The Federal Government has lamented that the 2nd Niger Bridge may be blocked if miscreants continue to vandalise its metal components.
Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, Mr. Mahmuda Mamman, stated this on Sunday, when he visited the bridge to ascertain the level of vandalisation.
He called on security agencies to intensity surveillance on the Bridge to curtail the activities of the miscreants, who he said were after the mental components.
He said: “We are here to see the level of vandalisation of the 2nd Niger Bridge. It was an unfortunate situation that all of us woke up to the trending news of vandalisation of some metal components on the bridge.
“This is a massive investment put up by the Federal Government to ease movement of goods and services to Nigeria. To me, free movement is a basic human right and all of us must take collective responsibility to safeguard it.
“We have interfaced with the contractor handling the project, Julius Berger, and it is really unfortunate. The Federal Government has actually done what it is supposed to do.
“We have written to security agencies concerned, asking them to intensify surveillance activities along the road so that such things will not happen.
“At the same time, host communities have a responsibility to play because safeguarding national asserts is not a responsibility of one man; it is a collective responsibility.
“What the miscreants are actually after are the metal components on the bridge; anything metal, the miscreants are after it.
“And at the end of the day, if care is not taken, the entire bridge will become unmotorable.
2nd Niger Bridge: I had no altercation with Obasanjo, Obi of Onitsha counters Presidency Video: I feel so happy, says first driver to cross Second Niger Bridge “That is why it is good for us as stakeholders to make sure we safeguard this infrastructure in the interest of public good and the nation.”
On the delay in the completion of the project, he said: “We have interfaced with the contractor and he said the major challenge is security concerns.
“With the recent development, we are hoping that all things being equal, that is the commitment he gave us, in the next three weeks everything about the 2nd Niger Bridge will be completed.
“The bridge is still under maintenance by the construction company that built it and before the handing over, l am sure that most of the things that were vandalised are going to be replaced.
Later on now one stupid will be lieing to his zombies how nnewi people are rich not knowing 99% of them are cri........ Mi....... I don't want to finish it....
Sapa hungry people coming online to claim billionaires... Hahahahahahah
Amah70: You wasted your vote for a drug trafficking baron and certificate forgery expert, Bola Tinubu, to be your president. You belong to the ancient world.
marlow1962: Tinubu wants to go to war because he gets the backing of the west, does he think he's fighting Biafra? Lol, even common Biafra, Nigeria couldn't defeat alone and now he wants to go to war with a country that is Russia sponsored, lol pathetic old clowns. He think say na that nonsense were them and Biafra do, them run go they get backings because say them wn fight Biafra, if he try that nonsense now, by the time the west are done with Nigeria and Nigerians eh, Ukraine present predicament will be must better than Nigeria.
This is another perfect strategy the wests want to use again Nigeria. You go to war, they sponsor you with weapons to keep killing yourselves, while in return they keep embezzling your mineral resources meant for the development of your country. Can't you see Nigeria is a joke. Illegitimate president acting like a kid and some clowns are supporting him. Tinubu knows he's already an international disgrace, that's why he Chickened out and sent CEO of boko Haram to go represent him in Africa summit in Russia.
Next coup is Nigeria, except our military are yet to get tired of being a sacrificial lamb to shettima boys.
ode if their is going to be coup , the next army to such post will still be tinubu pretoge
sweetsandy4luv: A perfect trap has been prepared by the West, led by France and the United States, for ECOWAS to enter a total war in the region. We are finished if military action is taken in Niger Republic.
Any military takeover that last for more than 24 hours is deemed successful because the military would have won the support of all relevant parties in that nation.
A total war against our neighbors which would result from using any military force to restore order, especially when the populace is joyfully happy about the take over will not end well.
In essence, it means we will be shooting missiles against each other across our borders. A total catastrophe against our countries and peoples.
Imagine the influx of refugees from Niger Republic into Nigeria, with our current dearth situation in Nigeria. This should never be imagined.
President Tinubu must be courageous enough to resist French and U.S pressure on ECOWAS to wage any military action against Niger. We must use non-kinetic, diplomatic approach.
If we make a mistake of involving military means in Niger, we may end up inviting more internal problems to ourselves and to the effort we made so hard in building a democratic government in place.
The truth of the matter is, West Africa has failed to protect democracy. Our only option now is to learn from the failures and prevent repeating it, not to completely destroy our region in the interest of Western Powers, against our security interests.
FixxNigeria23: Simple question: what could you have done better than Tinubu if you are the one giving 800b from world Bank for subsidy removal palliative.

At the end as he was fleeing on his runaway vacation, Hannibal lecter was watching him relishing the dinner that would later take place. You and the cabal will have a tête-à-tête at the right time.
keymatt: White House usually role with presidents with serious corruption baggages like Tinubu. Theif Tinubu criminal/corruption stains will make him very easy to be controlled by America. Hence Kamala's phone call with Tinubu. If he does pim they'll open his books. Is this the kind of leader Nigeria voted Capital No!!!! I'm sure Gay and lesbian rights is among the top issues they discussed. And some local abgados think Tinubu will stand tall and talk tough to the west? How will an illegitimate head of state who stole 2023 presidential elections stand up to America or even call their bluff I laugh in swahili. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The reign of puppet Tinubu will soon be over. 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎
the only thief here is obi the druggie master of alaigbo...
