A few days ago, some travelers heading to the South-Eastern part of Nigeria reported an ongoing development on the popular Niger Bridge. This led to a plethora of suggestions from commuters and bystanders.
We didn`t want to miss out on the fun, so here are our own speculations:
Another Gate Maybe?
Sometime in May, while the interstate travel ban was in place, travelers were reported to be stranded at the Niger Bridge as a gate had suddenly appeared on the once free-to-pass bridge to prevent people looking to flout the law. While pictures suggest the new construction on the bridge is different, we can`t rule out the possibility of another gate or maybe a smaller one.
A Safety Equipment Installation
The lockdown might be over, but CoronaVirus is still spreading. With the way the new construction looks, we think the State Government might be working on a temperature check device that can detect commuters with fever-like readings. Seems far-fetched, but will definitely get the tag of either ultra-modern or state-of-the-art during its unveiling.
Another Brand Marketing Initiative
The Niger Bridge is a brand delight, as time and again, the bridge has been used to show off new campaigns from them, especially those predominant in the South-East. It will not be a far cry for some southeastern brand to be plotting a huge campaign with these constructions.
2020 has been a roller coaster year, and it will be interesting to see how this development unfolds.
