GEJ, TRANSFORMING NIGERIA. Loko – Oweto bridge (bridge in Nasarawa and Benue states.The bridge will boost economic activities between Loko and Oweto and the completion would reduce time from Abuja to South East as the road will burst out at Otukpa Junction close to Enugu State.) will be completed by 2015 says the brilliant Minister of works, Onolememen
(make una show me Buhari bridge ohhhh!! Or Buhari anything. He dey government for ten years as Gov of Borno, Minister of petroleum, NNPC boss, Head of State and PTF oga. He controlled trillions. Where him legacy? Why no pictures? where they substandard? Is it because he and his inlaw made a mess of all the projects, so none stands? What were they?)
The Minister of Works, Arc. Mike Onolememen has assured Nigerians that the construction of Loko – Oweto Bridge will be completed by 2015.
He made this assurance during an inspection visit to the site and was accompanied by the Director (Highways), North Central and other delegates from the Ministry recently.
Arc. Onolememen disclosed that the project awarded to Messrs RCC Nig Ltd on 2ndNov., 2011 at a cost of approximately 36 billion did not take off on time due to issues bothering on change of project alignment necessitated by the need to avoid difficult terrain over which the alignment initially traversed and also abnormal high water level occasioned by the unusual flood of the 2012 rainy season which has now been adequately addressed with the ongoing work.
The Minister revealed that upon re-design, the contract now consists of the construction of two dual carriage bridges across River Benue with 3.88km long approach at Loko end in Nasarawa State and 3.09km lond approach road at Oweto in Benue State.
Arch. Onolememen assured that the funding of the project will not be a problem as the project is now under (Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE P) and 30 billion has already been allocated to the project in fulfilment of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda in the Road Sector. He reiterated the President’s commitment to the completion of the road for easy movement of people, goods and services, from the South-East geo-political zone to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja by 2015. He commended the contractor for the quality of work done so far which he said is moving in accordance to the contract specification. He directed Messrs. RCC to increase the tempo of work.
The Minister revealed that the bridge will boost economic activities between Loko and Oweto and the completion would reduce time from Abuja to South East as the road will burst out at Otukpa Junction close to Enugu State.
After the inspection, the Minister paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Loko, Alhaji Abu Sabo Ahmed, where he appealed to the Emir, to ensure that the indigenes allow the contractor to carry out construction work on the road and for his support on the project.
The Emir in his response appreciated the visit of the Minister and expressed the satisfaction of his people with the transformation agenda of Mr. President which has remembered them and made them fill the presence of government since 1926 when Lord. Lugard was using Loko as his meeting point with the leaders from Northern Nigeria.

The enemies of progress will carefully skip this thread.

You people have posted this and the pictures of that green keke napep on train track over a billion times on this forum!! Isn't there anything else to show us?? Oooh, I forgot, there really isn't. If there was, Abati wouldn't have been lying to the world on twitter showing Kwankwaso's projects as Jonathan's. No?

Let the bridge be completed before bringing the news and not later we will hear that oweto bridge project has been abandoned

This one is being built while they keep scathing the earth for the 2nd niger bridge.
Will this be tolled? No
Is it more important like the 2nd niger bridge? No
Was it built due to david mark's blind support for the presidency.? Yes
Will the PDP win Nasarawa state? No
Will they win more states in the south east?yes

this is one of the effort the likes of buhari and tinubu wants to truncate.
buhari thinks we are in the 80s were he truncated a democratically elected government.

gej is a humble achiever
at times i get angry cos he hardly respond to negative criticism but i later realized it is one of the trait that has made him special and render the opposition clueless

pmb & his social media goons are already taking credit for this project...

Just like other projects GEJ started he never completed it before he left office. Now PMB is finishing it. It's not really about who started and abandoned it on the wayside. It is about he who picked it up and completed it. Like Yoruba would say: "Ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ kìí ṣe oníṣẹ́. Àfi ẹni tí ó bá ṣeé parí.

Sadist.
Hope you're enjoying change

God bless GEJ,the noiseless and humble achiever.
Today,this bridge is open for public use but some goons want to claim it is buhari's achievement.
Thread is a 2014 thread to show GEJ and PDP already did 95% of the work on that bridge b4 buhari came and refused to do anything on it thruought his 1st tenure.
It took a delegation from Nasarawa and Benue to beg him b4 work he restarted work on the bridge.
Mynd44 Lalasticlala OAM4J,push this to frontpage so ppl can see the extent of work already done on the bridge b4 the recessionists took over

Thanks for bringing this thread to limelight.
