The federal government has started building a 17.5-kilometer dual carriageway to improve access to the Second Niger Bridge.
The ceremonial ground-breaking occurred on Monday, marking considerable advancement in tackling the area’s transport issues.
At the event, President Bola Tinubu was represented by Delta State Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, who underscored their commitment to enhancing road infrastructure, ensuring public safety, and boosting trade and economic activities across Nigeria.
The inauguration of the Second Niger Bridge for public use in December 2022 was a crucial milestone in improving connectivity between the Southeast region and other parts of Nigeria.
President Tinubu stated that this bridge is a significant infrastructural development essential for connecting the Asaba-Benin and Onitsha-Enugu dual carriageways, which are vital highways in Nigeria.
He emphasized that the access road initiative highlights the government’s dedication to promoting infrastructure advancement and boosting economic progress.
“A strong and adaptable economy depends on up-to-date infrastructure, improved public facilities, and enhanced social services,” he noted.
The President additionally pointed out that advanced transportation systems improve mobility, generate employment prospects, boost tourism, ease the circulation of products and services, and raise general quality of life.
Highlighting the significance of investing in infrastructure, Tinubu pointed out that governments across the globe acknowledge the necessity of strong infrastructures to foster economic and industrial growth.
He admitted that Nigeria’s present infrastructure falls short of its development goals and restated the administration’s commitment to upgrade highways, rail systems, and water routes under the New Hope Initiative.
Upon launching the initiative formally, President Tinubu praised the Delta and Anambra state administrations for working together effectively.
He requested patience and collaboration from drivers throughout the construction phase, guaranteeing that the contractors have the competence to finish the work punctually and with top-quality outcomes.
During his introductory speech, Governor Oborevwori praised President Tinubu’s commitment to developing infrastructure throughout Nigeria.
He pointed out the concurrent launch of the Benin-Asapa Expressway rehabilitation project, highlighting the key significance of these initiatives for enhancing regional connections and boosting trade.
“These infrastructure advancements are crucial for enhancing trade and economic activities. On behalf of the residents of Delta State, I express our sincere appreciation to the President for his outstanding leadership and dedication to revitalizing infrastructure,” said Oborevwori.
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, commended Governor Oborevwori for his commitment to sustaining tranquility and fostering development within Delta State.
He recognized the state government’s efforts as crucial additions to the federal highway upgrades, substantially lightening the load on the federal administration.
“Your commitment to the well-being of your constituents and your remarkable initiatives showcase your forward-thinking leadership. Delta State has transformed into a bustling hub of activity, and I am pleased with the continuous progress,” noted Umahi.
Engineer Olufunsho Adebiyi, who serves as the Permanent Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Works, stated that the new access road will establish an essential transport connection between Delta State and Anambra State.
