The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has said the First Niger Bridge will not be reopened until the major repair work on the bridge is completed.
Umahi made this statement on Wednesday when he visited the Onitsha Bridge Head to inspect the ongoing rehabilitation work.
He said the Federal Government would not rush to reopen the bridge while important structural works were still being carried out.

The bridge was closed after some of its structural parts, including bolts, nuts and parts of the expansion-joint steelwork, were found to have been vandalised.
The closure was earlier expected to end on September 21, but it has been extended by one week because of the continued rainfall, which has affected the repair work.
Umahi said the bridge would only be reopened after the major structural work has been properly completed.

If you're not worried, I'm worried for Nigeria. My heart is pained daily as I read about Nigeria through the different media outlets. There are Nigerians in almost all countries of the world. In the middle East, North and South America, Europe, and Asia, Nigerians are spread in all the countries of these continents. But one thing is common, only a handful of these Nigerians are earning a decent living without involving in criminal activities.

I just did a quick research on South Africa. For days or weeks I've been wondering what's special about South Africa that almost every African country has their nationals in South Africa more than any other country in the African continent. My instinct was telling me that there's something special that's attracting people from other African countries, especially Nigeria and Ghana, to South Africa.

Sometimes, when I look at Nigeria today, I remember old songs from African China and Eedris Abdulkareem. Back then, people thought they were just making music. But now, it feels like they were actually talking about the country we are living in today.
