Second Niger Bridge To Be Completed In 2022, As FG Releases N33bn For Project by kahal29: 3:12pm On Dec 06, 2018 |
A total amount of N33bn has so far been released for the implementation of the second Niger Bridge project. The Managing Director, Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority, Mr. Uche Orji, gave the figure while speaking shortly after an inspection of the project. Orji visited the site with the Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe, who was accompanied by some of his chiefs. The project, which is being handled by Julius Berger Plc, was awarded in 2014 by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. The Second Niger Bridge project, which is estimated to gulp about N220bn, has been experiencing delays owing to various challenges which had affected its timely implementation. Speaking on the development, Orji expressed optimism that the project, which is estimated to gulp about N220bn, would not experience further delay. He said that private sector funding for the project was being planned to be raised by 2020 through bond and equity. Orji explained that already, a Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund to be managed by the NSIA had been set up for five critical road and power projects across the country. He said the PIDF, with a seed funding of $650m, was targeted to catalyse funding for the Second Niger Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, East-West road, Abuja to Kano road, and Mambilla Hydroelectric Power. He said the PIDF would eliminate the risks of project funding, cost variation and completion that have plagued the development of the nation’s critical infrastructure assets. He said, “The Second Niger Bridge project was conceived to provide an alternative crossing between Asaba and Onitsha within reasonable distance from the current “It is expected to spur an increase in investments, agriculture and trade particularly with the Onitsha Main Market in the region, due to the improved and quicker access. “There are three phases of the second Niger bridge. The first one is the 11.9 kilometer bridge connecting Asaba and Onitsha. The entire work is a 44km project. “The mobilisation for the project was released in August. We are confident that the funding is more stable now and we are looking at a completion date of 2022, it’s a big project.” https://punchng.com/second-niger-bridge-to-be-completed-in-2022-as-fg-releases-n33bn-for-project/ 3 Likes |

Thought APC were already campaigning and releasing pictures about the soon to be commissioned second Niger Bridge. By 2022, Nigerians will hear the commissioning date has been extended to 2050, just as has happened with the refineries, the rail lines, Ogoni clean up, and much more. Nigerians must rise up and kick these con artists out of office. 151 Likes 17 Shares |

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8257861_index3_jpeg7565e6fc237d9993e450bcbcecbbb90c For 16yrs, PDP could only commission a drawings and got massive support from the SE. But in 4 years, Buhari have awarded the contract, access road almost ready, pillars all read going up. President Buhari deserves the unwavering support of not just the SE but all of Nigeria to complete good work he is doing. Buhari has shown maturity and commitment in ensuring that Capital Projects are developed, even he is not the one that started it. Come 2019, it it Buhari all the way! 18 Likes 5 Shares

This is why I appear very stubborn before my colleagues and friends on my reasons to have pitched tents with mr President. The man and his government has continued to show what it means to make proper use of collective resources. Even in 16 years of PDP we did not record this volume of infrastructural repair that we are achieving before 4 years. A situation where contracts awarded to known and established names who have integrity at stake. And those contracts are cash backed. So there is no comparison, they can spend their money grandstanding, after which some will retire to their different homes while others will retire to kuje prison for all they did to this country. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

alsudan: It's a pity how people post imaginary pics to deceive theirselves in the name of campaign U will be surprised to note that after elections thus money may not even be released, if u remember sometime in 2016 Doyin Okupe raised alarm over this he said the plan on how to get this bridge completed has been stopped by this administration as their revoked d initial agreement between fg and Julius Berger which would has seen Julius Berger build this bridge manage before hand over to govt with fg having about 20% counter part funding them people raised unnecessary political sentiments but here we today at ground zero 12 Likes |
