Some years back if you want to move from Olaiya, it was somehow difficult but right now, it’s more accessible and it’s motorable.
“We are heading to dry season and there’s time for them to complete this project, I will not advise them to rush it, just like they rushed Olaiya bridge project, Olaiya bridge was rushed and that’s the reason we’re having issues with it now. So the contractors shouldn’t rush at all. He advised.
