Nigeria's Minister of Works Umahi Demolishes Concrete Barrier on Niger Bridge After Public Outcry
Minister of Works Dave Umahi has ordered the demolition of the concrete divider recently installed on the First Niger Bridge after widespread public complaints.
The old bridge connecting Onitsha and Asaba was closed earlier in September 2026 for emergency repairs after vandals removed key bolts, nuts, and expansion joints. During the repairs, workers installed a central concrete barrier to separate traffic.
Motorists, engineers, and netizens immediately raised concerns, saying the 1965 bridge is already narrow and the divider made the lanes dangerously tight. Many warned that a single vehicle breakdown could block the entire bridge and add unnecessary weight to the aging structure.
Videos now circulating online show workers breaking down the barrier on Umahi’s orders.
Don't mind them and their eye service. Once election is approaching,they will start working in order to confuse people to vote them again. Umahi who send you message to divide the road? Bridge commuters have been managing,you went there to do rubbish. Though shaa I'm glad that you listened to the voice of warning.
