The Federal Government has commenced work on the dualisation of the 375.9-km Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Highway in the North-West geopolitical zone of the country.
Minister of Works David Umahi stated this during the flag-off of work and the site handover of the 38-km dual carriageway section of the road to Dangote Group of Companies on July 27, 2024. Speaking during the flag-off and handover ceremony, Umahi charged the three companies handling the three sections of the project to show absolute devotion to the completion of the project.
He said: 'We are using this as a point of contact to flag off 'Free our Roads' all over the country. They will use a stone base to fill and free all the potholes. In failed portions or where we have potholes, they will all be filled, both carriageways. 'They will continue to maintain one carriageway for vehicles to follow while they consistently work on one carriageway.
