The government is intensifying security measures on Lagos’ Third Mainland Bridge as part of its ongoing repair efforts, including the installment of closed-circuit television (CCTV) and solar-powered lights.
This lengthy bridge, a key transportation artery, has been undergoing maintenance for weeks, causing significant traffic disruptions.
While the reopening of the bridge is imminent, Works Minister David Umahi outlined that the repair work encompasses not only structural rehabilitation but also additional enhancements to address security concerns, such as the installation of CCTV cameras to deter criminal activities and unauthorized mining in the vicinity.
Umahi emphasized the substantial progress made in the project, noting that a significant portion of the work has been completed, thanks to funding provided by the President. He also highlighted the adoption of solar lighting systems to replace conventional generator-powered lights, aimed at promoting sustainability and efficiency.
Meanwhile, Umahi expressed confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, foreseeing his reelection in 2027. He attributed this conviction to what he believes is a divine mandate, asserting that the current administration is driven by divine inspiration to rectify past shortcomings and restore the nation’s prosperity.
In essence, Umahi underscored the significance of ongoing infrastructure improvements and expressed unwavering faith in the transformative vision of the current administration under President Tinubu’s stewardship, viewing it as a divine intervention aimed at uplifting Nigeria and its citizens.
