The Second Niger Bridge has been named after President Muhammadu Buhari, according to Federal Government.
This was revealed by the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, while briefing the press after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja recently.
The Minister said, “And because my colleagues in cabinet and the governors of the South-East who have spoken to me have decided that the Second Niger Bridge must have a name, in consultation with them, we have decided we would also declare open the Muhammadu Buhari Second Niger Bridge linking Anambra State and Delta.”
Similarly, the Director (Digital) media and publicity to the President, Bashir Ahmad, also said the bridge shall be identified as the President’s name.
“The Second Niger Bridge is to officially be called/known as Buhari Second Niger Bridge,” he tweeted via his handle, @BashirAhmaad.
