trap?

I heard the bridge has been completed now

The bridge have been completed now

That one at post office is a solid work even though Bukola scammed us that time. What they said then was that it would stretch from unity.

For this new one, if they know its not safe, they should not open it ooo. Safety comes first.
