One thing I have learned is that many minds have been made up, so no matter what facts you bring up, they will continue believing what they want to believe.
So, here goes...
To me, the dates in that document were proof that I was right when I talked about no work ongoing at site when I visited in May.
As is their wont, assorted pro-government handles went on the attack.
They are doing what has been done by almost every government since the 1980s, and playing politics with the bridge.
Download quick before they put pressure on NSIA to delete it.
If they were sincere, 48 months from end of 2014 is end of 2018. WE SHOULD BE GETTING READY TO COMMISSION, not this noisemaking exercise.
That I got the impression that it was being used by his government to play politics, is one of the reasons I went against him.
So, why did 2NB stall? Buhari cancelled it because of "some errors". herald.ng/president-buha…
Of course, the usual excuse, "corruption". vanguardngr.com/2015/08/buhari…
For the record, I was the friend he referred to in the article.
So, why is this bridge so important to me?
When the government failed to include the 2NB in the 2016 budget, I received a lot of angry calls as I was known to be a supporter of this government.
The first bridge was constructed by Dumez, a French company, in 18 months between 1964 and 1965.
You think that if we were serious we won't have a bridge by now?
You guys are simply playing the same, worn-out, script, but more viciously. This bridge will not be built by the Buhari government.
THE END.
I had taken the liberty of uploading them elsewhere earlier.
