2nd Niger Bridge opens for traffic February 2022— NIWA

The Managing Director and Chief Executive of National Inland Waterways, NIWA, Chief George Moghalu, has said the 2nd Niger Bridge would be opened to traffic from February 2022.

Moghalu said this at the flag-off of a bathymetric survey of the Aghommili-Mmamu-Ezu-Nkisi-Niger River course, on Tuesday.

The brief flag-off was performed by Chief Moghalu at the Aghommili River bank at Ndikelionwu, Orumba North Council of Anambra State.

Moghalu said: “By February next year 2022, the new Second Niger Bridge will be opened for vehicular use.

“President Muhammadu Buhari [has already] flagged off construction of the eastern rail line at Port Harcourt. This will traverse all states in the South-East.

“This administration is serious and committed to transforming the lives of all Nigerians, including those of the South-East. It has done and continues to do so much for the South-East.

“The bathymetric survey of the rivers that share a common course is aimed at opening up enormous economic and agricultural activities that will boost commercial activities in Anambra State.

“It would also restore the historic water transportation along the course as in the past, which would reduce pressure on our roads infrastructure.

“I have confidence in the survey team from NIWA who are already on ground and working, led by the Acting General Manager, Mr. Henry Adimoha.”

However, while demonstrating and explaining the specialised survey machines, Mr. Adimoha said the survey will give the vertical/horizontal shape, map and depth of the river course for onward transmission to the engineers in view of its dredging.

Chief Tagbo Ike and Chief Edozie Obasi, stakeholder and President-General, respectively, of Ndikelionwu community, venue for the flag-off, gave historical background details of the river’s course.

This is huge:



Developing that Onitsha - Asaba axis into a navigable waterway will create all types of businesses in that region, such as:

Tour boats and yachts for use/hire/sale.

Speed boats manufacturing and repair services

Local cruise ships which may go international

Goods and merchandise transportation

Waterfront resorts and hotels with boating and cruise facilities

See, Buhari is not just building a bridge over the Niger.

He is building an entirely new, world class Transport Ecosystem to serve the Eastern region and beyond.

This what we call development.

Kudos Mr President.

be deceiving yourself and the gullible ones who listen to you.


The igbo businessmen in their millions, the political leaders and intellectuals are the ones sponsoring Ipob if you don't know.

Rissimenky:


No they're not.

It was shady foreign businessmen who paid Kanu money on the promise that he would deliver them the Niger Delta oil resources.

Which was why he rejected the 5 Igbo states offered him while in prison, according to his own words, saying he wanted the Niger Delta as well.

His reasoning is too low to be in dss but since it's a Fulani government, they don't use merit. The reason we have been struggling. No qualified persons at the helm of affairs

ygowon:
Even if Biafra is created today, it does not stop Igbos from traveling. Or you don't know there are Ghanaians in Nigeria? Does that make them Nigerians?

There will always be million Igbos to sell to you, else you will die of lacks

Rissimenky:


NA LIE YOU TALK DIA.

If Igbos secede from Nigeria, you will be deported EN MASSE to Igboland, because you would become ILLEGAL ALIENS EVERYWHERE IN NIGERIA.

In fact nobody will need to tell you to go. By the time army and police have dealt with you as a foreigner, you will know yourself.
