The union gave the commendation in a communique it issued at the end of its monthly congress on Thursday in Calabar.
The communique, signed by the Chairman, Mr. Victor Udu and Secretary, Mr. Oka Ibor, said the timely completion of the bridge would enhance the movement of goods in the area.
“We commend the Federal Government for the completion of the Ikom Bridge. This will reduce the plight of commuters as the bridge serves as an evacuation corridor to the north-eastern part of the country, “it said.
