The Kwara State chapters of the National Union of Road Transport Workers and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria have appealed to President Bola Tinubu and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to urgently intervene in the reconstruction of the collapsed Moro and Ohan bridges, warning that the situation is crippling transport and economic activities in Kwara North.
The unions made the appeal in Ilorin on Thursday during a joint press conference addressed by the Kwara State Chairman of RTEAN, Alhaji Abdulrahman Onikijipa, and his NURTW counterpart, Alhaji Abdulrasak Ariwo-Ola.
