Minister of Works David Umahi has reiterated the commitment of the Federal Government under the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu to completing the Abuja- Kaduna-Katsina- Kano Federal Highway within a record time.

Umahi stated this during a courtesy visit of the Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, to his office, in Abuja, on Tuesday.

Speaking during the event, the minister said he had the directive of President Tinubu to present a programme that could see to the completion of the project within the next one year.

He assured the governor that the project, which was inherited from the past istration,would be started in three sections as soon as possible.

This was contained in a statement signed and made available to DAILY POST by the minister’s special adviser on media and publicity, Uchenna Orji.

“We are going to have the first section of 38 kilometres by 2, (which is 76 kilometres,) done by Dangote Group of Companies on Tax Credit and it’s going to use concrete to do it.

According to the statement, Umahi said: “We will allow the next 82 kilometres for Julius Berger to handle. And then the last 20 kilometres by 2, (which is 40 kilometres) for BUA to handle and to also use concrete to do that. And I can assure you that the job will start in these three sections within this month of May.”

The minister commended the governor for the peace and development being witnessed in Kaduna State under his istration despite inherent challenges.

He further said the president’s directive on deg 1,000 kilometres Sokoto- Badagry Highway was being handled with dispatch by the Federal Ministry of Works, noting that the project would cover the old African trade route of Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Kwara,Ondo, Oyo, Ogun, Lagos States, connecting to Badagry.

He also stated that a proposal was being made to link the South East to the North through the Trans Sahara Highway that would have a spur ing through Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, and end in Abuja.

On his part, the Governor of Kaduna State extolled the vision and will of the President of Nigeria in revolutionising road infrastructure, which is a catalyst for the socio- economic development of the nation.

“I have to commend him for his effort. Since his assumption to office, he has made us proud, because he has done extremely well, and because he has been able to follow the blueprint of our President, who promised everyone when he was elected that he would take development to every part of Nigeria, irrespective of those that elected him or not. And of course, that is the agenda, that is the Renewed Hope. Today, we are proud to say that development is reaching everywhere in Nigeria, ” he said.

Governor Sani commended the president’s initiative to construct the Lagos-Calabar Road and the Sokoto-Badagry road, noting that the projects would enhance the socio-economic potential of the country when completed.

life is not all about projects and projects.civil servants are hungry,stabilize this economy so that 5000 can cook a pot of stew.When everybody dies I don’t know the people that will now be using these roads.

I don't understand the statement. The Abuja-Kano road was awarded fully to Julius Berger. They've been doing a thorough job especially the Kaduna-Kano axis. After some hiatus, they remobilised to the Kaduna - Abuja section and started work. However, it appears they are been starved of funds. The work is getting stalled. And now Umahi is blabbing that Dangote and BUA will do some sections in concrete. Really? Who told him that we'll be deceived by his concrete roads? The terrain in the north is quite sturdy, asphalt suffices.
It's now becoming obvious that hurriedly packaged coastal road is affecting the funding of more critical roads. Umahi and BAT are taking Nigerians on a ride.

That shalaye is unnecessary.

The naysayers would be alive to witness the completion of the road

helinues:
That shalaye is unnecessary.

Yes o, naysayers.

This man may end up like Amaechi

Umahi should have stayed in Senate and save his name.
Federal roads started deteriorating under Fashola and now it's so worst that government gave the contracts to snail speed construction companies.

This government don't mean well for Nigerians.

Bitter Obi people go choke at this news

Personally,I don't see Umahi as qualify engineer,he always over design the pavement and when it comes to payment,he will start crying.For God's sake,how would you say contractors should continue to use old price of materials instead of current price.Contractors have started downsizing there manpower and even down the tools.His eyes go clear,oh Hi-Tech is there for him.

Okay...

The same mistake Amechi did.

What happens to East West Road in Niger Delta Region?

What of Lagos to Onitsha-Enugu Road

What of Enugu/Port Harcourt road.


You think Ur becoming president is assured after all these.

Ask Odili, Amechi and Wike

You will soon the league

The funny part of all this:

Onwubuasi will loose in 2027.
Jagaban will win in 2027

We then will see if the bitter Obi will continue to sink old skul lapel borehole and grant press releases to his gullible fan and headless mob...the fascist

We will then see if fan of the man that gets his ideas from mad men will still have the energy to continue to troll online....

Because by then, na north go don assume power for another 8 years....after which na south south for 8 years...then north....then south west

These people go commit suicide oooo.

Wait...where is the sheppopo ezekwesilly. It's been long time we hear from Mmesoma's mother

Wait again...it's been long time Onwubuasi gave condolence messages to his bitter fans...are they playing.
