NSIA manages the funds and the money I told you President Buhari has recovered that was stolen from Nigeria. So, it is government money so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNSIA is talking to some investors who want to bring money, but they have not brought it. Invariably they will, and we expect that they will, and invariably we\u2019ll extend to them concessions for better management but that is further down the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also debunked claims that the Second Niger Bridge was fully funded by the previous administration.<\/p>\n<p>Fashola also said the energy crisis in the country is affecting work on the projects as prices of petroleum products have increased.<\/p>\n<p>He said the cost of transportation of materials has also increased, adding that food prices at construction sites across the country have also gone up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re probably also feeling it at home too on your table,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are extremely globally challenging times, but for me, challenges are the reasons why governments exist<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of works and housing, Babatunde Fashola has disclosed that the Second Niger Bridge has reached 91 percent completion rate.
