Minister of Works and Housing, Engineer David Nweze Umahi, stated that the Abuja-Kaduna highway is only 20 per cent complete. He urged the construction company…

He urged the construction company to expedite the project for completion by 2024

According to him, the Kaduna-Zaria section is fully complete, and the Kaduna-Kano section is 70 per cent done.

Speaking during a visit to the Kaduna State Government House with other officials as part of his inspection tour of federal roads under construction, the minister highlighted his commitment to presidential directives for timely completion.

He praised Julius Berger’s work quality and announced discussions about phase two’s completion with them.

He stressed the importance of quality project and timely completion.

Umahi said, “We are discussing with Julius Berger on phase two of the project which from Kaduna to Zaria is said to be 100 per cent done. We will see that when we come back to this region to inspect the rest of the project. Section three is set to be completed up to 70 per cent.

“And section one which is Abuja to Kaduna unfortunately is 20 per cent completion. We are talking to them to still maintain the same quality but see if we can still deploy up to 60 per cent of the road length for concrete. We are discussing this with them. We are very confident of the quality of the concrete of Julius Berger.

“What I want them to know is that there are other construction giants that can also deliver quality work. So we don’t want to go beyond 2024 with this project, not 2025. That is not what the president has directed.”

The minister confirmed that funding for the project is not the issue for the delay in the road completion, saying insecurity also played a role.

The state governor, Senator Uba Sani represented by his deputy, Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, commended the minister’s efforts and requested the timely completion of other road projects, including the Western Bypass and Nnamdi Azikwe Road.

Autobiography:
Defence? How was his security score card in Zamfara. That appointment was dead wrong...

Ireportlive:
North always come together to support their own

igwebuike01:
Umahi dribbled Wike to clinch work minister. His position is far ahead of Wike.

Ireportlive:





Tinubu got it right with Wike and Umahi

I really miss El Rufai, but his mouth caused him the job

proeast:
Another propaganda. Everything about them revolves around cheap propaganda. Lithium that is already found in the North and other places across Nigeria without noise but they're hoping to find in their region yet propaganda has preceded it.

SMH.

SpartaOfLagos:
Maybe he wants to read more on how to sponsor Boko haram

ImmaculateJOE:
Okay..

I know you are from the North and hates anything Igbo..

But in your honest opinion, do you believe that the population of Yorubas in the North, equals that of Igbos population in the North..?
Like the OP and other commenters suggested..?

ImmaculateJOE:
Is this what you understand from his write up..?

He said about 90% of those into Chemists, electronics, spare parts, restaurant businesses are of Igbo Origin, not the entire population..

kettykin:
If I had not traveled Nigeria and lived and worked all round Nigeria, I would have believed the satanic manipulations being churned out by some individuals. The massive population, investment and spread of igbos in kaduna , jos , kano maiduguri is talk for another day.

I remember going to Azare somewhere in Bauchi only to hire a welder who happened to be igbo but employed Hausas as apprentice ,I was so amazed that I had to engage him every evening to discuss about business, socio politics etc.

Do you know that in every northern town , city or village 90% probability that the chemist, boutique, restaurant, beer parlor, spare parts shop, electronics shop you will find there is owned by an igbo man.

I once met an igbo man in shehu laminu way who told me that he sells computer spares in maiduguri and that he has customers that come from Chad to buy spares and parts for their system, someone that fixed my phone in kaltungo Gomber state is an igbo engineer who served in gombe and opted to settle there.

The business network and empire of igbos is simply beyond the scope of nairaland.

Parachoko:
Can you explain how's an all time low?

nellyelitz:
wonderful, so even koran believe and recognised Jesus as the Messiah

Truckpusher:
Keep bleating like a goat.

An ordinary dog in the South is fully aware that your type of Islam mixed with poverty is a recipe for disaster.

You killed a girl over false narrative of blasphemy and you expect an a Southerner to make sense about what you practice and your way of life ?

ISLAMBAD:
Their islam is different from the abomination we are seeing here ....


These are the people that understand that humanity first before religion. I gave up on Nigerian Muslim when some of them said that celebrating Christmas is haram, whereas many Christians join them to celebrate Salah

Its a pity

greatiyk4u:
The difference is freedom to education and exposure

Foodqueen:
Nigerian Muslims will still have something to say.
