Breaking: N3.7billion Geri Alimi Underpass Constructed Under ex-Gov Ahmed's Administration Fails Test Of Time


By: AbdulAzeez Jamiu Olayinka


The Geri Alimi Diamond Underpass in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, constructed under immediate past Governor Abdulfatai Ahmed has become an eyesore.


The project was funded with multi-million naira tax payers money.


It was poorly executed as some major cracks were spotted on the underpass in 2019 just months after its inauguration.


Deputy Governor Kayode Alabi who visited the underpass had lamented the shoddy work done by the contractor, with the government forcing him back to site.


Three years after, the poorly constructed underpass has become an eyesore as damages could be spotted on it.


The past government has been criticized over this development by residents and passersby.


According to them, it's unbelievable that with the multi-million naira said to be sunk into the project, it couldn't stand the test of time and integrity.

    1. This is the real definition of Corruption in our country.
      How can a government execute of Multi billion naira project and it falls within three years? The immediate Governor should have all the Contractors of the project and commissioner in charge arrested and properly investigated.
      How can a government inaugurate a project that threatens the lives of the citizens? What if some people’s lives were lost due to the fall of the bridge? Would words of apology by the govt be enough as a replacement for their lives?

THE PLACE OF A MOTHER

By: Olufadi Balarabe Ayuba. Let her know the day she was born nakedly beautiful with tears of joy rolling down her stunningly soft cheeks.  Let her know the day she had enough words to say but could only speak through the inexhaustible care of her beloved mother.  Let her know those days she could not by herself take some walks down the road, but could comfortably tour the entire city tied on her mother's back. Let her know those days when she had to cry all night before she could answer nature's call, except lullabies were sung to ease her trips.  Let her know the days she couldn't bathe herself, compelling her mother to wake up early, warm the water, and ignore her refusal to take a bath every morning!  Let her know the day she couldn't do makeovers to beautify herself, as her mother took center stage to apply "Dusting Powder" to introduce the beauty of her Darling Princess to the world.  Let her know the days when all others had forsaken, except...
