The Federal Government has once again, promised to deliver the uncompleted section of the Abuja-Kaduna before the end of the year.
Speaking in a meeting with all directors of the ministry yesterday in Abuja, the Minister of Works, David Umahi, assured that the ministry is ready to conquer all contractual obstacles and ensure delivery of the project for the benefit of Nigerians before the end of 2024.
According to the former Ebonyi State governor, the contractors have requested a review of the price of N1.3 billion to finance the project.
The federal government has twice failed on the promise to deliver the project. The reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Expressway, currently handled by Julius Berger is funded under the Presidential Development fund initiatives and is divided into three sections.
