He said the Suleja-Minna dualisation, projected to be completed in January 2024, would be completed much earlier due to the availability of funds.

He noted that the road was under the NNPC Tax Credit Scheme. 

“The construction of the road is very imperative to link the Bida-Mokwa section already completed under the World Bank due to the importance of the segment of the federal highway being a major link for vehicular traffic from the South West to the North Central part of the country and beyond,” said the Controller of Works in the state.
