The federal government has assured citizens that the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos is safe following social media claims that the structure is shaking.
Refuting the reports spreading on WhatsApp and Facebook on Thursday, the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Olukorede Kesha called them baseless.
Kesha noted that reports are driven by ulterior motives, are false, and should be disregarded.
“The honourable minister has directed that I come out and tell Lagosians and Nigerians that there is nothing wrong with the bridge.
“The rumour is the handiwork of mischief columnists – those who are idle and those who think that the political atmosphere is too quiet for them.

“That is why we have come here. I took time with you people (journalists) to go through the entire length of the 11km bridge.
“We drove round this, we came back and we saw that there is nothing amiss,” Kesha said.
The controller emphasised that the bridge was safe and its integrity intact.
“We are using this opportunity to tell the motoring public, Lagosians and all Nigerians that the bridge is safe, the integrity is not in doubt.
“After all, it is the same bridge that we ply, Lagosians ply and the ministry’s officials ply,” she stated.
