The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory
Commission (ICRC) has said that the construction
of the long awaited 2nd Niger Bridge is still on
course. This is contained in a statement signed and made available to newsmen by Acting Head
Corporate Communication ICRC Ms Debora Okafor in Abuja.

Okafor disputed reports that the project was “on
hold’’, “stalled”, “ being probed” or even
“suspended”.it will be recalled that the Director-General Aminu Diko recently briefed President Buhari and the media on the status of the bridge, which had since then received negative publicity.
Diko had said “During My visit with the President I
expressed concerns about project cost vis-à-vis
projected toll fees and engagement of community
stakeholders whose land would be affected along
the bridge’s right of way. The commission would
like to see the Niger Bridge completed to alleviate
the plight travelers face on that route, especially
during festivities.

Festive holidays

“We know that it is critical, we also know how
Nigerians suffer during festive holidays and we hear people sleep on that old bridge. The time has come to bring succor to Nigerians.’’ Diko said as a Public private Partnership, the project must pass through various checks to satisfy the Federal Government and investors alike of its viability and also to ensure people got value for money.

Diko said that apart from the Niger Bridge, ICRC
was working with private partners on the Lagos-
Ibadan expressway, the Sagamu-Ore-Benin road and the Murtala Mohammed road. He added that the three Deep Seaports at Akwa Ibom, Lekki, and
Badagry and also the agriculture silos and hydro
power were some of the projects the commission
was working on. “ All these projects are important to the nation and it is in our interest that they are successful. Most importantly, our duty is not only to oversee the provision of quality infrastructure services, but also to ensure that the nation and citizens are not shortchanged the
shortchanged by investors.’’
