… Moro LGA Residents Anticipate Economic Boost as Vital Infrastructure Project Reaches Final Stage
The Kwara State Government has announced that construction work on the Buka-Adena bridge along the Jebba-Kaiama road is nearing completion, marking a significant milestone in Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s rural infrastructure development agenda.
The project, initiated in response to longstanding complaints from Moro Local Government Area residents about the bridge’s dilapidated state, is expected to be commissioned in the coming weeks. When operational, the new bridge will serve as a critical link between remote villages and major economic centers in the region.
“This infrastructure represents our administration’s commitment to improving rural livelihoods and stimulating economic growth,” Governor AbdulRazaq stated. “By fixing this vital connection, we’re enabling farmers to transport their produce more efficiently and giving residents better access to essential services.”
The completion of the Buka-Adena bridge is projected to:
- Revolutionize agricultural commerce in the region
- Reduce transportation challenges for rural communities
- Enhance access to healthcare and educational facilities
- Boost overall economic activities in Moro LGA
The Buka-Adena bridge forms part of the state government’s comprehensive road rehabilitation program, which has seen numerous critical rural roads reconstructed across Kwara State since 2023.
According to Chief Olayinka Fafoluyi, Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the Governor, the project’s timely completion demonstrates the administration’s responsiveness to community needs and its focus on even development across all parts of the state.
Final touches are currently being applied to the bridge, with official commissioning expected before the peak of the rainy season in June. The project has already begun attracting new economic activities to the area, with several agro-businesses expressing interest in establishing operations in the region.
