Ortom to commission legacy bridge built by Rep. Agbo in Ado tomorrow
…Bridge built by Dr. Francis Ottah Agbo to link communities, ease transportation
The awaited bridge to link Ekile community in Ijigban District to Utonkon, both in Ado LGA and other communties in Oju Local Government Area of Benue State is ready for commissioning.
The performing PDP Chairman of Benue State, Sir John Ngbede will on behalf of the Governor commission the bridge tomorrow, Saturday, February 20, 2021.
The Legacy Bridge was built by the Honourable Member representing Ado/Ogbadibo/Okpokwu Federal Constituency, Dr. Francis Ottah Agbo in fulfilment of his campaign promise to the people.
Dr. Ottah Agbo, popularly known as the Ozigizaga and Moving Train of Enone Politics, undertook to construct the bridge to bring to an end the anguish suffered by the communities and completed it in less than 15 months of foundation laying!
The bridge is at Rijo, across Rijo stream, (Ogege Ward) in Utonkon District bordering Ekile.
It is code named the ‘Legacy Bridge,’ because it is the first standard bridge initiated and constructed by an individual in Ado, not backed by Government budget.
The commissioning of the Legacy Bridge will make Ekile accessible to motorists and farmers who can now transport their farm produce to the popular Idokpo Market, Otukpo and other towns.
