The Federal Government has ordered the immediate installation of CCTV cameras and solar-powered streetlights on the First Niger Bridge to curb vandalism and theft of critical components of the infrastructure.
The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, gave the directive on Thursday during an on-the-spot inspection of the First and Second Niger bridges as part of his monitoring of ongoing construction works around the bridges.
Umahi expressed concern over the vandalism of bolts, expansion joints and iron bars holding the First Niger Bridge together, describing the development as dangerous.
