solonazzy: The poo in question are the lies people like you who don't travel around the country swallow without investigations. I mean as a sane human being do you believe in 2000naira toll fee  That's a blatant lie. BTW the Governor of Edo a state and temporary minister of false information has been debunked with this rumour as regards the cost. That you have not read, heard or discovered it is even more surprising. Here is the original post and cost of the bridge... stop believing lies.... https://www.nairaland.com/2604174/second-niger-bridge-facts-figures#38076034 By Luke Onyekakeyah on September 1, 2015 The first Onitsha-Asaba Niger Bridge was completed in December 1965. Built by the French construction giant Dumez, the bridge linked the defunct Eastern and Western regions of Nigeria. Today, it is the major corridor of trade between the South-East, South-South, South-West and North-Central zones. At the time the bridge was conceived, Nigeria was mainly an agrarian economy. Thus, the bridge served as the avenue for transporting different agricultural products – palm produce, timber, rubber, etc. Prior to the construction of the bridge, these commodities were ferried across the River Niger between Onitsha and Asaba using canoes. Owing to rapid economic development and population growth, pressure began to mount on the bridge, especially during festive periods. The bridge has been overstretched beyond its capacity. There is apprehension that the bridge might collapse with catastrophic consequences to lives and property. To forestall such disaster, the idea of a Second Niger Bridge was conceived. The Second Niger Bridge was on the drawing board for many decades. Successive administrations in the country paid lip service to its construction. It was President Goodluck Jonathan that flagged off the construction of the bridge and actual work started. To that extent, it is wrong to accuse Jonathan of lying to Ndigbo about the bridge. Jonathan thought that he would win a second term during which he could complete the bridge. But he lost the election. The history of the bridge cannot be written without mentioning him. The truth is that work has commenced on the Second Niger Bridge and is progressing. The project, which is divided into three phases, will bypass Onitsha and Asaba to connect the Owerri-Onitsha Expressway at Nkwerre- Ezunaka, and then cross Atani to the Asaba- Benin Expressway at Okpanam with a total length of 44 kilometres. With this length, the Second Niger Bridge will surpass the world’s longest bridge in China (42.4km), to become the world’s longest bridge! The project is being constructed under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme. A Consortium JB-NSIA, is working on the project on the basis of Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT), at a total cost of N108 billion. The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) reviewed the concessionaire’s cost of N138 billion down to N108 billion. The project phases will be constructed under Engineering, Procurement and Construction contracts awarded by the Federal Ministry of Works (FMW). The Federal Government committed to contribute N30 billion (28%) of the project cost. The remaining 72% will be raised by the Consortium under a 25-year concession. The Federal Government has so far committed N18.31billion. Out of this, N10.4 billion has been disbursed leaving a balance of N7.94 billion. A team of local and international consultants was engaged through a rigorous and competitive procurement process. The NSIA has spent the sum of $2.21 million on consultancy and another $247,586 on due diligence to determine project viability. The first-class advisory services are required to enable the project reach financial close – the point at which private capital is successfully raised. Based on reliable information, work has not stopped on the bridge. It could be said that work has slowed down because of the rainy season that naturally stalls engineering construction work. Preliminary physical works have been completed. By December 2015, the final phase of the early works will be completed. The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is being done to meet the highest international standards to make the project eligible for long-term financing by local and international financial institutions. The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) is reviewing the Full Business Case (FBC) and Draft Concession Agreement (CA). Once the ICRC approves the FBC, the CA will be signed and the Consortium will then raise the remainder of the project capital. President Buhari has stopped work on the project. It is in the country’s interest to hold onto this project because any review will definitely raise the cost owing to the depreciation of the naira. The cost of the project was reached at the exchange of N154/$ . Now the naira exchanges at N197/$. I can appreciate that Nigerians want to see a second bridge across the River Niger. People should calm down. The bridge project has a development and completion time-frame four years from financial close – point at which private capital is successfully raised. This point has not reached, meaning that count down for the bridge is yet to start. 3 Likes |

THE recent statement by H.E. Governor
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State to the effect
that the Second Niger Bridge has gulped
N140 billion in consultancy services is
misleading; the facts prove otherwise. How
could a project whose total cost is put at
N108 billion spend N140 billion in
consultancy alone? Unfortunately, the
statement has raised much dust and is
capable of putting Nigeria in bad light. By
giving the erroneous impression that
corruption has crept into the newly
conceived mega bridge project, the
international community, especially, willing
investors in the project, could be scared
away, which is not in our national interest.
Governor Oshiomhole is a highly respected
comrade governor whose statements carry
weight. It is regrettable that such
unpatriotic statement was attributed to him,
which might need recanting or
clarification. The former Minister of Works,
Mike Onolememen, under whose tenure the
project was conceived, has debunked
Oshiomhole’s statement and challenged him
to substantiate his claim.
Oshiomhole is not alone in making
speculative statements about a bridge,
whose preliminary construction work began
barely four months ago, precisely in May,
2015. The rumour mill is awash with all
kinds of speculations. The South-East Zone,
whose patriotic instinct fires their zeal,
appears to be the most agitated. I would like
to stress from the outset that the Second
Niger Bridge is not an Igbo project. A bridge
that equally bestrides Anambra State at
Onitsha and Delta State at Asaba cannot
belong to the Igbo alone. I, therefore, can’t
understand why only the Igbo appear to be
too forward about the bridge. Everybody
should be calm and stop politicizing the
bridge that would, in other climes, go
unannounced until it is completed. The
other day, China commissioned the world’s
longest bridge measuring 42.4 kilometres.
Nobody heard about it while it was under
construction.
For example, while the Ohaneze Ndigbo, the
other day, reportedly warned President
Muhammadu Buhari not to stop work on
the Second Niger Bridge; the Aka Ikenga
also issued a statement condemning the
cessation of work on the bridge. Earlier on,
the Ohaneze Caretaker Committee had
lamented that former President Goodluck
Jonathan “lied to Ndigbo about awarding
contract for the construction of Second
Niger Bridge”. My fear is that these
statements could derail the bridge project
rather than enhance it. An attempt to
establish the truth led me to investigate the
bridge project.
The truth is that the bridge does not serve
the South-East more than it serves the
South-South and South-West that have
direct link to it. I am afraid that if this
bridge is branded an Igbo project, it would
be treated like everything belonging to the
Igbo. The bridge should be left to the Federal
Government and the international investors
to realise the project.
The first Onitsha-Asaba Niger Bridge was

This is nonsense. "Ziggy Azike" is a jobless idiot who will sell his people for a mess of pottage, unfortunately we have too many of them in Igboland. Julius Berger and Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority are responsible for the Second Niger Bridge, it is a much bigger project than the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge - it will include subordinate bridges and flyovers in addition to the main bridge and adjoining roads to bypass Onitsha and Asaba. Uche Orji spent time on Channels TV, he explained the details of the project. I have also looked at project documentation, there is nowhere where the figure to be charged as toll, let alone N7,000 as toll is mentioned. It is clear APC/Buhari doesn't want to build that bridge. First of all they got Oshiomhole to rubbish it, now this. Ndigbo are too strong, we won't die if our enemies try to frustrate the bridge. If the worst comes to the worst, we will build it ourselves. I have attached a press release from NSIA and engineering drawings of the bridge to this mail:

OrlandoOwoh: Here is the link. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaozhou_Bay_Bridge Jiaozhou bay is only 26 km. And cost between 10b to 55b RMB. Jiaozhou bay is a part of the Jiaozhou connection of bridges that has other bridges in the Shandong province. Shandong Province is close to Jiangsu Province where I buy used spare parts in China. I was in Qingdao two weeks ago and happen to see this bridge I can get you pictures if you want. Jiaozhou bay bridge has no railway tracks but 2nd Niger Bridge has it. The 12km railway track will cost billions of naira of its own. You people must get your facts together. 55B Yuan is not 1.5 billion dollars. 55 Billion Yuan is over 8 Billion dollars. And that is te cost of the Jiaozhou bay. You people should get a life and stop discrediting GEJ who did what Buhari would never do by handing over to an opposition party.
