The Nigerian Government has begun installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) and solar lights on third Mainland Bridge
One of Africa’s longest bridges has been under repairs for weeks, causing gridlock to motorists and other road users.
While it has been billed to reopen in the coming days, Works Minister David Umahi said part of the repair work includes the installation of CCTV to combat crime and illegal mining around the bridge.
“Mr President has released the money and I can say that 99 per cent of the project is done. But what is to be done is additional work: we are putting up solar lights; we are replacing the generator lights with solar lights
The former Ebonyi State governor also says President Bola Tinubu’s government is on the right track, expressing optimism that he will be re-elected as Nigeria’s leader in 2027.
