The Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has
flagged off the construction of the N120bn Bonny-Bodo Road in a ground-breaking
ceremony in Bonny, Rivers State....
In a brief speech at the ceremony, the Vice
President said that the flag off of the 40- kiliometre project demonstrated the
Federal Government’s commitment to the development of the Niger Delta region.
The project which is jointly funded by the Federal Government and the Nigerian
Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) would provide alternative route to assessing the
Riverrine town of Bonny. According to the terms of the agreement signed
earlier, the Federal Government and the NLNG would contribute N60billion each
to construct the road which is expected to be completed in four years. Earlier,
the Vice President was welcomed to the state by Senator Magnus Ngei Abe,
representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
The Senator, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt and signed by his
spokesman, Parry Saroh Benson, stated that the commitment of the Federal
Government to the completion of the Bodo-Bonny Road was praise worthy. Senator
Abe said that the project showed that the Buhari-led administration was
committed to the development of the Niger Delta region. He said: “This is Professor
Osinbajo’s second visit to flag-off projects in Rivers State in the last three
months. It goes a long way to show the effort and commitment of the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to the development of the Niger Delta.”
