The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola says the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) contributed immensely to the seeming delay in completion of the Second Niger Bridge project.
According to him, while construction workers work on Saturdays, a 52-day loss cannot easily be made up for in construction work.
The minister further asserted that certain other challenges liken relocating transmission lines connecting the East to the West across the Niger River, contributed to days lost and added to the snag that affected the early completion of the bridge within the time earlier stipulated.
