The SGF said that in spite of the tremendous achievements recorded over the years, the war against road crashes was still far from over.
Jimoh Olawale, the federal controller of works in Delta, says the new second Niger Bridge will be opened to traffic on December 15.
The transport minister cited the second Niger bridge to justify the regime’s position that the South-East has benefited the most.
The United States said it had released $334.7 million so far to Nigeria as part of forfeited funds linked to the former military ruler.
The president’s spokesman said that though “insecurity is from the bottom of hell, fiendish, Luciferous,” however, it was not peculiar to Nigeria.
“The Second Niger Bridge that has eluded every administration will be commissioned in October by President Muhammadu Buhari and Lagos-Ibadan highway…”
Buhari is using the recovered $311 million stolen by the late Nigerian dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, to construct the Second Niger Bridge, Abuja-Kano, and Lagos-Ibadan.
Mr Fashola said that the construction work had gone beyond the water level, explaining that most bridge works were done under water.
