The long-abandoned Agba-Ndele–Abua Bridge, awarded during the administration of former Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, is now nearing completion after several years of neglect.
The strategic infrastructure project comprises a 1.2-kilometre approach road at Agba-Ndele and a 240-metre-long, 9.6-metre-wide concrete bridge linking Emuoha and Abua/Odual Local Government Areas of Rivers State.
For many years, the stalled project posed serious challenges to residents and commuters, limiting economic activities and access between the two local government areas. However, under the current administration, significant progress has been recorded, with construction work now almost completed.
Observers and community members have attributed the renewed momentum to the focused and deliberate intervention of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, whose administration prioritized the revival and completion of abandoned projects across the state.
When completed, the Agba-Ndele–Abua Bridge is expected to enhance connectivity, boost local commerce, and improve the overall socio-economic well-being of communities in Emuoha and Abua/Odual.
The project stands as another demonstration of how purposeful leadership and sustained commitment to infrastructure development can translate into tangible results for the people.
