In the meantime, Works and Housing Minister Babatunde Fashola yesterday blamed the delay in the completion of the Second Niger Bridge on the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The minister said the Monday sit-at-home directive of the separatist group prevented the contractor handling the project to work for days in the past two years.
Fashola said the project, earlier scheduled for inauguration in October 2022, may now be completed between April and May next year.
