Construction of second Niger bridge commences

 There is excitement in the south east region following the start of work on the second Niger Bridge which is meant to link the south south and south east geopolitical zone.

The construction of the bridge has been an issue since the administration of former president, Goodluck Jonathan who performed the ground-breaking ceremony.Senator Chris Ngige who is the minister of labour said on Saturday, January 31 that the federal executive council had approved N14 billion to enable Julius Berger to commence work, he also said  

“This is a project that previous administrations played politics with and the present administration under President Muhammadu Buhari has decided to ensure its realization. Our people should not allow the issue of compensation to hinder the construction work because of its enormous benefits to the people,”

I think it a nice project to kick off 2017 i pray more construction follows
