Ever wondered how people traveled across the River Niger before the Niger Bridge was constructed? That is when crossing from Onitsha to Asaba and vice versa. Then, the Asaba-Onitsha ferry transport was used to transport people across the River Niger. This was prior to the construction of the famous Onitsha Bridge in 1965.
