Nigeria’s Lagos State Government has completed the Lekki-Ikoyi suspension bridge and it touts it not just Nigeria’s but sub-Saharan Africa’s first.
The bridge, though 1.358km long did not come cheap. It cost about N29 billion, almost $184.6million.
The link bridge will soon be formally commissioned by Governor Babatunde Fashola and a toll will be collected to recoup the investment.
