PROJECT BRIDGE RECEIVES $100 MILLION INVESTMENT FROM EBRD AND € 22 MILLION FROM EUROPEAN UNION
As we conclude the final leg of our Project BRIDGE Investment Tour in Europe this week, following several extremely positive engagements, I am pleased to confirm the formal approval by the Board of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development @EBRD to proceed with a $100 million investment in Project BRIDGE.
This investment comes in addition to the already approved $500 million financing from the @worldbankgroup for the Project.
Earlier this week, we also announced the signing of the European Union Digital Economy Package of €45 million which includes a € 22 million grant towards Project BRIDGE, as well as €18 million for Digital Public Services and €5 million to support our 3MTT Nigeria Programme.
These approvals are deeply reassuring as we reflect on the hard work and the air miles, across six countries in two weeks to secure the partnerships required to deploy 90,000km of fibre across Nigeria, delivering meaningful connectivity to all Nigerians.

One thing l've learnt in my small years of living is that people know what they are doing. They know how it affects you, they know how it would feel if it's done to them, they know.
we need to learn common basic life saving skills 🙏
(save, bookmark, share, memorize)
snake / scorpion bites
1. keep person calm and still
2. immobilize bitten limb
3. remove tight items (rings, watches)
4. go to hospital ASAP
DO NOT
1. cut the wound
2. suck venom
3. apply ice, heat, alcohol, herbs
4. use tourniquets
rule: panic spreads venom faster than blood.
CPR (unresponsive + not breathing)
1. call emergency services immediately
2. hands in center of chest
3. push hard and fast (100–120/min)
4. depth: ~5-6 cm (2 inches)
5. let chest fully rise each time
6. if untrained → hands only CPR
7. don’t stop until help arrives or person revives
remember: broken ribs heal but cardiac arrest doesn’t.
swimming / drowning emergencies
rescuing others:
1. reach (stick, towel)
2. throw (bottle, float)
3. don’t jump unless trained
if YOU are drowning:
1. roll onto your back
2. spread arms/legs
3. float → breathe → signal
after rescue:
1. check breathing
2. CPR if needed
3. hospital check even if fine
fire emergencies
in a burning building:
1. stay LOW (crawl)
2. cover nose/mouth
3. close doors behind you
4. never use elevators
clothes on fire:
STOP → DROP → ROLL
if trapped:
1. seal door gaps
2. signal from window
3. stay low and visible
broken bones / severe injury
1. immobilize as found
2. control bleeding
3. keep person warm
4. treat for shock
DO NOT
1. realign bones
2. force movement
3. emergency signs
4. bone visible
5. numbness
heavy bleeding
→ hospital immediately
universal rules:
- calm saves lives
- time >> perfection
- knowledge >> strength
don’t create a second victim 🙏
buena suerte
