A Nollywood actress, Kehinde Bankole has called on the Federal Government to fix the railing on the Third Mainland Bridge as it is “a disaster waiting to happen.”

Bankole made the call via her Instagram page on Friday.

She asked that the railing should be elongated to prevent people from tripping off the bridge into the lagoon.

Bankole wrote “Am I the only one who finds the Third Mainland Bridge’s railings very short? Am I the only one who is weird? Maybe it is not short and I am the only one who is thinking that the railing is short?

“Each time I am being driven or I drive myself across the Third Mainland Bridge I always wonder that it feels that the railing on the bridge is quite short. It looks as if the railing is so short that if someone should lean on it especially while fixing a car you could trip and fall into the water by mistake.

“I am calling on the Ministry of works to do something about it. Something should be done about the railing because we use the Third Mainland Bridge a lot. I know that repairs were made on the bridge some time ago.

“Can the railing be made higher? That railing looks like a hazard, it looks like a disaster waiting to happen. I feel we should not sit down like ducks waiting for the disaster to happen before we speak up. That Third Mainland Bridge’s railing is short.”
