Senior Officials of The Nigerian Presidency ,the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing and Construction giants ,Julius Berger Nigeria Plc may have compromised on the award of the second Niger Bridge project which was recently started.
In an investigations conducted on the matter by Paedia Express Multimdeia in Lagos,Nigeria ,a source told this reporter that he was stunned that a case of fraud is been perpetuated right in the full glare of Nigerians an nobody was asking questions.
He revealed that the bridge project by the same Julius Berger Nigeria Plc along the Lagos7Lekki axis in Lagos totaling a distance of 1.3 Kilometer  gulped a sum of N29billion  and wondered why the same company will  handle another project of 1.8kilometers ,about 0.5 metres gap from that of Lagos at over N100 billion if nothing was wrong.
He lamented that because The Presidency was using the project to lobby for a second term in office it is not likely that the people will be willing to probe so much on the matter as critical voices like his will be drowned in the ocean of sentiments .
