Buhari to inaugurate key bridge, road before handing over, says Lai Mohammed

President Muhammadu Buhari is set to inaugurate more critical infrastructure before leaving office in May this year.

Among the new projects ready for the inauguration is the  Loko-Oweto Bridge over River Benue and the 74-kilometre Nasarawa-Loko Road linking Nasarawa and Benue states.

The Minister of Information Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who announced this at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, described the road and the bridge as game changers and economy-booster for the two states in particular and the nation in general.

Mohammed said: “The Administration is ready to deliver another dividend of democracy to Nigerians. As you are aware, the much-ballyhooed Second Niger Bridge has been completed and will soon be commissioned. Well, I am happy to announce today that another highly-valuable bridge and road are ready for commissioning in the next few weeks.
