The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola yesterday unveiled plans of roads to be constructed and bridges to be rehabilitated. One among the bridges to be rehabilitated is the Buruku bridge in Benue. See below;

"Over 45 bridges, according to the list, are slated for rehabilitation over the next three years. They include two bridges along Sokoto-Gusau Road, Murtala Mohammed Bridge, Koton Karfe, River Ebba to Cheche Bridge, Jebba Bridge, 3rdMainland Bridge, nine Lagos Bridges and flyovers, Lagos Ring Road Bridge Abutment, Ijora 7-Up Bridge, Ijora-Apapa Bridge by Leventis and burnt Marine Bridge.

They also include Utor Bridge, Niger Bridge at Onitsha/Asaba, Onitsha-Owerri Bridge, Ibagwa Bridge, Ikom Bridge, Itigidi, Makurdi Bridge, Quata Sule Bridge, Katsina Ala Bridge, Buruku Bridge, Abuja-Abaji Bridge Section 11, Loko Owotu Bridge, Ibi Bridge, Kudzum Bridge, Gombe-Michika-Maraba Bridge, Gamboru Bridge, Katanko Bridge, Jaji Bridge, Borno/Adamawa State Border Bridge, Falani Bridge, Sumaila, Flyover Bridge at Silver Jubilee and Tambuwal Bridge"

However, and as a matter of fact, Buruku bridge in Benue does not exist as cars are ferried across the river using boats. I don't want to believe
Fashola actually released a statement with this lie, there has never even been a mobilization to build a bridge there!!. So if Buruku bridge does not exist, what is the federal government planning to rehabilitate? is this how they plan on draining the government purse?

APC is synonymous to LIES.


They pad everything; even sickness

APC is not lying about this, this are one of numerous non existed facility that had been documented as exist one.. meanwhile the contract or the budgeted fund might have been embezzled before Fashiola arrival.. and you know one thing about the ministry. paddling continue in and out.. Fashiola on this, can only work on the papers presented to him.. When you go deeper it would amazed you..

You will sit here and blame fashola as if it's not your governors and senators that submitted the proposals



People should be this stupid , it's not fair


Fashola can not know every road and bridge , he's the minister of works , not google map

God bless your knowledge, I am disappointed that these YEastPobs are getting dumber by the day


Wipe out might be imminent , if these generation infect the coming ones then we are done for

Buruku Bridge ko, Burukutu flyover ni.

Obviously someone scammed Jonathan that a bridge was built , and when EFCC traces that person now , they will start shouting witch hunt

and this government was elected to push blames? If Fashola is not getting his facts right about a bridge, how we now sure that a greater percentage of the list he rolled out is not scam?

so we have a minister with such a huge portfolio that works only on papers and not fact? clap for yourself, no wonder we are in such deep sh.it

When Lg chairman passes the information to Chairman, and chairman passes to Governor and Gov to rep , Rep to senate , do you expect Fashola to go and verify all submissions ??


Use sense

You expect him to be physically present at site or to check all the past documented projects.. Your people knows better about that non existed bridge..

This is about fashola,jonthan time is far gonne, so think of another way out.

Mynd44 are you seeing this? A clear call to commit genocide.

Reality is that all those who hope for another igbo genocide will be like seeds planted on the scorching bare roof top, they will die and wither away before their time.

Fellow nairalander do not be decieved the op vorigan is demdem the chief slowpoke of the bmc crew who was dethron by sarrki.
They fooled thesevels by voting for a bigger thief and now they are crying foul.

Dumbito, what does a local government chairman has to do with a federal government project?

So you really assume that the fed does not have a database and monitoring mechanism for all their projects nationwide?

Are you even aware that there are several federal agencies under the ministry of works, power and housing whose offices spread across the country?

Isn't it a huge shame that ignorant folks like you are the thought leaders for APC zombies?

king of hypocrites , you insulted me . your other posts you called for genocide , but you have the audacity to call mynd44 for one of my comments which clearly was a speculation


You talked about Federal Agencies , can you name some of them ?? Is it NEMA ? or what other agency are you talking about ? you and your type shouldn't have offsprings like i said earlier , clearly you have no point because we know nobody monitors anything and as for your rhetoric question , some federal roads and projects pass through local governments at different points in time and that's why a local government chairman or councilor is involved in preparing / suggesting an upgrade or a new project

Fashola has failed. He need to he saved from the enormity of works placed on him by a disaster of President.
This is a clear case of scam

surgical:

To get to the future, you need to understand the past


Some people like you are already blaming Fashola when it was indeed a scam perpetrated under Jonathan

I hope you should reread tune of my comment, all to told about the was not establish today or during the present administration.. this one numerous non existed past project ...

Jabioro:
You expect him to be physically present at site or to check all the past documented projects.. Your people knows better about that non existed bridge..

if he is unaware of the brigde, how can he then defend the amount bugdeted for the repair. So he cannot even demand for the pic of the damaged portion of the bridge. what is then the work of perm sec.

Let them continue... wasted nation

Onitsha-Owerri bridge? Where is that one,in the air? Thieves masquerading as change agents

Fashola claimed to have gone on a nationwide tour for inspection.

Did he hallucinate the bridge?

before they deem any bridge due for rehabilitation, are they(ministry of works) not supposed to visit the bridge for on-site assessment?

wailers will not blame fee dee fee and jonathan for this...

its realy mind buggling how they stayed quiet all this years with jonathan but await apc and buhari to perform miracles now..

myright:
before they deem any bridge due for rehabilitation, are they(ministry of works) not supposed to visit the bridge for on-site assessment?
