N400 millions is too small for a bridge, how will a bridge of N400 millions last? Nigeria Government should learn how to pump out money into projects please... we are not running out of oil any soon. N25 billion for such a bridge is not too much.

They should budget at least $500 billion for the 2nd Niger Bridge so that it can last us at least 10 years.

BestDude:
how can you say the cost is not the problem? Do you know how much would be saved to maintain that bridge if it had transparency with lesser figure, cos u know it is not up to 100M, let alone 400M...

When you condone such wastage, just know you are also a problem of Nigeria.

the cost is not the problem....maintenance is the problem.....blacks alwas had this mentality.....

400 million naira? WTF is wrong with us? And to think that this whole 14,000 capacity stadium below built by the management of Delta state polytechnic ozoro was built from start to finish with just a little over 600 million naira... This country sha.. but wait o.. AutoJoshNG where did you get that figure from.. I need to verify it please

I even learnt that the new pedestrian bridge at Berger bus stop along Lagos-Ibadan expressway costs around N15 billion.

Offpoint as your moniker his. If you spend such on a foot bridge, then no amount can build a vehicle bridge.

If d bridge is dismantling let them call on Fasola or to investigate him with huge amount spent on d bridge running to billions its no ten years yet and its already spoiling up.Too bad

Oga, contractor no go chop? Same your type will shout praise the lord in church when a member gives a testimony saying he won a government contract. Too many I holy pass you. So if it was you that won the 400m contract you will return it that it is too much right?

AutoJoshNG:
This is the Ilasamaja pedestrian bridge. It is situated at Sadiku bus-stop at Ilasamaja on the Oshodi- Apapa expressway in Lagos state.


The bridge was constructed and commissioned in 2013 by the Babatunde Fashola Administration.

This pedestrian bridge was built as a replacement for an earlier existing one that had dangerously degraded.

The length of the bridge is about 100 meters. The construction firm of Messrs P.W. Nig. Ltd. constructed it. It cost the Lagos state government N400 million to construct it.

This bridge – commissioned with a good measure of fanfare 5 years ago – is fast disintegrating in installments.

For instance, about a year, a portion of the roof, placed as a shelter on the bridge, dismantled, ostensibly by the elements of nature. Ever since it happened, and contrary to expectations, the authorities have failed to get it replaced.

Sadly, things like this further lends credence to the growing impression that our government embark on projects with absolutely no plan to maintain them.

I'm beginning to see your blog as misleading.

Pardon my thought bro but it's very unfair to post such report without full details.

To begin with, why can't you give us the full details of the project which has it's contract sum to be 400m Naira. I bet the sum would cover the preliminaries as per tendering processes, consultation, design, construction, monitoring and control, Auxiliaries like traffic diversions n securities.

5% retention might have been paid to the contractor after 6 months completion without defect.

However, the issue with deterioration might be linked to differences between the incumbent Gov n his Predecessor. This is in relation to maintenance culture of our system.

By the way, your pictures only show wind blown roofing but not a structural failure or defect of the same pedestrian bridge.

Try do more on investigative journalism so as not to defame.

NoToPile:
Dismantling is a wrong choice of word I was thinking it was vibrating, cracking or something else besides I am almost certain that it's Nigerians that remove the roof at night.

Same thing that happened to the streetlights along Lasu iyanaba road between iba express- bridge and obadore they even sawed one off simply because that side is always lonely no homes around there.


Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria o jare.

deboysben:
yes I will return it because am not corrupt.
