The Nigerian government reopens the bridge of independence in Lagos

The federal government has reopened the independence bridge (Ahmadu Bello Way-Marina bound) to vehicle traffic.

The Minister of Work, Dave Umahi, announced this in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Federal Karya controller in Lagos, Ny. Olukorede Kesha.

The government has announced the closure of the bridge starting from April 1 for important maintenance and rehabilitation work.

It remained closed until May.
