You actually said well, but the cost that you wrote is for the second Niger Bridge not for the first.
Try to be more certain tomorrow.
The river Niger bridge was constructed in 1966.
The company that constructed it was the Dumez group,a french construction company.
And it cost about 17 million dollars.(£12 million)
Nice one guy
But the bridge was not built in 1966 and the cost of construction is much lower than £12m.
1The River Niger Bridge at Onitsha was constructed between 1964 and 1965 by Dumez- a French construction company and cost £5 million.
You actually did well but you’re wrong with the cost of building the bridge. It is not £5m.
Something much higher.

Mungo Park
In 1795 Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer discovered River Niger and the a theory about the origin of the river’s name is that it comes from the Tuareg n’eghirren meaning ‘flowing water.
River Niger Bridge was built in 1964-1965. It is notable as the link between South-Eastern Nigeria and Western Nigeria. Built by Dumez, the French construction giant but During the Nigerian Civil War of 1967 – 1970, in an attempt to halt the Nigerian military advance, retreating Biafran soldiers destroyed the River Niger Bridge at Onitsha, trapping the Nigerians on the other side of the river.
The Second Niger bridge is a Nigerian Federal Government project,
The bridge was to be financed under a public private partnership (PPP) with 60 per cent of the funding coming from the contractor, Gitto Group; 20 per cent from the Federal Government of Nigeria, and 10 per cent from the Anambra and Delta State Governments.
This second bridge started September 1,2018 And it’s said to be open on May 15, 2023, The construction cost N336 Billion 🙄
You are absolutely right, but you never mentioned the cost of construction for the first Niger Bridge, you only mentioned the cost for the 2nd Niger Bridge.
I don’t know but I’m learning from people’s answers
Omoooh
I go try answer this question tomorrow.
