FG Completes 2nd Niger Bridge — Fashola

Fashola has revealed that the Federal Government has completed the 2nd Niger Bridge.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on Wednesday, confirmed that the construction of the 2nd Niger bridge is now completed and will soon be released to the public for use.

According to the PUNCH, Fashola stated this at an ongoing press briefing to present President Muhammadu Buhari’s scorecard in Abuja.

According to him, the only factor delaying the commissioning of the road is the construction of the link road which the recent surge of flooding has impeded.

He said, “I can confirm that the second Niger bridge itself is finished. People can walk through the bridge now unimpeded. What remains is the four-kilometer link road on the Asaba side.

“Right now, our dredger is in place, we have to rebuild the road by reclaiming sand, the recent surge of flood has slowed us down.
