OHAN bridge near Alapa, in Moro Local Government Area of Kwara State is about 1000metres in length or so.The bridge links Kwara with Oyo and is considered strategic to the prosperity of the two states.

Before now, driving through the bridge was like passing through the valley of death. That was my experience during the campaign tour of one of the gubernatorial aspirants early last year as I almost passed out in fear during the about ten minutes drive.

Planks were haphazardly arranged on the bridge to prevent vehicles from crashing into the deep gully below. And because of the precarious nature of the bridge, there is usually a long queue of vehicles on both sides which must of necessity take turns to pass.

In most cases the occupants are compelled to disembark to save themselves the trauma of having to endure the dangerous 'dance' of the vehicles as the drivers struggle to navigate through the then rickety bridge. The vehicles must necessarily pass here because other known alternatives are considered burdensome.

Inspite of its enormous importance not only to Kwara and Oyo states,but to the nation at large and despite various media reports on the ever-present danger at the bridge, the Federal Government or better put, the Federal Ministry of Works, has over the years shirked its duty to fix the bridge.
