Beautiful felt like I was transported back into time ...and the beauty was the history of the bridge was written by the side so you didnt have to ask anyone about it

The footbridge is located in Kaduna state Nigeria. It was built during colonial rules. Before the bridge was constructed there was no way if linking both halves except by canoes.

The bridge was built by sir Frederic lugard in 1904 at zungeru, the capital of the northern protectorate of Nigeria after the Amalgamation of the Northern and southern protectorate.

It was reconstructed in 1920 after it was moved to Gamji gate Kaduna. On 16 of February 1956 it was declared a historic monument.

Centennial Place in the history of my Dear Northern state! We won't be cheerful by history of the coming of Britons as the Africans by the way the colonial powers wrest away our identical cultures and subjugate us to theirs but... History is history and most be accounted by the way it comes

Gate fee is N200 as at April 2019. The major challenge was locating this place. Most people do not know about it and if they did, they do not know the name. I almost gave up.
The bridge is located at Gamji Gate. Tell any tricycle or motorcycle that and they will drop you there.
The bridge is in the park. Also in the park is a mini zoo. You will pay additional N100 (April 2019) to enter the zoo. But the crocodiles are kept in somewhere in the park where you can see them for free.
There was no tour guide. There are relaxation spots there for food and drinks. Suya is sold before the entrance at the road junction. Nunu, zobo and kunnu are sold there too.
Construction works ongoing to turn a part of the park to Water Park. (April 2019).
Little awareness on the potential of this tourist attraction is done.
The bridge should be relocated or the surrounding be well kept and renovated.

This is located inside Gamji park
Which is poorly maintained I've you get it you can literally do as you please.
There's a couple of crocodiles in the pond cost to the ostrich cage.
The grass could do with a lot of trimming and the water banks could be developed.
The bride in itself is dilapidated you need be careful when crossing.
