Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige disclosed that the Federal Government is working towards completing the second Niger Bridge by 2022.
He said 75 per cent of the work had been done.
According to Ngige, the Southeast has never had it so good from the Federal Government.
In a recent interview, the former Senator said President Muhammadu Buhari was determined to leave a lasting legacy for the Igbo.
Ahead of next year’s governorship election in Anambra, Ngige said the All Progressives Congress (APC) would find a credible person to replace Governor Willie Obiano.
The former Anambra governor said consultations were on to get an industrious candidate who can take the state to the next level.
Ngige, who represented Anambra Central at the Senate, said APC was looking towards the Central and South senatorial zones for a credible candidate to fly the party’s flag in 2021.
He maintained that no government in the state matched his administration’s achievements within 33 months.
To him, the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has failed the state. He said having disappointed the people, it was time for APC to take over from APGA.
