STRONG indications have emerged that the second Niger Bridge commissioned by the former President Muhammadu
Buhari at the twilight of his government will require over N260 billion to put it in use.
This is because the bridge will not be in use unless two bypasses in Asaba and Onitsha are constructed.
David Umahi, the minister of works disclosed this on Monday.
Umahi spoke in Abuja while defending his ministry’s 2024 budget proposal before the joint National Assembly Committee on Works, chaired by Senator Mpigi Barinada.
