Abbott: Why do I feel that the relentless criticism and constant comparison between GEJ and BRF actually spurred the FG to start the SNB? It is a curious thought.

FG haven't started nothing.

Eko Ile: Why is this not a direct contract award with money on the table for JB to build the bridge from start to finish and get it over with? Why is this based on a common letter of intent and tolling on behalf of JB to recoup construction cost?

Basically, JB is building this bridge and not the FG.

What's wrong with their local and National leaders back east? They don't have enough power or influence to make the FG put money on the table and straight award the contract with firm completion date minus tolling and if they must toll, at least redirect the collected tolls to the region for maintenance and other construction activities?

All that aside gan sef, the real joke is the looming capital flight and fleecing of the potential end users of the bridge via decades of tolling with zero returns to the region.

With so much noise regarding this bridge and after years of begging, there's still no serious intentions on the part of the FG and the SE leaders to get this taken care of pain free and on time..

GEJ is Janging SE all over again...

VERY PROBABLE! I hope the ibos can thank all Nigerians on NLand who made this possible! Of course, hope it is not another gimmick from the PDP government!

You are going to be tolled because JB is funding the bridge and not the FG hence JB tolling you for decades to recoup their money..
It is now obvious that telling LIES is in your DNA. You cannot help but tell satanic LIES.

POINT OF CORRECTION: the FG is paying N30billion as its counterpart funding for the Second Niger Bridge. This fact was widely reported. Read:

"Onolememen said that the N30 billion is already there for the construction of the second Niger Bridge, which he said is “undergoing geo-technical survey.”
The amount, he said was the Federal Government’s counterpart funding of the multi-billion naira project, adding that “the ministry has concluded the process for the award of the Public Private Partnership,PPP, and a successful concessioner has emerged, JB-AIIM Consortium.”

Nigerians too like free things..most major bridge in the States have toll gate so l don't see anything wrong with a toll gate in the Niger bridge provided the money is use to maintain the bridge and the roads leading to the bridge..

Asked to comment on the duration of the project, he said, “This is not a contract. It is a PPP transaction. The PPP transaction will cover a period of 25 years for them (Julius Berger AIMS Consortium). By the conclusion of the discussions on the second phase, at least the construction period will emerge. It is not like a normal contract that the government is funding.”

He explained that the consortium would raise the fund for the project and that the government would only take a very marginal percentage of it to show commitment.

He said, “It is interesting to note that Africa Infrastructure Investment Managers or AIMS, are world leaders in infrastructure financing and they are in partnership with one of the biggest infrastructure financier in the world. And we are happy that this project has been able to attract such a group to this country.”

Abeg try again.....



And the toll money collected off Ikoyi Link Bridge is going back to the state governemnt aka people of Lagos to bprovide more infrastructures for the people of Lagos unlike in your case, your money is going back to whereever JB came from with zero benefit to you.

You people should be crying really. I mean, after begging for 30 years, he saddled you with decades of tolling and not a direct FG contract award with zero burden on you. This BS is even based on intent..

Re: Julius Berger Begins Work On Second Niger Bridge by Nobody: 5:33pm On Jun 25, 2013
Good one. There is no time to be wasted in developing every part of the country. I think this bridge will have a huge impact in that region when completed.

This is indeed a laudable project.
Re: Julius Berger Begins Work On Second Niger Bridge by Nobody: 5:37pm On Jun 25, 2013
Yup, now heres a "valid" reason and excuse to pless umblella in next elections.

Finally, after 30yrs of begging and bullying the rest of the country for a Bridge, Eastern Administrators can sit back and enjoy their loot and share more instead of pooling together funds to build more developmental projects.

Hmmmn.... what are they going to beg for next?

You call it "begging"? The same way you'v been "begging" for stable power, rehabilitation of Lagos-Ibadan road,etc. When those problems are solved, what will you "beg for next"?

Ode, do you know the meaning of lies especially after cementing my claims with documented facts...

Please stop Janging...

Questions...

Who is funding the projec?

Who is going to be the toll collector and in whose pocket is the toll money going to?

Answer both questions and shame yourself with the answers...

You are wrong, we don't beg, we instead get off our asses and do something hence building many bridges in less than 4 years while your masters are yet to build one in decades.

We not only build our own roads, we take over the ones your weak and incompetent masters refused to take care of.

Fashola wrestled Badagry express away from you because of your incompetence, he wresteled Ikorodu road away from your lazy and incompetent masters, Fashola is side stepping your worthless elctricity system by building his own with underground cables.

Amosun is also fighting to wrestle Ogun roads away from your worthless masters.



We don't beg, we take care of our own destiny and future. Only foolish and lazy people beg other foolish and lazy people..
