Dilapidating NLNG bridge now a death trap, as Monarch calls on authorities for assistance

What can best be described as a death trap other than when an ever busy bridge in the heart of Rivers State is broken? This is the cry of the Amayanabo of Kalaogoloma Kingdom, HRH. King Goddy Idaminabo Idikisime Olunwa, (JP). Kalaogoloma Kingdom an economic hub of Rivers State, houses the Headquarters of NLNG, INTELS, NDDC and other National and State agencies including Multinational oil facilities. The bridge is the central link of all the said facilities to other parts of the State which is now a dead trap to motorists and commuters. The King is calling on the State Government, Multinationals and other companies and agencies to expedite action in reconstructing the bridge.

The NLNG bridge was constructed decades ago when the number of influx of commercial activities of International, National and State were not envisaged. Today the capacity of the bridge cannot contain the heavy economic activities going on around the area. It is therefore imperative for all concerned to come to the aid of the Kingdom to save the situation. King Olunwa is pleading with the Governor of Rivers State HE. E. N. Wike, NLNG, NDDC and other companies operating in the area for actions to avert an impending danger on the bridge, stressing that human lives are in danger and economic activities will suffer great setback.
