Barely a month after repair works began at the Toyota Bus Stop stretch of the Murtala Mohammed airport link bridge, the contractor, Plycom Nigeria has deserted the site.
The contractor had, late last month , put up appearance as if to commence repair work on the link bridge six months after it was closed to traffic due to a fire incident that damaged a part of the bridge.
The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola visited the site with the ministry’s South-West Zone Director, Highways, Mr. Adedamola Kuti. But it took another four months before Plycom Nigeria Limited was mobilised to the site.
Despite the unfolding drama, commuting in and around the airport road has remained herculean, as the only means of transportation from the bus stop to the international airport area is by Okada, which costs between N300 to N500 per passenger.“Plycom not being on site is deliberate but I can assure you that the work will resume soon.”
