The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) in Kwara State have appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to facilitate the completion of the abandoned Oko-Olowo-Moro and Ohan bridge projects, warning that the prolonged delay has continued to stifle economic activities and worsen hardship across Kwara North.
The appeal was made during a joint press conference addressed by leaders of both transport unions, where they described the abandoned projects as a major impediment to transportation, commerce, healthcare delivery, security operations and judicial processes in the region.
The statement read was jointly signed by Abdulrahman Olayinka Onikijipa of RTEAN and Abdulrasak Adeoye Ariwo-Ola of NURTW on behalf of transport unions in Kwara State.
According to the unions, the Oko-Olowo-Moro Bridge project, which commenced in 2017 during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, was designed as a strategic link connecting Kwara North
