The Vice President’s Spokesman, Laolu Akande, has clarified the error in the publications credited to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on release of fund for construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge.

The clarification on Tuesday came as some media quoted Osinbajo as announcing $2 billion instead of N2 billion for the project.

A chieftain of the party, Chief Bisi Akande stated that “Please note, that the sum provided for the second Niger bridge is actually two billion naira (N2 billion),’’

He stated that it was also pertinent to state that the highlight of the rally and Osinbajo’s remarks was the commitment of the administration to improve the country’s transportation network and economy.

“The APC government is a government that will do everything it has promised. We 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, the President went by himself to negotiate the facility to do that second Niger Bridge.

“That is why the second Niger Bridge is in our current budget and we have provided for it,” Akande said.
