It was an unfortunate situation that all of us woke up to the trending news of vandalization of some metal components on the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a massive investment put up by the Federal Government in order to ease movement of goods and services to Nigeria. To me, free movement is a basic human right and all of us must take collective responsibility to safeguard it<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have interfaced with the contractor handling the project, Julius Berger and it is really unfortunate. The Federal Government has actually done what it is supposed to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have written to security agencies concerned asking them to intensify surveillance activities along the road so that such things will not happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, host communities have a responsibility to play because safeguarding national asserts is not a responsibility of one man; it is a collective responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the miscreants are actually after, are the metal components on the bridge; anything metal, the miscreants are after it and it will be vandalized and at the end of the day, if care is not taken, the entire bridge will become unmotorable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why it is good for us as stakeholders to make sure we safeguard this infrastructure in the interest of public good and the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the delay in the completion of the project, he said: \u201cWe have interfaced with the contractor and he said the major challenge why the project is not completed is because of security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the recent development, we are hoping that all things being equal, that is the commitment he gave us, in the next three weeks, everything about the Second Niger Bridge will be completed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bridge is still under maintenance by the construction company that built it and before the handing over, l am sure that most of the things that were vandalized are going to be replaced.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government says it may have to shut down the bridge if
