He noted that the ministry is working hard to beat the 2023 deadline for the reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano road.
Daily Trust reports that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) had approved the award of a N797.2 billion contract for the reconstruction of a hybrid two-lane-six-lane road network that covers 375.9km starting with the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria to Kano road. The project, awarded to Julius Berger Nigeria PLC with 36 months tenure, is expected to be completed in 2023.
