“These pictures show the deplorable state of Ikot Ekefre / Achan Ika bridge visited during my official inspection visit to the bridge. Ikot Ekefre and Achan Ika where the said bridge is located are neighboring communities in Essien Udim and Ika LGAs respectively. The substandard bridge which was locally constructed to ease movement links the above two communities and also marks the boundary between them. From the inspection, it is observed with shock that apart from pedestrians traffic, the bridge denies motorists from the two affected communities access to each other. The visit also discloses that the two affected communities for sometimes now find it difficult to properly transact their legitimate businesses as a result of the wretched bridge. Therefore, I employ my capacity and request the Hon. Commissioner of Rural Development for intervention.”
The man built a flyover from Uyo to his LGA, we complain. He left a sub-standard bridge (a 'walkover') from one village to another in his LGA, we complain. Habba! What can a man do or not do, so that men or women can be satisfied? We are already complaining that the present Governor is awarding multiple contracts that include road constructions. Maybe, if we let them do their jobs, they might just consider constructing a better bridge there to resolve the problem. Patience can be a very good virtue, alternatively, let's try speaking the truth with love.
