Transport unions in Kwara State have threatened mass action against the federal and state governments over the deteriorating condition of the Oko-Olowo and Ohan bridges, which they say have severely disrupted economic activities in parts of Kwara and neighbouring Oyo State.
The unions, comprising the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), issued the warning during a joint press conference held in Ilorin.
They described the bridges as critical infrastructure linking communities in Kwara North to other parts of the state and adjoining areas in Oyo State.
