The Bodo-Bonny road is a federal project. It is being constructed by Julius Berger and funded by NLNG and Federal Ministry of works and housing. I was at the project site last year February to inspect the level of work done.

The money Nigeria overall seems to spend on road constructing i.e. on rehabilitating, repairing, building new in additions to fly-overs may have provided Nigeria with the more enduring railway infrastructure. Railway circuit needn’t be vast.

Na lie....it started in 2002

It was actually started in 1998 by the Abacha regime. If you go to the project site, you will see the old bridge constructed by the contractor that Abacha gave the contract to back then. When the project was re-awarded in 2017 by Buhari, Julius Berger refused to continue from where the contractor stopped and opted to start afresh. That’s why there are two bridges side by side.

Why do you like lying to yourself? Does it make you sleep well at night or what? Why attribute a Federal project to Wike? The desperation to deny Buhari’s achievements is real mehn.

Good. The people need to get out more. They are virtually unknown.

Did they tell you that they want to be known. I heard that the river around them helped with the security of the Island. Anyway, it is good for others to see what the place looks like without entering a boat

Good project, it is worth every kobo spent. It will open up ogoni land and Bonny island and opobo nkoro axis of PHC.

Rivers state has done what Lagos state is foot dragging on the 4th mainland bridge, ie a road to open up ikorodu, igbogbo and ibeshe axis of Lagos state.

The same foot dragging on the inner city railway constructions. On this the Chinese contractors must be wondering on what is wrong with black man. The almost twenty years project is yet to have rollers on it. Please ask the Chinese contractors if they have a railway lines construction in any part of China lasting this long. Fyi they started Hong Kong to Macao fast railway lines after this Lagos chaos and the Hong Kong to Macao was commissioned last year. The civil works there involved underwater escavations.

Black people where are you?

Hello everyone,

With due respect to all brillant young minds on this forum who one hope to see the Nigeria of their dreams. I’m forced to write in here just to correct the mis-information going around in here about this project.

I am one of the early subscribers to Nairalsnd back in 2004 and I used to own a career thread in here,

I write this as a retired NLNG employee who has a first hand knowledge about this project. I lived and worked on Bonny Island for so many years and looked forward to seeing Bonny- Bido road done especially during the heights of Niger Delta militancy when people were being killed on the waters and we only rely on Choppers and Navy security guided boats to travel out of the Island.

-Pls note that the conception of this project predates Buhari, Jonathan and even Obasanjo Admins. This project has always being part of the infrastructures planned for the Bonny Isand and sorrounding riverine communitities due to them as major contributors to the nations economy. I can tell you that this project was conceived more than 20 years before it finally commenced in 2017.

- We must give great kudos to the Buhari administration ( especially the tenacity and focus of Fashola and VP Obasanjo) who made sure that this project came to life despite all the odds that stood against it for decades. Jonathan had a golden opportunity to get this project started but he never did despite the fact NLNG was willing to pay 50% ( counter part funding) of total cost of the project as a motivation to get the Federal Government to this project going. It took Buhari’s commitment to take advantage of this 50% counter part funding to sanctioned his project. Government will in return give tax credits to company to cover for their contributions to the project. This has been done with the likes of for similar road constructions. Kudos to Fashola and former Finance Minister ( forgotten her now, the one with NYSC issue) for this initiatives.

- This road project was one of the infrastructural conditions to get FID for NLNG’s Train 7 as the company anticipates that water transport won’t be enough to cater for the influx of activities during and post T7 operations. Today T7 is not only FIDed but being constructed. Thanks to Buhari

- We all might not like Buhari for his nepotism and ethnicity tendencies but the truth is Buhari meant well for Nigeria but definitely there are sabotages here and there

- One thing that really got me surprised during the events leading to the turning of the soil ceremony for this project in 2017 was the attitude of Governor Wike to the fact that it was a Buhari Govt that got this project going. Wike brought in Politics into the whole thing and refused to attend the launch/turning of the soil ceremony. He insisted that he can’t attend an APC led insfractural project lunch. He instead decided to travel out of the country ( for his Barcelona academy project in Spain) just to have an excuse of not being in the country to avoid attending the ceremony for such a big and landmark project. He instead sent his deputy to attend the ceremony when the VP came to lunch the commencement of this project.

- Pls don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of Wike as I see him as one of performing Governors as per Infrastructural development but quite disappointed with attitude to this project. He chose to be selfish and partisan when he can easily choose to be happy with the people of Bonny that this long deserved road project has finally come to them and Rivers State in general.

This is not meant to support or castigate any Party as they all have their strengths and weaknesses but bottom line just to pass the right information about this project. Pls forgive any typos.

You are very right sir, particularly, the part in bold. Abacha actually started the project in 1998. He awarded the contract to Gilmor construction. They started the work and build the first bridge on the road. The bridge is now abandoned as Julius Berger opted to build a new one. The contract was abandoned after Abacha’s death.

Obasanjo and Jonathan both talked about restarting the project but they never did. The Buhari government finally re-awarded it to Julius Berger in 2017. All things being equal, the project should be completed next year.
