Engineer’s representative for the second Niger Bridge, Seyi Martins, has condemned removal of road fittings from by vandals.

He also attributed low usage of the bridge to security challenges facing the region, stressing that the experts’ mandate was to construct the bridge to decongest traffic.

Speaking with reporters in Onitsha yesterday, Martins assured that the federal government would beef up security around the bridge to protect it from further vandalism.

He said,

“It is true that the bridge was vandalised. Those fittings will surely be replaced. It is an important national asset that should be protected by all.

“We have contacted all the security agencies and we will beef security around the bridge and on the bridge.

“People have cried for this bridge for decades, now they have the second Niger Bridge, just a month after it was inaugurated, they vandalised it, I think something is wrong somewhere.

“This bridge will be beneficial to everybody. The vandalism on the bridge is unacceptable. It is not in the interest of the larger community as the profit from the vandalization is just for a moment.

“The effect of the destruction will be for a very long time, because at the end of the day they will also suffer the consequences, so it is better not to vandalise public property, it belongs to you and I.”
