Nigerian govt sets new date for completion of Second Niger Bridge, blames sit-at-home order

Babatunde Raji Fashola, Minister of Works and Housing, has announced a new target date for the completion of the ongoing Second Niger Bridge in the south-eastern part of the country.

Fashola, announced the new date during a Channels Television’s interview, Sunrise Daily, on Wednesday.

The minister, however, blamed the slow work on the bridge on the sit-at-home order initiated by the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
