The Federal Government has awarded contract for early works on the Second Niger Bridge and emergency repairs at the Tamburawa Bridge in Kano State at a total cost of N16.3 billion...

Mr Mohammed Abdullahi, the Assistant Director of Information in the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, made this known in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

He stated that contract for the second Niger Bridge was awarded to Messrs Julius Berger (Nig.) Ltd. at a total cost of N14.4 billion.

Abdullahi noted that contract for emergency repairs at the Tamburawa bridge in Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area of Kano State was awarded to Messrs. Borini Prono & Co. (Nig.) Ltd. at a total cost of N1.9 billion.


He said that the existing Niger Bridge, inaugurated on Jan. 4, 1966 had severely been overstressed, adding that its continued serviceability could not be assured.

According to him, the idea of a Second Niger Bridge started way back in the late 1970s but its realisation is delayed by several challenges.

He added that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was resolute to the completion of the projects.
Abdullahi said the scope of work for the emergency repairs of Tamburawa Bridge would involve the use of rock-filled gabion protection with reno mattresses, fitters and embankment protection to the abutments.

He said the intervention followed what he called public outcry and concern earlier expressed by Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State over the exposure of substructures of the bridge.

Easy na, why would you say someone's madness is fully baked. Haba.

The politics of the second Niger bridge has ran its full course... If anybody thinks that because of the emotional attachment of the everage easterner to the reconstruction of that bridge, he can now perpetualluy use that as some kind of politcal bait to lure easterners into enjoying a poltical kiss with a desert iguana come 2019, that person is living in a fools paradise.. You want to biuld oo, you biuld..., you dont want to biuld ooo. na your wahala... At the appropriate time, full consequences will be metted out for the unparralled level of political/economic victimization directed at the igbo by a litany of grossly inept Abuja governments.

Hope dem no go abandon the project half way

Hnnnn

Like I give a fu*k.. Mtcheeew

Hope this second Niger bridge is not Ajaokuta Steel company.
A bottomless pit for financial recklessness

APC making it to look like buhari started the bridge!!

U don't need to tell us.....we need to see for our self!!

FG will soon collect award for continously awarding the already awarded contract..

Kwontinue with ur lies, even God is watching..

I don't think Kano needs any for now, but other deadly roads in other parts of the Nation that need overhauling.

This is a good news especially for the flattties!
Congratulations flattties

Federal Government did not attach pictures to the report. Journalists and bloggers attached the pictures for effect. The real propagandas are from OBJ who flagged off the bridge and GEJ who padded the cost of the bridge for the private sector sharks without counterpart funding from government.
