Stakeholders in the South Eastern part of Nigeria said President Muhammadu Buhari will always be remembered for delivering the second Niger Bridge which he promised during his campaign.
Stakeholders while reacting to the commissioning of the bridge were optimistic that the bridge will be of immense value to the development of the South East and Nigeria at large.
Reacting to the development, an Industrialist, Chief Ebuka Onunkwo said that the second Niger Bridge will serve a great purpose in decongesting the first bridge and also improve commercial activities as people will not find it difficult to come into Anambra and other parts of the country.
He also commended the work Buhari led administration did on one section of Enugu – Onitsha expressway adding that if such tempo is maintained and upscaled, infrastructural decay will be a thing of the past in a near future.
He harped on the need for construction of roads that will connect the bridge to other major roads so as to maximize the full potential of the second Niger Bridge.
For the Chairman, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria MAN, South East covering, Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi, Lady Ada Chukwudozie, the project means a lot to manufacturers as it will improve the ease of doing business and encourage industrialization and investment within South East and called for good maintenance culture to enable the bridge last very long.
She thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for the promise kept and also commended the Government of Anambra and Delta States and the host communities for providing the enabling environment which led to timely delivery of the bridge.
