The Federal Government has temporarily opened the Bodo–Bonny Road to facilitate smoother transportation for residents during the yuletide.
The President, who was represented by the Minister of Works, David Umahi, at the temporary opening of the road to ease transportation for residents in the communities along the route during the yuletide festivities, said the road had been a long journey with delays and challenges along the way, but through the patience and cooperation of the community, its construction finally reached this important milestone, and the contractor has continued to do a beautiful job here.
He hailed Julius Berger Nigeria Plc for the extent and quality of work done on the 35.7 km Bodo-Bonny Road project, noting that at the end of the job, Nigerians will be proud and feel safer to ply the legacy road.
On the reason for the temporary opening of the road, the President said, “I want to see a different festive mood there. The mood within the Bodo and the Kingdom of Bonny, and he directed me to come here with the National Assembly members, and of course, with the state government and the good people of Bodo and Bonny to temporarily open this route for the good use of Nigerians.”
