Since time immemorial, it has been common knowledge that collapse of infrastructure is one of the critical challenges that has stunted the growth of our economy. Every electioneering season, all parties recognise this fact and structure their campaign around it. Cheta Nwanze, Lead Partner for SBM Intelligence runs us through the history relating to the use of this bridge for politicking. According to him: “The Second Niger Bridge was first proposed during the 1978/79 political campaign season by then-candidate Shehu Shagari of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) In 1987, after warning about the state of the existing Niger Bridge by his Minister for Works and Housing, Abubakar Umar, General Ibrahim Babangida challenged local engineers to design the Second Niger Bridge. President Olusegun Obasanjo promised to deliver a second Niger bridge. However, his administration did not carry out any major activity on the project until five days before he handed over to the then-incoming administration of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, when Obasanjo flagged off the project in Asaba. The incoming administration effectively inherited the ₦58.6 billion proposed cost for a six lane, 1.8 km tolled bridge, which was to be completed in three-and-half years. The bridge was to be financed under a public private partnership (PPP) with 60 per cent of the funding coming from the contractor, Gitto Group; 20 per cent from the federal government; and 10 per cent each from the Anambra and Delta states. Unfortunately, the politics surrounding the health, and subsequent death of President Yar’Adua did not allow for progress on the project. It wasn’t until August 2012, that the Federal Executive Council, under the Jonathan administration, approved a contract worth ₦325 million for the final planning and design of the bridge. During the 2011 general election campaign season, Jonathan had promised that if elected, he would deliver the project before the end of his term in 2015. At an Onitsha town hall meeting on the August 30, 2012, he promised to go on exile if he didn’t deliver on the project by 2015. However, the groundbreaking ceremony did not take place until March 10, 2014, a year before the 2015 general elections.” Today, the bridge has become a reality. It will no longer be used as a campaign tool. We have solved that one and can move on to other things. This is progress. Today, those who failed to record any score on infrastructure are going about telling voters that infrastructure does not matter. They have introduced a new catchphrase: “human capital infrastructure” And as usual those who they deceived before are deceived again... |

For me the best city now is Owerri, then Enugu and and now growing Abakiliki. Awka and Onitsha is doing well in buildings, but the urban roads needs facelift https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrI6rMSo0g0 1 Like |

Awka and Onitsha are the best cities in igboland followed by Enugu, Abakaliki and Owerri. That is why Anambra has the biggest economy in igboland. Umuahia is a glorified village while Aba is cesspit of dilapidated roads and filthy environment. Though Owerri and Aba shares the same outlook. NwekereNdoki: Pictures: Owerri 1 Like

ThinkSmarter: U didn’t add they have the most timid pple in Anambra. Most of them are too backward in thinking that’s why development will never happen in Anambra. Stubborn pple who don’t like positive development that’s why their gov is finding it hard to turn the state to a Dubai. The only chance they had to change the face of Anambra a bit was stolen by a drunkard gov and his 200 aides |
