2nd Niger Bridge: Berger faces N2.5bn lawsuit

The Ogbaru Community in Anambra State has dragged Julius Berger Nigeria Plc before the Federal High Court in Awka, alleging a violation of Environmental Impact Assessment in the construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge.

Also joined as defendants in the suit are the Federal Ministry of Works and B and Q Dredging.

The community is seeking N2.5bn as damages for the alleged environmental and health hazards arising from the activities of the respondents in the construction of the bridge.

The plaintiff claimed that more than 160 buildings from 15 communities in the Ogbaru Council Area on the coastal line of the River Niger had been adversely affected by the ongoing construction, which passed through Asaba to Ogbaru and stretched to Obosi.

The community claimed that the activities of the construction company had polluted River Niger, their only source of water supply, with attendant negative impact on aquatic and domestic lives.

They sought a court order to compel the defendants to recognise, deal and negotiate all terms and conditions of works with the Ogbaru Local Government Area chairman in respect of the project being constructed.

When the matter came up before Justice I.B. Gafai on Tuesday, neither the defendants nor their counsel were in court.

Justice Gafai said the court would not proceed in the matter without the presence of the defendants and fixed September 29, 2020 for commencement of hearing.

They won't get a dime.
They will be ignored into oblivion, it's like they don't know Buhari. And if you dare try any form of disturbance there you will be practicing social distancing inside police cell somewhere. Buhari no dey pay settlement o ask Niger delta militants.

It isn't trash; it's the real thing. The IPOBs are much like the sword that rends the scabbard! How can this people survive the next rainy season if their erosion infested land isn't connected to the Niger river? You daily develop other places at the neglect of your homeland; a Stranger wants to help you out and you're asking for payment. Dem use Money do juju for you ni? Never seen any people like these headless Biafra migrants anywhere, I tell you!

Re: Ogbaru Anambra Drags Julius Berger To Court Over 2nd Niger Bridge by lonelydora: 4:58pm On Jun 17, 2020

Have you seen how stupid Southerners and Easterners are? Same thing Amaechi complained about when they were building railway from Itakpe to Warri area.

FG's constructions will be going on in the North, and nobody will come out to disturb the project because they know it is for their own good.

Once it enters the Southern part of the country, everybody will open eyes as if they won't benefit from the project

If I am Buhari, I will suspend that project and channel the money to other important things, until they get sense. Afterall, IPOB have been saying no construction is going on there.

Woooow! I think the people involved should meet one on one instead of going to court. The community leaders should meet with Julius Berger to resolve the issue amicably.

This bridge has been a subject of campaigns every year.

Now, it is been built..there should be no court cases please, otherwise the FG will see reasons to justify their halting the project, and they won't be wrong.

Rather than take the case to Court, engage the FG and JB. Sebi Una get Minister from Anambra nah.

They want to scatter everything after realising that the bridge is not an audio project and will eventually be completed and name after Buhari.

My opinion, the IPOB wailers can continue to use the old Niger bridge, while the progressive and responsible Nigerians use the new Niger bridge. Some communities and their leaders will be so happy to give you land when they realized the kind of development you want to bring in, but everything about a particular region is about money. No wonder the PDP used the bridge to scammed them through their greedy leaders for good covid-16 years.
