“This project for which we are here today is an 84km road contract, 42km on the two carriage way each.”
Aliyu, who said this during the inspection of the dualisation of Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja road section 1 on Saturday in Abuja, noted that the construction had reached over 95 per cent completion.
Aliyu explained that President Buhari, mandated that all projects that were on ground must be finished since government was a continuum. ”As you are all aware the programme for 2020 budget is to sort out the projects that has reached 80 to 90 per cent completion, push them and deliver them. So, this is part of the ones that has reached this percentage.
Speaking on his assessment of the road, Aliyu gave a pass mark on the work done so far and expressed optimism that the project would be delivered as soon as all the grey areas on the project were resolved. ”Our company and the ministry have identified that the area needs a service lane to cater for motorists that are going in and out of the park.”It is going to be an easy work once it is approved. So, this area is the only missing link, only one stretch in Gwagwalada that is remaining. Once we do that we have small things to tidy up and handover the job,” he explained.
