At long last. Well congrat ooo. But that bridge is no way near 220 meters.

Kairoseki77: Always good to see this!

Question though, is this really an accomplishment?

I wonder oooo!!!

So building a 220 metres bridge when your revenue runs into billions is now an achievement. When he builds a bridge like the proposed fourth mainland bridge then we can congratulate him. Fashola has built a suspension bridge abeg make we hear word. Its not like there is any serious river flowing under the bridge another over blown project to siphon state funds.

A good project,but why that curve bridge...I personally don't like that design..

Yes it is..if we can celebrate Fashola's 7KM road and Street Lights..then why not this?

Really, I wonder why you people hail them for doing their work. Is this bridge worth congratulating? What is the length? It seems that is the only tangible thing that has been done by that honourable government in place.

I hope and pray that one day, things will change in Nigeria and the government will start doing what is right and necessary.

good one governor but you have not paid us our award price after 3 month

That looks like a road - defo not worth celebrating.

For those who dont have short attention span and hence can read more than 2 sentences the importance of this bridge to cross river and nay nigeria is embeded on the information below sorry if you cant read more than a few sentences then you would not know why idundu bridge is important and why it should be celebrated:


A submerged low-bed trailer that caused
the collapse of Idundu Bridge linking
Nigeria and Cameroun in Akpabuyo Local
Government Area of Cross River State
Saturday. The bridge links Nigeria and
Cameroun.
"THE 42-year-old Idundu bridge on Oban-Ekan road in Cross River State linking Otu-end of the Republic of Cameroun has collapsed, crippling economic activities in the area.
The collapsed bridge has also affected work at the ongoing construction site of the multimillion dollar Orascom/Unicem cement factory at Mfemosin, Akamkpa Local Government Area of the state, as well as cut off Obasanjo Farms at Ekong Anaku in the same local government area from the other part of the state.
The bridge, with a capacity for 20 tonne weight, collapsed at the weekend when a trailer low bed conveying an earth moving vehicle to the Oracom project site plunged into the Idundu River and crushing in the process, a tipper truck that was loading sand under the bridge at the time.
Though no life was lost, the impact of the accident prompted the state governor, Mr. Donald Duke, to visit the scene where he mandated the commissioner for works, Mr. Julius Okpotu, to assess the level of damage and work out temporary alternative for the people in the area.
Okpotu, who addressed the community in Akansoko, condoled with them for the accident and promised to provide a boat to ferry the people as a temporary measure to the problem.
The commissioner commended the villagers for their calm and understanding in the wake of the accident and sued for cooperation as well as support while the state government would liaise with the Federal Government and Orascom Company to rebuild the bridge.
He implored them not to blame the company for the accident since it was not deliberate. Okpotu added that the Orascom/Unicem cement plant when completed, would create jobs for the community and the state.
Also speaking, the Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Dominic Aqua Edem, thanked Duke for taking urgent steps to address the problem and appealed for calm from the community.
In his remark, the project manager of Orascom, Mr. Brain Sears, said the company was deeply grieved by the incident and promised to collaborate with the relevant authorities in building the bridge while promising to provide a boat to convey the people across the river at no cost as a temporary measure.
A community spokesman, Mr. Edem Ekong, commended the state government for the prompt concern over the incident and appealed to government to ensure the planned provision of water and electricity promptly, alongside the building of the collapsed bridge.

wetin dis one dey talk? u get sense at all, how many bridges has fashoola built in rural settlements in badagry and epe? use ur head sometimes

To show you how slow and inactive Nigerian leaders are, the former bridge collapsed as far back as 2005/2006 which prompted the construction of this very one that is just being completed now. Something that could have been executed at most, 2yrs period. Smh!

I must keep criticizing nigerian leaders till the mantle of leadership is given to me to show examplary leadership.

Good stuff. But been a professional Engineer, I think the project will become a nightmare in the next two years or so!
Why do Nigerian government, including the states and federal keep building roads without drainage? Its a total waste of money...
Such roads get washed away as fast as possible!

good for the community

but why isnt the road closed off , the road leading to the bridge? no barriers no pavement

CECC just taking over, where are the nigerian companies?
