Julius Berger constructing an ordinary pedestrian bridge at Anthony Gbagada axis ! I don’t know the contractual agreement or agreement but ,this is shameful to the Nigerian engineers, is there hope? Everybody is shouting “buy Nigeria to grow naira”.Well,i think that it is more like a lip service than action. This reminds me of the saying” talk is cheap ” and Nigerian government have shown that talk is actually cheap. There isn’t any commensurate action to follow the talk.

About the Nigerian engineers, I wonder what the Nigerian Society of Engineers is doing? Have they gone moribund? Have they gone into hibernation? Are they in limbo? Questions are asked. I am asking this because the last time I was at Anthony bus stop via Gbagada. The new overhead or pedestrian bridge that is being built isn’t done by a Nigeria firm! Just an ordinary bridge is being built by Julius Berger! A German firm. This got me wondering, if the Nigeria engineering construction forms can’t built ordinary footbridge, can they build a Hydro electric dam or world class autobahn, like the ones in Germany.
The shame is a two fold thing. We have to understand that as a country, there is not way we can make a headway be it economically or technologically with the orientation. How can we not build an ordinary bridge?
The shame lies on the foot of our local engineers. It has been noted that they do a very shoddy and below the bar works. Some critics say that Nigerian construction firms have refused to work in tandem with the global best practices. This prompted the Nigeria clients to give out lucrative jobs to foreign firms especially the Asians. Now, that Nigeria have this “relationships” with China, We can comfortably say goodbye to Nigerian construction, maybe the only Nigerian thing we will consume is music and food......... https://etimesafrica./2016/08/25/pedestrian-bridges-must-julius-berger-construct-it/#more-1025

We're talking about lagos mega city..
.Ambo is putting solid infrastructure on ground..
And using local engineers where necessary..
Go round eko and see lots of them.

Don't worry..you will soon appreciate why Berger is there..

Eko for show

Is it not what you tell them to do that they will do?

What happened to the maxim "Patronize everything Nigerian to grow the Naira"? If Nigerian Engineers can not be trusted to do ordinary pedestrian bridge to international standards is it road construction,airport terminals & runaway etc they will trusted to construct?
Me thinks in this day and age no multinational construction company should be given such 'pedestrian contracts'

What is this one even saying?

Julius Berger is an indigenous company ..
It is already incorporated and it is even a PLC...

what are saying sef?

Considering the fact that there isn't money, I think Julius Berger might be the only financially buoyant construction firm that may be able to construct said bridge

Besides they construct quality, compared with most so called Nigerian engineers are capable of, especially in the future if the bridge collapses same people will start shouting inferior materials and looting

Finally Julius Berger will not bring Oyinbo or German labor , they'll employ Nigerians so what's the fuss?

Smh for OP, can't you see clearly the poles meant for the covers aby trampoline. I think you should include yet to be completed... and not spoiling the said company.
