The Federal Government has once again, promised to deliver the uncompleted section of the Abuja-Kaduna road before the end of the year.
KUB MEDIA reports that the government has made promises on several occasions to complete the project since December 20, 2018, when the contract was awarded.
In October 2022, the former minister of State, Works and Housing, Umar El-Yakub, said work on the Kaduna-Abuja highway, and Zaria-Kano road would be completed in early 2023 to reduce negative effects on road users.
Similarly, the former Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, in April 2023 stated that the present administration could not fulfill its promise due to security challenges experienced in 2022 and the relocation of some communities on the Zaria section of the 265km road project.
