The Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen, on Monday in Abuja said the construction of the second Niger Bridge would begin in September.
River Nigr Bridge, Onitsha  
Onolememen stated this when Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, paid him a courtesy visit in his office, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
According to him, the procedure for the project began in December 2011 and would involve a hybrid between Public Private Partnership and the usual government contract.
The minister said the concessionaires for the project would soon be announced by the Federal Government.
“In the next three weeks, we would announce the concessioners to handle the project; and by the last quarter of 2012 to 2013, they will move to site to start ground-breaking,” he said.
The minister said 30 per cent of the project would be funded by the Federal Government while the remaining 70 per cent would be handled by private investors.
Onolememen assured the governor that the ongoing Onitsha-Owerri dual carriage way would be completed by 2013.
He thanked the governor for his contribution to the completion of critical infrastructure in the South-East zone.
The minister commended the state government for the rehabilitation of the Onitsha-Owerri road, an alternative route to the South-East, to ease hardship encountered by motorists.
Onolememen pledged the Federal Government’s support for infrastructure development in the state and all parts of the country.
Earlier, Obi had commended the Federal Government on road reforms and called for more collaboration with states in roads construction, to enhance social and economic activities in the country.
