The Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) says it is confident the Second Niger Bridge would be completed by 2022.
This was disclosed by Uche Orji, NSIA’s Managing Director, at the weekly State House media briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team on Thursday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
Orji recalled that the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF), managed by NSIA, was set up in 2018 with the aim of finalizing projects that were experiencing financing delays. The projects include the Second Niger Bridge, Abuja-Kaduna-Kano, Lagos-Ibadan Expressways and the Mambilla Hydro-power project.
“PIDF was set up as a mechanism that takes government contribution, NSIA contribution, and opens the door for investors to come in as a way to make sure that we finish these projects on time and the progress has been quite impressive in the last three years of the PIDF being set up.
The minister said this during the ministerial briefing by the Presidential Communications Team at the presidential villa in Abuja on Friday, July 2, 2021. He said the frequent theft of railway clips costs the country huge sums of dollars to replace, adding that the act is capable of causing derailment and killing passengers. Amaechi said,
