Chairman, Transition Implementation Committee, Patigi Local Government of Kwara State, Mohammed Ibrahim Liman, has sent a passionate appeal to the Federal
Government to come to the rescue of his people, who lost 107 people in a recent boat accident, by ensuring the construction of the abandoned Niger bridge linking Kwara and Niger states in the area.
Communities affected by the boat mishap included Kpada, Ebu and Dzakan, all in Patigi local government, while the others came from Kogi state, though 144 people survived the accident. He emphasized the urgent need to construct the Niger Bridge, on which a huge amount of funds had been sunk but no action taken over the years despite the movement of equipment to the site last year.
