The Asagba of Asaba, Prof Epiphany Azinge, a first class monarch in the South South has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his giant strides in infrastructural development in Nigeria, especially in the South-South region.
The Asagba while speaking during the reopening of the First Niger Bridge, 38 days after reconstruction, applauded President Tinubu and his Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi for keeping to their words of developing the South South and connecting the region to other parts of the nation through bold and decisive infrastructural steps.
He commended the Minister of Works for the great achievements on road construction across Nigeria.
Prof Azinge described the just-concluded maintenance work on the First Niger Bridge as the second and most comprehensive intervention so far on the bridge.
He said the work shows the commitment of President Tinubu’s administration to strengthen the bridge which links the South-South and South-East.
The Asagba of Asaba said the massive maintenance is a catalyst for more projects. While declaring support for Tinubu, he noted that work is still ongoing on the Asaba-Benin expressway.
He urged the Minister to ensure speedy completion of the expressway with the same dispatch demonstrated on the Niger Bridge, adding that the projects are a clear expression of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
