The commissioning of the Ikom Bridge was part of a broader series of projects inaugurated on the same day. President Buhari unveiled a total of seven projects, which encompassed the commissioning of three federal secretariats, three bridges, and a road. The commitment to multiple infrastructure initiatives underlines the government’s dedication to promoting development across various sectors.
The newly commissioned Ikom Bridge is strategically located on a major South-North highway. President Buhari affirmed that the project would effectively reduce poverty levels in the state, particularly due to its connectivity with Benue State and other regions across the nation. Furthermore, the bridge’s construction facilitates shorter routes and addresses multidimensional poverty concerns, contributing to overall socio-economic development.
