Second Niger Bridge Suffer Setback As Host Communities Demand For "Entitlements" by seunfly: 5:03am On Oct 21, 2019 |
Work stopped at the site because communities are demanding projects worth N500 million, while workers are seeking promotion and increase in allowances. The Controller, Federal Ministry of Works in Anambra State, Adeyemo Ajani, has said the second Niger bridge may suffer a serious setback if the government does not intervene urgently in the crisis between the contractors and host communities as well as workers. Ajani, in an interview with Daily Trust, said work had stopped on the second Niger bridge and if there is no quick intervention, it might affect the scheduled date of completion. According to him, work stopped at the site because communities are demanding projects worth N500 million, while workers are seeking promotion and increase in allowances. The controller added that the project did not have any issues in terms of funding, but that the communities were trying to delay its completion. Some communities from Anambra and Delta states stopped work at the site, alleging that the project manager "has not given them their dues". Ajani, said, ‘‘Each community is demanding a project worth N50 million and by the time it is calculated, it will amount to N500 million. Where can such money come from? "Even the Works Tender Board cannot approve that kind of money. It is only the government that can address it and that is why we are seeking its intervention”. He noted that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the communities and the contractors had yet to be signed due to the demands. http://saharareporters.com/2019/09/27/second-niger-bridge-may-suffer-setback-due-host-communities-demand-entitlements-federal 2 Shares

Don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Whatever sacrifice to make to enable the project's completion should be made. Don't lose on the altar of selfishness. 72 Likes 4 Shares |

Igbos are not really interested in that bridge, they will prefer to be using it as a political demand and blackmail so building it will just kill one of their blackmail They prefer you share the money for that bridge to them. 203 Likes 17 Shares |

MetaPhysical: That is the truth. To an average Igbo, if there is no money to be shared, he or she is not interested. Igbos actually coined the PDP slogan “PDP !!! Share the Money!!” That is why up till today, majority of them still deny the existence of the bridge because they simply don’t want it done 76 Likes 6 Shares |

The 2 State Governors of Anambra and Delta along with the Ministry of Works should be swift on this. This project is far bigger than these communities. Because of Nigeria factor, something should be given to the communities, but it should be treated as a gift not a demand. Left for me not even a Kobo. 44 Likes 6 Shares |

What entitlement is more than building a community developmental infrastructure? I weep for the easterners. In fact, president Buhari should withdraw the project and site it in states that are serious about development. Who the gods want to destroy, they first make him mad. 66 Likes 6 Shares |

Lies I guess... I guess this people just dish out lies to cover their uselessness... The host commitment to entitlement makes the project suffers. But no matter the number of people voting in the community it can never affect the election result.... What happened to python dance,the community is more powerful abi... When I'm not willing to go to church,I give any excuse... Good morning Nigerians. Good morning APC. Good morning PDP. My country people, why we're still at it fighting Buhari,let's not forget there're councillors and LG chairmen that need serious beating. 25 Likes 4 Shares |

I know this lies & slandering will come up as long as it concerns development in the SE/SS region. What is happening to the Niger bridge is what is also happening to the Ogoni clean-up & the East West road etc. But when it concerns taking oil from the Niger delta by the parasitic regions,they will deploy all the military apparatus & might to destroy any uprising or dissenting voice. e.g Ken saro wiwa. 29 Likes 6 Shares |
