NigeriaNews.Ca: During\u00a0the flag-off of the governorship campaign of the All Progressives Congress in Onitsha area of Anambra State, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo restated the commitment of the Federal Government in completing the second Nigeria Bridge in the South East.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He made this known\u00a0 adding that $2bn has been paid for the project.<\/p>\n

In his words,\u00a0 \u201cwe are not making promises for nothing. The second Niger Bridge, we have been talking about it for a long time. But for the first time, President Muhammadu Buhari went by himself to negotiate the facility to do that second Niger Bridge,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that is why the second Niger Bridge is in our current budget and we have provided for it. In fact, just two days ago, the Sovereign Wealth Fund paid $2bn for that same project. So we will definitely see our second Niger Bridge. We will not make promises we cannot keep.\u201d<\/p>\n

The VP\u00a0went on to claim that the previous administrations abandoned the Lagos-Calabar railway project, stressing that it has been revived under the APC-led Federal Government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were talking of railway, Lagos-Calabar railway, under the old administration, I will not mention them by name.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said Lagos-Calabar will go from Lagos to Calabar, there was no connection to the South-East. It was when President Muhammadu Buhari came that we redesigned the Lagos-Calabar in order to pass through Onitsha in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy that new design, we also have the Port Harcourt-Maiduguri railway that has a connection to Umuahia-Owerri and Enugu-Awka. So all of those, we will not make promises we cannot keep. Every promise we make, we will keep,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Speaking further, Mr Osinbajo also stresses that Anambra was the first state to benefit from the school feeding initiative that has employed over a thousand cooks and fed over a hundred thousand.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThis state was the first state to receive our home-grown school feeding. This Anambra was the very first state that we gave money for that programme. And we have already in 807 schools, here in Anambra state where these young children (primary schools) are already fed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have over a hundred thousand children that are already fed here in Anambra state, and that is an APC programme, our home-grown school feeding programme. We have engaged over a thousand cooks, over a thousand people are cooking. We have our N-Power programme for young graduates. Already we have employed over 4,000 graduates and we intend to increase the number.<\/p>\n
