A former Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen, has denied the allegation by the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, that the Goodluck Jonathan-administration paid the sum of N140bn to consultants for the construction of the Second Niger Bridge.

Onolememen, who made the denial in a statement signed by his media aide, Mr. Tony Ikpasaja, made available toThe PUNCH on Thursday, accused the governor of misleading Nigerians with “wild and spurious” allegations.

The statement noted that the Second Niger Bridge was a Public Private Partnership project being executed on the Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer model at the cost of N108bn and that only N10bn, out of the refundable N30bn funding from Federal Government, was paid through the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme.

The statement reads, “The Federal Government of Nigeria, guided by the Transaction Adviser, Roughton International, agreed to provide a refundable Catalytic Funding of N30bn. By May 2015, N10bn Catalytic Funding was paid from the Federal Ministry of Works’ SURE-P Budget to fast-track the early and sub-structural works of the bridge. This implies that the successful concessionaire, JB-NSIA Consortium, has responsibility for the design, finance and construction of the project, as well as its operation.

“The total project cost is N108bn (excluding duties and Value Added Tax) with a completion period of about 48 months. This cost was arrived at, after BPP’s (Bureau of Public Procurement) review of the concessionaire’s submitted cost of N138bn.”

“The bridge located at about 2km downstream the existing Niger Bridge in Onitsha, has recorded impressive progress. One wonders therefore, the intentions of Governor Adams Oshiomhole in deliberately misinforming Nigerians on the true status of the 2nd Niger Bridge.”

Where is the massive work? How do you measure it? Where is the project board to validate this is the second niger bridge site?

I am privy to the info on 2nd Niger bridge ..you can check my previous posts on this ..

..They are doing preliminary works and road paths from a community where Hausa settlers sell goats/rams before Okwe ..forgotten the name of the community.

I commented because you were making sweeping derogatory comments against the Igbos and most importantly, to prove that Oshiomhole is a pathological liar.

Ekushe.

What does Ekushe mean? I hope not an insult as I have the report button handy...kindly have a decent conversation or else.

BTW, have you checked the latest google image, the development you referred to is not even captured on google earth.

I am sure you are not referencing Warri's Effurun roundabout/ flyover

Oshomole is a very stupiid man

It's not in my DNA to insult people and that's why your initial post, though modified, irked me.

Ekushe(not sure of the spelling) means well done in Yoruba.

I will search out a thread on NL to prove the extent of work that went on the second Niger ..

Your brain is too small to encompass the rest of the pics.
Not your fault.

Who takes Oshiomole's words serious anyway?, only deranged individuals.

Lordave:
Oshiomole is a certified gollum!

Whoever made this man spit jargon constantly will not have peace.

iseeee

why don't you pay a visit to the place in Onitsha and see for yourself.I have been there myself

Oshiomhole has become such a disgrace, all in a bid to impress his new wife. I have a feeling the new wife also takes the substance Oshiomhole is known to take in large proportion. May be she has introduced a new substance to their collection and Oshiomhole is still getting round to it. Trying to warm up to the new stuff. These days he is always agitated and sweats even more. His kids should move in before the young lady destroys this man.

All i see is oshomole playing loyalty card so as to be engaged at the Federal level next year, if not,

Iara is back to god knows where. And konji is no mans friend.

Talkative
Short fool
Numeric Diahrrea

In short GOANDDIE!!!

Oshiomole is destroying his integrity.
He is not in the federal govt, he is a state governor. Let him focus on his state and leave the Centre alone!

Mr. Minister,
So this is all 140bn can do, kai I pity Nigeria!!

After spending billions of naira on this qhite elepjant project this is what the clueless one and his swines can show for it, abeg leave story. GEJ and his charts are the king of wailers

It pains me when men with reasonable pedigree, mess it all up while taking shots at relevance.... Oshiomole is one promising man, who's gradually on a no return journey to stupidity

OSHIOMOLE now thinks Of NIGERIA better than NIGERIA itself.

He now dresses WELL and attends all ceremonies.

He now knows everything

This happened after he bought and bought TURKEY home.
