The Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has said that the Federal Government has put in place workable funding mechanism, to ensure the Second Niger Bridge is completed.

Fashola stated this on Saturday, when he visited the site of the project at Oko near Asaba in Delta state.

The former Lagos Governor said the modified tax credit policy, the Sukuk Intervention Fund and the Presidential Infrastructural Fund, among others, were aimed at funding infrastructure projects that would make the country globally competitive.

“By my assessment, the piling work is now about 50 per cent.

“At the time I resumed work at the ministry, only the bridge was designed and work had stopped, but because of the commitment of the president, work has commenced.


“For the foreseeable future, I don’t see any reason why work will stop again because funding has been provided,” Fashola said.

Continue your good work the honorable minister of works, power and housing. Haters gonna hate

Nigeria politicians too dey lie

Political eye service, for three years you couldn't even complete the bridge to 50%

Election is around the corner, you wanna use the bridge collect their vote. May amadioha strike you there.

Nonsense

I don't see any reason why work will stop again because funding has been provided.



Of course, you won't see a reason until the funds start getting transmitted by a transmitter from the transmission account via transfer due to an unforseen transition caused by the transmission, sorry, transformer, ehm ehm

you stop work in 2015...
you start work in 2018...


ehen...make we clap?


If you did not stop it then, maybe you will actually be coming to commission it

Fashola is One of Buharis first eleven..................


Buhari is doing well infrastructure wise in ala igbo

I believe is not your fault, keep on your good work . since you are not the one providing the funding is from above

We say the military was corrupt but they built some monumental projects that wasnt tolled. This bridge would be tolled just lik ikoyi bridge. Who we offend self

seunmsg:
Well-done super minister.

Super Minister of darkness and lies
The bridge will be completed in five years by current estimates.
Budgets are approved each year.
How can Fashola, a SAN talk about funding assured over the five years?
Maybe he is SAN but he is not sane

The only brain in this confused government

Let them just quietly complete this project and the completion speak for itself. There is too much noise about this project

These are the same people who marginalize the South East

we cannot forget how they called us 5%


Neither can we forget how they Marginalize the South East

This people don't deserve this project , they see nothing good in this administration, u can imagine how they are shinning away from this tread, they only rejoice at bad news , fulani herdsmen has killed 70 Benue, unknown gunmen attacked Kaduna villages, pretend to care and is what they pray should be happening, to have a way of saying bad about the government.

Are you, your family and friends having 24/7 electricity since 2015 when we changed from PDP to the energetic, efficient saints of APC?
Fashola told us that once we do that, we will have light yanfuyanfu.
Was he telling us lies

reasonable people of nairaland ; I don't mean the unreasonable group of APC supporters...let's analyse this........does fashola need a press conference to commence any of the mighty projects he is thus far handling..does fashola has to harp upon stoppage of funding or work if truly the work on the site didn't stop for a long time as against what apc kip claiming that work is on going...if it's not a political project why is just this one done very close to the election in spite of the fact that they know it would please a people.....all this shows u that the once very enviable fashola has keyed into the APC's ethnicised govt. yes..he need to play the tune as ordered by the owner of the pipe.......my p is that everybody one in the east knows this, APC knows that thier is a deliberate neglect of the people of both south east and south south,but the thing here is that these FOOLS allow them.self to be deceived by the media arm of the party through eloquent and properly selected transcripts and pics....pls ppl grow senses and praise this govt for things it did right and condemn them.for those not done write.......APC is NOT always ryt and truthful!!!!!!!!!!
