The Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo on Friday reassured the people of South East and South-South geopolitical zones that the Federal Government would complete the second Niger Bridge on schedule.
The VP stated this during a one-day visit to Anambra State to launch the second phase of TraderMoni, a federal government micro-credit scheme for petty traders.
He said,”We want to make sure that we complete it because of its economic benefit to the zone and the entire country. He added, “As a matter of fact, we visited a lady in Awka, one of the cooks, who happened to be the best cook of the programme in the community.” He said the scheme would encourage the culture of repayment of loans and ensure the prosperity of traders.
