Mr President to perform the ground breaking ceremony of the second Niger bridge

Today, as I perform the Ground Breaking Ceremony
of the Second Niger Bridge, I am fulfilling a promise I
made to all Nigerians and more specifically to the
people of the Southeast that the Federal Government
will ensure that another bridge linking the Southeast
to other geo-political regions is built. The impact of
this bridge is beyond economics and commerce.
This bridge, when completed, will strengthen the
Handshake Across the Niger and promote
integration amongst the people of Nigeria. Building
bridges, and not just physical ones, is something
every Nigerian should be engaged in and this
administration has taken extra ordinary measures,
including the convocation of a National Conference
amongst our people, to ensure that just as the
physical bridges are being constructed, Nigerians
from all geo-political zones can construct new
bridges of friendship even as we strengthen old
ones. GEJ
