Users Call for Enhanced Security on Niger Bridge Reopening

The reopening of the first Niger Bridge, which connects Asaba in Delta State and Onitsha in Anambra State, has prompted users to call for increased security measures from the federal government. Transporter Musa Ibrahim noted that the bridge has improved transportation across the country and suggested that repairs, better road surfaces, and traffic management measures would enhance safety.

He recommended the installation of solar-powered streetlights and CCTV cameras for continuous monitoring. Trader Mrs. Ngozi Momoh expressed her gratitude for the project, despite recent travel difficulties from Auchi, Edo State to Onitsha.

She praised the government's performance and the creation of designated turnaround points for traffic management. Tricycle rider Ibrahim Tukur thanked the government for fixing the bridge but urged for efforts to reduce fuel prices.

A police traffic control officer, known as Non Stop, commended Minister of Works David Umahi for his teamwork and problem-solving skills, highlighting the positive impact of his leadership.
