Loko-Oweto Bridge Under Construction

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has affirmed that the Federal Government is now constructing, repairing and rehabilitating a total of 40 major bridges across the country.

The Minister stated this while inspecting the Loko-Oweto Bridge. He said, apart from the Loko-Oweto bridge project, work was ongoing on the Second Niger Bridge, the Ikom Bridge and 37 other bridges in Nigeria, which were being constructed, repaired or rehabilitated by his ministry.

Some other bridges he named include the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, Murtala Mohammed Bridge in Koton Karfi and the Isaac Boro Bridge in Port Harcourt. Others include Chanchangi Bridge in Niger State and the Tambuwara Bridge in Kano.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Director, Public Relations, Boade Akinola, Fashola was quoted as saying, “This government in spite of very limited resources and having to borrow is simply doing almost the near impossible in terms of infrastructure.

“Mr President continues to give his support and commitment to infrastructure. His understanding of the purpose of infrastructure for growth and development is very clear.”

While inspecting the bridge with his counterparts from ministries of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed; and Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, George Akume, the Minister of Works said that the Loko-Oweto Bridge across River Benue provides a shorter route, cutting off about four to five hours.

Fashola stated that: “For someone coming from Cross River to Abuja by road, ordinarily he will have to go from Calabar to Ikom, Ogoja to Katsina-Ala and then join Markudi, then through Lafia, Keffi and Akwanga into Abuja. But now you have a bifurcation through Oweto to Nasarawa.”

On his part, Mohammed said it was the loans collected by the Federal Government that were being spent on the development of infrastructure such as roads and bridges.

He said, “Yes, we are taking loans. We are also making judicious use of the loans. And while these loans have a life span of 20 to 50 years, the roads we are constructing will have 50 to 60 years’ lifespan and outlive many of us.”
