IMO- Governor Hope Uzodinma has rated President Mohammadu Buhari high for the completion and commissioning of Second Niger Bridge which according to him was a fulfillment of promise made to Ndi Igbo.
It was indeed a commendable history made and promise fulfilled to South-easterners which moved Governor Hope Uzodinma, other South-East Governors and Stakeholders to commend President Buhari for the completion and commissioning of the second Niger Bridge linking Asaba and Onitsha in Delta/ Anambra States.
At the commissioning and handover held in Anambra State, Governor Uzodimma in his address stated that the bridge christened “President Muhammadu Buhari Bridge”, is a prayer answered for ndi Igbo and the nation at large, after so many years of appeal to Government after Government.
The Governor eulogized President Muhammadu Buhari as the hero of new Nigeria, not just because of his administration’s infrastructural transformation of the nation but for his commitment to the actualization of the unprecedented projects.
President Muhammadu Buhari in his address virtually, disclosed that his administration has doubled Nigeria’s infrastructure which signifies the country’s sharp focus on delivering prosperity to the citizens.
The “Muhammadu Buhari Second Niger Bridge” was first flagged off by President Olusegun Obasanjo in May 2007; the construction was commenced by President Goodluck Jonathan in March 2014 and was fully funded and completed by President Muhammadu Buhari in fulfillment of his promise to Ndi Igbo.
With this latest commendation to President Buhari, history has it that second Niger bridge was funded, completed and commissioned by the All Progressives Congress APC party administration under President Buhari.
