The Federal Ministry of Works says the Oju-Ore Bridge in Ota, Ogun State, is safe and structurally sound, rejecting claims circulating on social media about possible structural failure. The ministry states the bridge has passed the required integrity tests.
In a response reported by multiple outlets, the Works Ministry says the bridge’s work aligns with approved engineering standards and that an inspection has been carried out to verify its condition. Both sources describe the ministry’s position as a direct dismissal of reports alleging defects, emphasizing that testing and compliance with specifications underpin its assessment.
While the outlets largely echo the same official message, they differ mainly in how they frame the issue: one highlights that the ministry dismisses social media claims, while the other focuses on the bridge’s safety and structural soundness as confirmed by the ministry.
The reports do not provide additional technical results or independent verification beyond the ministry’s statements.
