He added, “The bridge was only 35 percent executed when Governor Udom Emmanuel took over office in 2015. The governor in 2018 had to get a contractor that specializes in Bridge construction – AMITEC.
“Now, this project is completed. Former president Goodluck Jonathan will commission this bridge on Monday 16 January 2023”. He stated that the bridge had both social and economic impacts on residents of the area as they would carry their goods which were mainly seafoods to different parts of the state.
The governor’s aide, flanked by his colleagues, Aniefiok Macauley and Engr. Solomon Eyo, said that Emmanuel refused to play politics with projects, hence his decision to complete the project. “In other climes, Governors declare public holidays to commission mere 1km roads, but here Governor Emmanuel has silently completed a bridge as long as this, on a 19km road,” Essien said.All rights reserved.
