The Minister of Works and Housing, BABATUNDE FASHOLA, has said the Federal Government is constructing, repairing and rehabilitating a total of 40 major bridges across the country.

FASHOLA, who stated this while inspecting the Loko-Oweto Bridge, said the work on the bridges were ongoing despite the limited revenue of the Federal Government.

The minister said apart from the Loko-Oweto bridge project, work was ongoing on the Second Niger Bridge, the Ikom Bridge and 37 other bridges in Nigeria, which were being constructed, repaired or rehabilitated by his ministry.

FASHOLA said the government in spite of very limited resources and having to borrow is simply doing almost the near impossible in terms of infrastructure.
