Fact File About The Second Niger Bridge 70 Percentages Completed To Be Ready Before End Of This Year 2022. The Second Niger Bridge construction is a Nigerian federal government project that is 1.6 km-long and furnished with other ancillary infrastructure including a 10.3 km highway and a toll station.

After some idiots will tell me Buhari is building the project for SE who hates him whereas the project is a PPP partnership that GEJ signed with Julius Berger and others that will raise $500million while more than half of $150 which FG is supposed to contribute were paid by Jonathan administration.

The investors will tow the gate to get back their money so Buhari did no one a favour.
