Second Niger Bridge Impeccable, Very Beautiful, Well Completed – Dave Umahi

The Minister of Works, Engineer Dave Umahi, has commended the previous and present administrations for their efforts in bringing the Second Niger Bridge to fruition.

VerseNews reports that Umahi described the completed work on the bridge as “impeccable, very beautiful, and well completed.”

The minister mentioned plans to deploy solar solutions to address lighting issues, build service stations, and enhance security with CCTV cameras and personnel.

Umahi also emphasized the commitment of President Ahmed Tinubu to the project and the determination to acquire more facilities for the benefit of road users.

“What we have agreed is to deploy solar solution in the coming weeks so that every night we don’t have to run diesel.

“The roads are going to be completed when we have completed the two inter changes, one is taking us off from Asaba town to cut off the traffic and the other one is going to be done by Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) Ltd to avoid Onitsha town and take you straight to Obosi.

“President Ahmed Tinubu is very committed to the project and we are going to acquire more, so that we can build service stations, filling stations, restaurants and supper markets and other facilities as we see in western world.

“We are determined to do that; the need to do this with the inter changes is going to be a very smart one, so that over the years we can have a beautiful and maintained road,” he said.
