Fashola takes tour of projects in Southeast, confirms second Niger Bridge project is still at 30% completion level
Fashola also revealed that the Second Niger Bridge will be completed in the year 2022.
Whilst going around the sites, the Minister interacted with workers who were full of appreciation to the administration of President Buhari for the opportunity to work and earn a living rather than going into crime. Mr. Sunday Etikwu, a mason at one of the National Housing Programme sites who was visibly excited said he received a daily pay of N4,500 naira and works all through the week.
Fashola said the end product maybe constructing a road or building a housing estate but the human capacity is enhanced through drains being laid, electric fittings being installed, foundations being dug, blocks being molded and food being supplied, thereby providing employment and boosting the economy as well as the living standard of the community and its environs.
He further said it was a far sighted vision by the state government to open up the community, but was still expectant on their commitment to open up more roads as it would take some time for the Isiagwu community to come alive.
