JUST IN: COMPLETION of one of the major new Bridges being built by the @MBuhari Administration: The LOKO-OWETO BRIDGE, across the River Benue, linking Benue and Nasarawa States.

Now READY for Commissioning.

HM @FMWHNIG, BRF inspected today.

This new Bridge and the adjoining roads cut hours from the travel time between FCT and Otukpo in Benue State. (Allows motorists to bypass more than 100km of the old route).

See what Minister Fashola said a few years ago, before the completion:

Entire project is the Bridge section (2 bridges actually, totaling 2.2km, across River Benue), and ~180km of adjoining highway on either side. Now 100% complete.

incandescentena:
Soon those terrorists, bandits will take over their bridge

The economic restrictions, punishments etc ok the South East can only make us stronger, self reliant and hardworking, e no fit break us.


Our destiny as a people are already in our hands many years ago. They killed the Nigerian Airways, today 4 Anambranians have launched their own airlines with World class aircrafts. God will see us through

homosapien:



Use the existing one that isn't tolled.

Faber:


You don't know Nigerian govt, once they commission the 2nd Niger bridge, they will barricade the old one so that heavy duty vehicles and long vehicles will no longer pass through the old one. They will force all man to use the new bridge

Na for Ngeria i see say good infrastructure dey increase insecurity. Well-done Buhari. Another greek gift to the bandits/terrorists killing Locals in the region.

Benue people & the Nasarawa people take note. Criminals must be resisted by any means necessary in that route.
