FG approves Third Mainland Bridge maintenance N6bn.

The Federal Government on Wednesday April 12, approved N6.28bn for surface maintenance of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, stated this while briefing State House correspondents after this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting at the Presidential Villa.

He said the move aligns with Executive Order 11 signed by the President Muhammadu, in April 2022, which gave legal backing to the country’s national maintenance policy.

Fashola also revealed that the 24-month repair will cover 11 kilometres, including interchanges, ramps, and critical links on the Third Mainland Bridge.

The announcement comes barely two weeks after the Lagos State Government said it would undertake rehabilitation works on the 32-year-old bridge to repair failed and peeled asphaltic sections and substructure.

“Council approved a fresh contract for the maintenance of the pavement of the third mainland bridge and this was approved in the sum of N6.28 billion for a period of 24 months.

“I have been asked about the works that have been done on the bridge before. The works are concentrating largely on the substructure of the bridge; the underwater piles, the pile caps, and also the replacement of the expansion joints and the bearings.

“These are maintenance works that are critical to the structural integrity of the bridge.” What we’re dealing with now is different. It is the driving surface and also the aesthetics. Some of the rails have been stolen. “Some of the pleats are misaligned at the routes that lead you on and off the bridge.”

Fashola added that there are no anticipated prolonged closures during the works

Saudi Arabia's marriage law prohibits couples that are not married from living together. The report added that Ronaldo and Rodriguez will be living together in Saudi Arabia and are most likely not going to be punished for breaking the law.

We will establish more Passport Offices in Nigeria and abroad by February next year - FG

Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, has said that the Federal Government has plans to ensure that several passport offices are opened around the country, as well as abroad, so that there will be easy collection of passports for Nigerians at home and in diaspora. Tunji-Ojo, said that the creation of multiple offices will make it easier to process passport requests and will reduce the demand of passports, and will in turn, reduce the corruption in which people exploit Nigerians in order to get passports for them. “On the issue of Nigerians in diaspora, we are working very hard on that. I will tell you the major problem. The major problem with diaspora is I will give you an example of Canada… Canada is the second biggest nation on earth in terms of land mass, only second to Russia. Now, Canada has only one passport office, that is unacceptable. And of course, government might not be able to afford creating passport offices all over and whatever, but we have to look at
