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.

[s]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.[/s]

If u look at construction of lagos ibandan rail line. You would notice that most of the workers are blacks, mostly Yoruba's.

But come to the 2nd Niger bridge from what I have read they say they use labour force from other regions, north and west in particular. While the indegenes are in a minority. According to local content law it should not be so.

They are nor asking for what is not there's all they ask is the company do what is right.

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.

It's never a bad thing to demand for entitlement or project...
They have lots of qualified engineers doing nothing cause of the way our country is and lot of graduated doing nothing...
Since this project is loud they can be employed cause it's their title... Don't be mislead...
Example is River State, Wike have out a project to Julius Berger for the construction of 3 flyovers and publicly told the engineers that he paid them in rainy season that he will not like to hear that rain stopped work and again that he should give work to rivers people and not jam-packing them with Lagos people....
So it's Anambra's right to demand for such okay

Buhari should focus on Sw than Se

You sabi my people too much.

All these steel and concrete means nothing of value to them. When they heard the bridge will cost 2billion naira their mind started working on how to share the money.

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 LC chairmen that need serious beating.

That's the problem with the Igbos and people from SS. Entitlement mentality. We haven't heard of communities along Lagos Ibadan express way or those affected by the new Lagos Ibadan Kano rail line, making demands from the FG or contractors. But no, my people choose to be foolish.
