The Senate, on Wednesday,
mandated its Committee on Works to
invite the Minister of Works, Power
and Housing, Babatunde Fashola,
over the status of Bailey bridges
nationwide.
Bailey bridges, made from pre-
fabricated metal truss, developed
and used during the Second World
War, were built in Nigeria during
pre-independence and post Civil War
era.
They were used to provide
temporary crossing for foot and
vehicular traffic.
However, the bridges have either
collapsed or caved in due to
pressure and age, noted Gilbert
Nnaji (PDP-Enugu East) who
sponsored the motion titled:
“Recurring Collapse of Bailey
Bridges Nationwide.
Mr. Nnaji added that the collapse of
the bailey bridges nationwide had
caused “untold hardship to
commuters, motorists and other road
users.”
He cited the example of a collapse
bridge across Ebonyi River along
Ikem-Neke-Ugwuogo Road at Ikem-
Uno in Izi-Uzo local government area
of Enugu State.
“The attendant loss of lives and other
forms of livelihoods, as well as other
forms of economic deprivation and
losses are avoidable if proactive
steps are taken from time to time to
either maintain or to reconstruct
such bridges,” said Mr. Nnaji.
Following Mr. Nnaji’s motion, the
Senate, therefore, mandated its
Committee on Works to invite Mr.
Fashola “to brief the Committee on a
viable plan of action for the
reconstruction of all Bailey bridges
nationwide”.
Accordingly, the Committee is
further mandated to “undertake an
inventory of all Bailey bridges
nationwide with particular attention
to their year of construction and
current status”.
The Committee has four weeks to report back to
the Senate, Deputy Senate President, Ike
Ekweremadu, who presided on Wednesday, ruled.

Wonders of Wike on Roads in Rivers


Governor Wike inspecting road projects
Odimegwu Onwumere

The residents of Rivers State in different locations of the
state said that they were happy with the pace with which
the government of Barrister Nyesom Wike, Governor of
Rivers State, went about road construction and
rehabilitation in the state.
In their perception, the highlight of that was that the
governor did not use one company to achieve the feat
that residents threw their hats out in honour of him.
The residents said that many of the roads that Wike
made sure were reconstructed, were aged-long
abandoned roads by successive governments in the
state and at the federal level.
The residents of Borikiri, Creek Roads and many others,
where the governor inspected the government’s road
projects, might not forget the reprieve the government
of Wike brought to them in a hurry.
Areas where there were potholes, the governor engaged
the services of highly-regarded firms such as Julius
Berger and, CCECC, to enliven the government’s
determination in its “Operation no Pothole” project in the
state.
However, the governor did not achieve the projects on a
platter of gold. They were the proceeds of a N30 billion
loan he collected. Through that loan, the government
said that many debts in salaries, pension, and school
fees of students owed overseas it inherited from the
past government, were also paid.
It amazed residents of how Wike achieved all of that
from the “little loan” even that he told the world that the
Rivers State government was not a party in the bailout
fund of the Federal Government recently.
Unlike some governors that would have embarked on
projects that they would later abandon, Wike rather said
that his government would cut its coat according to its
clothing by focusing only on projects that his
administration would have the competence to complete.
The governor, in his estimation, said that it was
tomfoolery for any person or government to embark on a
project that he, she or it knew it would not complete. To
him, the best thing to do was to do the basic and wait
for the opportunity to further others.
Barrister Wike stunned the world on September 7, 2015
when he said that within the 100 days in office, the
government he is the pilot has built 42 roads.
The claim might not be newspapers projects; the
governor subsequently conducted select of
developmental journalists round the projects. The
outcome was that the projects were not in their take-off
stages. They were completed projects.
The aim of the governor was to make sure that the
damaging traffic-jam that was Port Harcourt was
reduced. From Abuloma to Woji and from OYILGA to
ONNELGA, the governor beat his chest in swagger that
his government was out to deliver and strengthen
governance to aid economy in all facets of existence in
the state.
The building of roads, not only in Rivers State, but
elsewhere, was the best way to build relationships with
people. Without which, there would be no inter-streets
cooperation among neighbours.
The re-construction of the Oil Mill-Elelenwo-Akpajo Road
by the Wike government earned him the applause of
Keke Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria, KORAN,
Oil Mill-Elelenwo-Akpajo-Slaughter branch.
The Chairman of the Association, Mr. Julius Ejekhene
addressed newsmen in the capital of the state, Port
Harcourt, and said that the association was proud of
Wike for hearkening to his electioneering campaign
promises of which the road was among.
The height of surprise was that Governor Wike was not
building only the state-own roads; he also extended his
working equipments to Federal-own roads such that
were at Onne Sea Port, the 6 kilometre road of Eleme to
Onne Junction that ditched to the East West road.
At the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway, a Federal-own
road, along Oyigbo area of the state, Wike was also
there. His pluck in the 6 kilometre road removed the veil
that presumably was on the eyes of organisations like
the Indorama, Intels, West African Container Terminal,
Port Harcourt Refinery, Nigeria Ports Authority, Onne
Free Trade Zones with Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to
see the need the road should be constructed.
Checks have it that the governor vowed not to pay the
contractor – Reynolds Construction Company – all the
money till there was 80 per cent evidence of work. An
initial N1.5billion was raised in the project that
apparently totaled N3billion.
The governor made it known that he would monitor the
work personally; even as he applauded the organisations
for their foresight to support the good works the
Governor Nyesom Wike administration carried out in
Rivers State.
Wike’s compelling factor to embark on the project, he
said was the immeasurable importance of the road to the
country’s economy.
“We cannot wait for the Federal Government to repair the
road. We had to take the initiative in the interest of the
economy of our state. Due to the impassable condition
of the road; virtually all companies operating in the area
are threatening to pull out.
“It is simply inhuman and unimaginable that people will
be spending three hours driving from Port Harcourt to
Eleme on a road that most resources of the country
come from. More importantly, rehabilitation of this road
will put to an end incessant case of kidnapping, robbery,
extortion and killings which occur regularly,” Wike said to
pressmen.
On the construction sites, the governor lived his words
that rains would never be impediment to the colossal
construction and rehabilitation of chiefly roads across
the state. On Iwofe road after inspection, it was there
that Wike deafened the residents’ ears with the promise.
“Despite the challenges posed by the rains, these major
roads under construction will be executed as scheduled
by my administration. These are major roads that are
critical to the residents of these areas for which we took
loans to reconstruct them, their execution will continue
as scheduled and we will not allow any contractor to
perform below expectations,” he said.
He did not achieve the feat by biasness; the governor
deplored different companies to man the different road
projects in the state. Unlike the Onne-Eleme road which
was awarded to the Reynolds Construction Company,
MCC handled the Iwofe road construction.
Senator John Mbata, Chairman of the company,
promised the governor and the people of the state that
his company would never disappoint, just as the people
of Oro-Igwe and Elimgbu lavished ovations at the
governor for coming to re-construct the once christened
“long abandoned” Oro-Igwe Road that had a relationship
with areas such as Elimgbu, Rumuewhara-Rumundu,
Eliozu Roads in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of
the state.
On 11th August 2015, the people of the area rolled out
their drums to thank the governor who was at the Eliozu
junction, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, and
performed the grand breaking ceremony of the road.
It was the CTC Construction Company limited that
handled the project and the governor assured the people
of the area that for them to have given him the mandate
to superintend the affairs of the state, he would never
disappoint.
The dignitaries that joined other residents of the area to
welcome Wike were Hon. Martin Amaewhule, a lawmaker
representing Obio/Akpor Constituency I in the Rivers
State House of Assembly and the leaders of the House;
Chief Collins Ewhulu, a community leader; Mr. Glory
Ejekwu, the president of Eliozu Youths; HRH Ezemekaka
Wobo the Paramount Ruler of Elimbu, HRH Eze Amb. I.J
Woko the Eze Ozuzu II of Eliozu; among others.
Hon. Amaewhule said that Wike’s interference in the
construction of the roads alleviated the suffering of the
people of Oro-Igwe and other communities. The former
Minister of Transport, Dr. Abiye Sekibo; former Deputy
Speaker of Federal House of Representatives, Austin
Opara had always expressed joy for the works Wike was
doing.
The governor also used Julius Berger and, CGC
Construction companies. Jiang Liwei, the representative
of the later once thanked the government of Rivers State
Government for giving the company prospect to donate
efforts to the progress of the state.
It was observed that car owners living in the affected
roads in the state once drove their cars to a point on the
roads and packed, then joined any available means of
transportation such as Okada and Keke Napep to
continue their journey.
Many did not pack their cars in their residences for
years, due to bad roads. To this end, they blessed Wike
thus: “God will bless you, sir, for remembering us.”
But in all, the governor did not only receive goodwill
from people. He was also accused of being the awardee
to construct a particular road by the past administration
in the state; an issue he vehemently refuted and claimed
that it was not true, but the figment of propaganda from
the opposition.
He was also accused of commissioning some projects
that were 80 per cent completed by the past
administration to mark his 100 days in office, a matter
the governor waved with the back of the hand and
claimed that it was a rude politics against his
government from the opposition.
He fielded information that many of the projects from
the past governor he inherited were abandoned, while
others were at below 50 per cent completion stage. He,
however, gave his nod that no projects in the state that
were of value would be left un-attended to.
According to a source, the governor surmised, “That
allegation is neither here nor there. It does not make
sense. What they wanted was for government to
abandon projects so that government’s funds will be
wasted. So that there will be abandoned projects
everywhere.
“What is important is that you had eight years and you
were unable to complete the projects. You abandoned
government totally. What you would have done was to
complete the projects. Election was done in April; so you
still had one month to complete but you did not do
anything.”
Some of the projects that sources said the Wike
government inherited that were abandoned were such as
the Aboloma-Woji-Akpajo Road which the government
said it took over at about 40 percent completion stage,
and the bridge at Nkpogu Road, and many others.
It was revealed that the governor said: “Let me also
speak on this Nkpogu Bridge. It was abandoned by the
former government. The contractor told us he needed
N500 million to fix it. So we asked him to go ahead. I
expect that N500 million should not be a reason this
bridge should not be completed. Tomorrow they will tell
you this road was almost 99 percent completed. Now
you see what we are doing here. When this bridge is
done, it will ease traffic.”
