Minister of Works, Dave
Umahi, has said rehabilitating the Third Mainland and Carter bridges in Lagos
will cost N21 billion and 25 billion, respectively.
Umahi disclosed this
during a tour of key infrastructure projects in Lagos with the National
Assembly Joint Committee on Works.
The Minister said there
is a need to declare an emergency on the two bridges to avert a reconstruction
cost of N6 trillion.
He warned of the
substantial financial and safety risks posed by continued delays of the
rehabilitation works.
