$35.9 billion for this 1980's era bridge? cheesy
Tell me this is a joke or some typo error. If they spent that much on this bridge then i have to agree with Femi Kuti, "Africa no get hope...I sorry sorry" !!!

Hmmm. Nice one.
Even when crude oil barrel price was being sold at and over $100 and PDP was ruling both the Cross Rivers state and the federal, this kind of strategic infrastructure was neither considered nor built, instead, they ,PDP,at the state level used a huge loan to build a white elephant Tinapa and Obudu cable car projects while the PDP at the centre then ,signed out Bakassi to Cameroon without tying this kind of project construction to demand from Cameroon in exchange.

God bless President Muhammadu Buhari. God bless HE Babatunde Fashola and all the patriots who conceived and executed this awesome project. God bless Nigeria. All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las.

Congratulations to my brothers and sisters in Ekot-Mfum who will be greatly blessed to have this kind of huge project.
Congratulations to Nigeria and Cameroon. Thank you OP for sharing.

Funding for the project was provided by both countries, but for Fulani and Maradi railway! Funding was singlehandedly provided by Nigeria.

You know nothing about the prospect of Tinapa Business and Leisure Resort as well as Obudu Cable Car projects.
Tinapa was conceptualised to be the Nigerian version of Sun City in South Africa.
I doubt if you would say that Sun City is a white elephant project.

Dirty politics in Nigeria has severely corroded some people's sense of reasoning, and that makes them to be unreasonable to reason in most of the issues that requires considerable amount of reasonable reason. Pathetic!

Construction started during Jonathan's regime! This site should stop helping historical Revisionists!


The Enugu-Bamenda Highway is part of Trans-African Highway, which was conceived over 30 years ago as a transcontinental link from Lagos to Mombasa. Today, the highway stretches 6,300 km, traversing Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and Kenya. The Trans-African Highway Authority that was established in the 1980s by the six member states could not achieve its mandate to fully develop the highway due to lack of adequate resources and political will. Cameroon and Nigeria signed an MoU on March 29, 2007 and sought funding from the AfDB and other development partners to execute the much-needed transport corridor.

The Enugu-Bamenda Highway project has been transformational in terms of the direct benefits felt by the population within the project area, including a boost to household income levels. Concretely, the project has contributed to job creation and private sector expansion by facilitating the marketing of agricultural produce in the zone with improved access via the highway and rural feeder roads. Video testimonies from beneficiaries confirm the highway project has improved social and rural infrastructure, including access to schools, markets, drying beds for agricultural produce, cassava and oil processing mills.

Impact
Years ago, the road was a nightmare to the population in the area. The former Enugu-Bamenda Road was described by locals as “the worst road in the world”. During the rainy season, trucks were stranded in the mud and women were refused rides because they were not seen to be strong enough to push the vehicles should they become stuck.

With the road improvements, transport costs and poverty levels along this economic corridor have already been reduced dramatically. The project has a tremendous potential for economic transformation by improving the efficiency of the transport and living conditions of the population within its zone of influence. It is common knowledge that Nigeria is the largest trading partner of Cameroon even with the prevalence of bad roads linking the two countries.

The Bank’s success story is not only on the Nigeria-Cameroon highway, but also in many other countries on the continent. Between 2009 and 2012, it rehabilitated more than 12,000 km of main roads and 15,000 km of feeder roads, providing more than 12 million people with improved access to transport in the continent. Also, during the period under review, more than 500 km of cross-border roads and 800 km of cross-border transmission lines were constructed and rehabilitated.

Sources of financing:

The $430 million project was designed to strengthen trade and cooperation between countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), and between Cameroon and Nigeria in particular. The project was co-funded by the African Development Bank, Ecowas, the governments of Nigeria and Cameroon, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation and the International Development Agency.
