Sotland:
Jonathan awarded this second niger bridge contract and paid mobilization fee. JB has started working before Buharia came and cancel the contract. Because a substantial amount was given to JB, he had no choice than to re award the contract to JB again.

So why should anyone give credit to buhari for second niger bridge which was the blueprint and making of Jonathan in the first place?

Cancelled the contract and doubled the contract sum.

Throwback:
Good!

Buhari has succeeded where Jonathan and Peter Obi failed.

What manner of NEPA certificate illiterates swallow news without taking a holistic view of the issues?
Does it matter how Buhari abandoned the project for years, after Jonathan paid and started the construction? Should that matter to you as an intelligent Nigerian

Why is Buhari suddenly desperate to revive the Niger Bridge project he abandoned and later cancelled just for some propaganda ?

Does this have anything to do with his plan to secretly try Kanu in a kangaroo court and hang him for merely expressing his opinion for self determination of Ndigbo?

What is really going on?

In any case, these pictures were taken at the level of work at the Asaba end of the bridge in April 2015 when incidentally GEJ was still funding the project.

...Buhari should order Julius Berger back to site - Stakeholders

There is anger in the South East zone over the Federal Government’s abandonment of the N140 billion ($700 million) 2nd Niger Bridge.
Investigations by The AUTHORITY revealed that the contractor, Julius Berger Construction Company, stopped work on the project which is being constructed under Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement since April 2015.
Concerned citizens of Eastern Nigeria and other stakeholders are appealing to President Buhari to direct the construction company to resume work on the project.
After a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on August 26, 2015, the Director
General of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Aminu Diko, had hinted that work on the vital bridge would be suspended.
Dikko said: “The communities around that area are clamouring that their lands have been taken and that they have not been compensated adequately. As a matter of fact, we got a letter from the Onitsha Traditional Rulers Council complaining that they have not been adequately represented in this transaction.”
As that was raging, the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole called on the former Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, to explain to Nigerians the whereabouts of the billions meant for the bridge as according to him, $700 million was drawn from the Sovereign Wealth Fund for the project.
The bridge’s contract was awarded by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan during the second term of former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.
Onolememen had then assured Nigerians that the project would be completed before the expiration of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in 2015 as part of efforts to deliver on the campaign promises of that government.
But Jonathan lost in the election and immediately the contractor left the site.
The bridge is said to have been reflected in this 2016 Budget with hope that something tangible would be done to construct the bridge.
All the several efforts made by The AUTHORITY to speak with the management, including the Managing Director of Julius Berger Construction Company, Mr. Wolfgang Goetsch, on why work was stopped on the project, proved abortive.
Some stakeholders, however, claimed that the construction giant abandoned work immediately President Buhari took over the mantle of leadership about 10 months ago, following a presidential directive that work at the site should discontinue.
An employee of the firm (name withheld) who claimed he was recruited in April 2014 at the site of the bridge, admitted that Julius Berger had stopped work at the project site since June 2015 due to non-funding by the Federal Government.

KosiGee:


The bridge has 16 toll gates where Easterners would pay before they use it. Who is fooling who?

FreeStuffsNG:
Amen. Now can you rest and understand that your poor character, idleness on social media , laziness and personal failures are not caused by APC and Buhari.

It is just typical of failures looking for who to blame but themselves I am very proud of President Buhari and I pray for more of God's grace upon him.

So you typed all this epistle just to reply my mention.
Now who is more idle if not your zombified ass

This is gigantic and commendable. You don't have to like Buhari to admit this.

You have options by going through the old bridge which is free.

ZombieTAMER:


Is it free?

This was done to extort money from the users

gigantic toll gates are there to milk the masses for ages..

The devil's gift is not for free
something must have to give

U can tell that to your village people. Ignorant people, this bridge have been what all politicians use to campaign to Easteners. Jonathan used it to campaign like other but couldn't raise 3 pillars n he deserve acknowledgement. Now I see igbos r the people that love suffering and smilling

Why don’t you just commend the achievement for once?….afterall Jonathan and Obi could not deliver the project ….only promises!

ZombieTAMER:


I mean APc built toll gates to extort money.. From the people knowing they're mostly Christians..

Why do you think APc went for Muslim Muslim ticket.. it's there disdain for Christians .

how many toll gates are in third mainland bridge?

Dumb assertion.. With the bridge tolled, it will be always be in tip top shape.. Unlike the one you begged to change..

Abdul05:
Come and thank tinubu for this ..

If he didn't lead buhari to power.l don't think south east would ever have this huge project.

You no go allow this tired man rest in peace?

rusher14:


PDP did not even delay them.

They simply didn't do them.

And you still voted them.

That guy na idiot. Just leave the idiot

Corridon:
The only federal project in the east.

Done by Buhari and APC within 7 years but overlooked by Jonathan and PDP for good 16 years. And east is still with PDP

Nothing to commission in December, the project is just 50%, the link road from Asaba end is still 0%, nothing is happening there.

Temptee101:


You no go allow this tired man rest in peace?

not in Nigeria but in Biafra land certainly..

Wao! Buhari has done it again, even to the region that hates him the most...what a man! God bless PMB! He talk less but do much more

Abdul05:

Project was commissioned by former president Goodluck Jonathan and not Buhari. Including the federal rail ways and high way/express roads across the federation of Nigeria.

Beautiful to know that.

Commend tolling?..
robbing the masses

whiskystan:

Exactly, because it's the devil's gift

nothing goes for nothing

ZombieTAMER:


please stop calling this Greek gift an achievement.

by the time it's in use, you will see it was meant for extortion.

You’re not compelled to use it nah…..you can decide to take an alternative route or choose to swim across the river. Who cares?

Corridon:

keep quiet! If you have got nothing to say. South east, the new home for terrorism. I learnt that today is public holiday in your region.

just what I wanted to hear

we will swim

but we will survive

iamwilliamsfx:
Just look at how long it took build just a bridge

Very sad indeed

Nigeria is finished

Bad belle

ogascomax:
Do not allow APC deceive you this project is not just Federal government project it's a combination of groups. Delta State government and Anambra state government gave 10% for the project. Also it's an investment by both private sector and the federal government both have their percentage. Those money will be realized through tollgate. PDP government had already invested money for that project and the commuted huge resources so APC government should not be claiming glory for project that was ongoing before the came and invested their portion. It's a collective effort by past and present administrations.

Abeg Rest , PDP couldn’t deliver the bridge for 16 years you’re giving them the credit APC did it in 7 yrs you’re still criticizing them Shame no Dey catch you . When you’re talking out of bitterness you barely make sense .

Corridon:
We will resist the toll with the last drop of our blood. Where are they tolling in all the roads they construct in the north? When we reach the bridge we will know how to cross it.

BABA GO AND SIT DOWN

OmoManU:


Just let us imagine its the only, do you know the potential impact these project could have on the region's socio-economic life. You guys have just taken the hatred too far and too deeply.

Don’t mind those bitter things. Enugu express way federal road has been rehabilitated one lane . At least from Onitsha to Awka you can drive smoothly. Remaining the second lane . Both lanes were bad during PDP Era .

These people are suffering from Stockholm syndrome Dey love their oppressors PDP . PDP didn’t give them infrastructure, presidential ticket yet they still love them and hate APC. I see why APC government concentrate their projects in regions that appreciates them and will reciprocate them with votes.
Igbos in Lagos hate APC even they know they’re working that’s the same mentality they’ve in the East even if APC turns Onitsha to Dubai they’ll still hate them very ungrateful people.
