AfahaAbia: What are your requirements for intending distributors? Putting them here would save time, as those who cannot meet them will not bother to apply. |

DesChyko: Yes, you did. The 2nd Niger Bridge cost ₦336 billion to build. The project was funded through the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) created by ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, and managed by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA). . 1 Like 1 Share |

Urheadmaster: Your perspective is certainly "out of the box". How on earth you saw an insinuation that "nothing good comes out of military regime" up there is utterly baffling. |

NaijaphiliaBlog: If only bridges could talk, imagine with what tales the 1st Niger Bridge would regale us! ...of a prime minister cut down in his prime, just weeks after commissioning the bridge, of merchants scurrying frenetically to and fro, buying goods from Eko to sell across the Niger, of an internecine war that took millions of innocent souls, of the bridge's bombing in 1968 during the war, of jackboots trampling across to scuttle the people's democratic aspirations, of democracy restored and hope renewed, and finally, of a concrete interloper rising from the waters to take the shine off its greyed glory. 1 Like 1 Share
