They even promised us a Mausoleum and have not built it.\u00a0\u00a0The construction of the bridge means rebuilding Anambra State and the Igbo land and making us part of Nigeria.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Apparently referring to the cementing of relationships by the bridge, the President said,\u00a0\u201cNext week, in Abuja, I shall be inaugurating the National Conference, and it seems appropriate that this bridge, and the Conference, two major emblems of National cohesion, are being inaugurated within the same period.\u00a0\u00a0I would like to assure you all that every effort will be made to ensure that this 2nd Niger Bridge is delivered.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Dr. Ngozi\u00a0Okonjo-Iweala described the existing Niger Bridge as a bridge of love, adding that the country needed more\u00a0bridges that would close our historic divides, and connect communities and the entire country. If the existing bridge is one of love, what about this one?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>True, the Second Niger Bridge will help remove the pains that attend the yearly traffic gridlock that is the headache of travelers, especially during festive periods, in addition to thumbing up Jonathan&#8217;s fulfillment of a campaign promise.\u00a0\u00a0It shows he keeps his word as he has done in other parts of the country.\u00a0\u00a0Take the noble Almajiri schools that none of the past northern leaders ever thought of actualising.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What about the Lagos-Ibadan expressway that even Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba,\u00a0found difficult to bring to fruition for eight years? That road will definitely redefine the commercial architecture of that axis of Nigeria.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The President performed the N117 billion bridge in Onitsha, Anambra State, disclosing that for the timely completion of the project,\u00a0the Federal Government has made a commitment to contribute 25 per cent of the construction cost, about N30 billion.\u00a0\u00a0A consortium,\u00a0Julius Berger-NSIA,\u00a0which has been set in compliance with the Infrastructure Concession and Regulatory Commission Act and the Public Procurement Act, is to execute the project.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Jonathan said further on the project: \u201cThe Federal Government is executing this project under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement for a concession period of 25 years, precisely, through a \u2018Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT)\u2019 model.\u00a0\u00a0We are confident in the capacity and competence of the Concessionaire, Messrs Julius Berger-NSIA Consortium, to deliver on this project, at the construction cost of about N117 billion Naira.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cAs we commemorate our centenary of nationhood, it is my firm belief that this bridge will deepen national integration and also enhance economic and social interaction among other parts of our country and the South-East\u2026 As part of our administration\u2019s Transformation Agenda in the road sector, we have set out to construct two very important new bridges, across our Nation\u2019s two great rivers \u2013 the River Niger and River Benue. These are the Loko-Oweto Bridge linking Nasarawa and Benue States, which is progressing satisfactorily, and this 2nd Niger Bridge, connecting Anambra and Delta States.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe 2nd Niger Bridge, whose foundation we are laying today, represents a strategic national infrastructure, with great socio-economic prospects for the contiguous States, and indeed, for the entire Nation. It is an important economic artery that will connect the great markets of Onitsha and Aba, as well as the industrial hub of Nnewi and beyond, to both the Northern and Southern parts of our country.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cOn completion, this bridge, which is being constructed almost 50 years after the existing bridge opened to traffic, will alleviate the pains experienced by travelers as a result of congestion of the old bridge, particularly during festive periods. It will massively improve road transportation in the South-East of Nigeria, and also reduce travel times substantially, in this part of the country.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Dr Okonjo-Iweala, disclosed\u00a0that the project would be 60 per cent equity and 40 per cent debt, adding that the financing model being proposed would be a template for the development of economically viable projects in the country, adding that it would ensure speedy completion of the project.\u00a0\u00a0Works Minister, Mike Onolememen, disclosed, according to a newspaper report,\u00a0that the concession period of 25 years through Design, Build, Operate and\u00a0Transfer (DBOT) model would obtain for the bridge.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He added, among others, that the total width of the dual carriageway bridge will be 35metres consisting of 16.05 metres wide three-lane carriageway in each direction and 3.03metres central reserve, and explained that two underpasses categorised as secondary bridges are planned at Amakon Village and Atani Roads with an interchange on Onitsha-Owerri Road forming part of the project.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He said: \u201cThe second bridge is being realised under the PPP model. The special purpose vehicle will be jointly owned by Julius Berger-Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority Consortium and Federal Government. And as obtainable under the PPP model, the concessionaire will have the right to charge toll for the use of the second Niger Bridge as well as have full commercial rights on the Projects Right of Way.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0As it is, the tone is set for the actualization of the promise.\u00a0\u00a0One can only urge Jonathan to keep up the momentum and deliver on his promise so that the legacy of the second Azikiwe can speak emphatically to present and future generations.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><b>Ehigiator contributed this piece from Benin, Edo State Capital.<\/b><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Francis Ehigiator 50 years after, another Azikiwe has taken concrete steps to link the industrious South-Eastern part of Nigeria to the rest of the country by a second bridge&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
