Recently, we wrote about the Second Niger Bridge update. The bridge which has become a source of concern among the Eastern folks as some as denied the existence of the bridge while some argued that the construction is taking more time to come into actualization.
It may interest you to note that the bridge is estimated to be completed in 2022. The bridge which was kick-started by former president Goodluck Jonathan and continued by Pres. Buhari gulped N360billion to construct.
