“….Antiquity office under colonial government, via Gazette 25 Vol 43 of April 6, 1955 listed the building among Nigeria’s national monuments. From the colonial period till the emergence of National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), post-independence, Ilojo Bar has been under the maintenance of Federal government. However, restoration of the building’s falling structures appeared to have been a challenge, as a result of what the NCMM said was paucity of fund.”

Did Gowon not order the destruction of Carter Bridge?

From the top to the bottom echelon of our society, Ignorance, corruption and greed for money has blinded this Nations cultural sense of awareness and importance of history and historical artefacts, in developing the ethos of our nation. May be it is the other way round! This man or the developers should be punished heavily. Part of that should be that they are sent to Prison for 25 years!

It is so, so sad
