The Federal Government has taken delivery of the second Niger bridge from the contractor, Julius Berger, seven months after it was inaugurated by the previous administration.
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, while addressing newsmen shortly after he was conducted around the road and the facilities on Sunday by the Managing Director of Julius Berger, Lars Richter, said that he was satisfied with the level of work done.
Umahi, commended the previous and present administration for doing quite a lot to bring the work to fruition, describing the job as impeccable, very beautiful, and well completed.
He assured security with the bridge by providing Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras and some security personnel so that one could get security assistance within five minutes.
