Sincere 9gerian:
Even the ones that did not raise a finger on the issue of second Niger Bridge since 1979 has always gotten your votes. I dont understand your anger on this issue. Is it because Peter Obi's name was mentioned?

Previous report was that the Bridge will be completed in 2017 but I was pleasantly surprised to hear the minister say it will be completed in 2015.

The project is worth about N100billion, out of which FG will bring N30billion and Julius Berger N70billion.

I'm very sure of the construction of the bridge under this dispensation because the project is part of SURE-P. Any project under SURE-P is a forgone conclusion because the funds, which is usually the major cause of abandoned projects in Nig, is READY at hand.

However, what I dont know is whether they'll meet up with the target of completing it in 2015.

I am quite disappointed with your post. I understand if you are skeptical, but your analysis is what I have a problem with. You cannot compare Akpabio who is 6 years on the job to GEJ's 2 years. That is absurd.

Secondly, if you know anything about engineering and government processes, you should know how long it will take to plan a bridge like that. The process of design and geological survey alone cannot take less than a year. It is not a road, it is a bridge. Also, the time is will take to source funds for the project. These funds are not lying idle somewhere. The government had to concession it. Do you know how long that can take? I am actually amazed they could get it concessioned in less than 2 years, considering the amount involved. It is important that before we comment on these things, we must try and google to at least get an idea how it works elsewhere. It is like the foool yesterday who was shouting that the train took 30 hours and I had to show him that Texas to California on train takes 2 days for their locomotive trains. GEJ is not perfect and can never be because he is human, but what I mostly find disturbing and faulty with most of the criticisms I see is that they are not based on fact or on fair judgement. The earliest I can blame GEJ for not commencing work on the second Niger bridge will be 3 years. To be fair, no Nigerian president has embarked on so much activities at the same time in 2 years like GEJ. In fact, most have not even come close. In 2 years, OBJ as civilian president was still arranging his office desk. Buhari ruled almost 2 years and his only achievement was to flog people on the streets. Shagari did nothing. Babangida in 2 years was still trying to justify why we should accept military rule. Abacha? Nothing to wite about. Only OBJ in his military rule is comparable.

all4naija: Two years to complete such a short bridge? World tallest and one of the longest bridges in the world took 3 years and few months, The MILLAU VIADUCT!

obi147: since julius berger will build and operate it for 25yrs plus with the AIMS financing, i see them completing the project in a modest time frame...MONEY MATTER

all4naija: 100 billion is equivalent to 630.4million dollars. I sorry for the way that country is been milked!

Millau Viaduct cost 594.03million dollars.Still cost less than what Niger-bridge would cost at 630.4million .

ba7man: Wow!!!....So that means we can afford to construct such an awe inspiring bridge over the Niger river. I'm waiting to see the proposed design.

Sincere 9gerian:
Show us the link to your estimates and bring out the quotes of the aspect of the cost. You cant just throw out figures and expect us to swallow it just like that.

KnowAll: [size=16pt]Where is the renderings for this bridge. How is it going to look like. Are they building a bridge without them knowing how it would look like. This news na wash, 419[/size]

all4naija: These are images available on-line. Very ordinary and not nothing spectacular about it at all.

^^^I just hope it's not that basic cheapass thing they're planning to construct with 100 billion naira?.....it doesn't get any more 'basic' than that!

all4naija: Can you, please, explain in details what you are trying to talk about?

Sincere 9gerian:
About the cost of the Millau Viaduct Bridge vs N100billion for second Niger bridge. You said the Millau Viaduct Bridge was cheaper and provided some links. Now from the links, I discovered the bridge was built in 2004.
