The Federal Government has warned that vandalisation and theft of fittings, if unchecked, might render the Second Niger Bridge unmotorable. The government subsequently called on security agencies to intensify surveillance on the infrastructure to curtail destructive activities of miscreants.

Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, Mahmuda Mamman, made the call when he visited the bridge to ascertain the level of the recent vandalisation of the metal components.

“This is a massive investment put up by the Federal Government to ease movement of goods and services in Nigeria. To me, free movement is a basic human right, and all of us must take collective responsibility to safeguard it. At the same time, the host communities, he said, have a responsibility to play because safeguarding national assets is not a responsibility of one man; it is a collective responsibility.
