The bridge which is worth over $44 million, has two lanes and is located at the Nigeria-Cameroon border at Mfum community in Etung local government area of Cross River and Ekok community on the side of Cameroon.

Also inaugurated is a joint border post at Mfum community in Etung local government area in Cross River.

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Amb. Zubairu Dada, represented President Muhammadu Buhari, while President Paul Biya of Cameroon was represented by the Minister of Public Works, Mr Emmanuel Njoumessi.

Speaking, Buhari said that the project was a visible testament of the cooperation and neighbourliness between both countries.

He added that the project will enhance trade and strengthen relationship
between both countries.

“This project is part of the ongoing Nigeria/Cameroon multinational highway facilitation programme.

“This bridge and post are proves that when African countries work together with African institutions, outstanding projects can be achieved in record time.

“This project has the potential to enhance economic activities within our region and also facilitate the free movement of persons, goods and services within the countries along the corridor,” he said.

On his part, the Cameroonian President said the project illustrates the confidence between both countries.

“The construction of the bridge over Cross River is part of the transport facilitation programme on the Bamenda-Mamfe-Abakaliki-Enugu corridor.

“The corridor covers 441 km of road and will contribute to facilitate trade and strengthen relations between Cameroon and Nigeria.

“Today, the Bamenda-Enugu corridor is fully tarred and one can comfortable drive from Bamenda to Enugu or from Yaounde to Abuja to cover 1100 km or do his business on either side,” he said.

He added that Cameroon on its part will undertake any initiative that will maintain serenity in it’s border relationship with Nigeria.

On his part, Mr Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Works, who said they have delivered on the project, acknowledged all those who took part in making the project possible.

“This bridge is part of route 8, it is not just connecting Nigeria and Cameroon but we are trying to connect Lagos to Mombasa in Kenya which is the significance of the bridge,” he said.
