President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to completing the Abuja-Kano Expressway swiftly. To achieve this, some sections of the contract previously awarded to Julius Berger PLC have been revoked and reassigned to another reputable contractor. This decision was made after Julius Berger proposed a three-year timeline for completion, which the President rejected in favor of a revised deadline of 14 months.
According to the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, the President is determined to complete the project, which will link the Federal Capital Territory to Kano and other states. Idris emphasized that politics should not be involved in the project, and that the Ministry of Works is committed to delivering the project on time.
The Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, announced that the Ministry has secured a “No Objection” of N252.89 billion from the Bureau of Public Procurement and will present the contract for ratification at the next Federal Executive Council meeting. The project has been segmented into three sections for ease of work, and the Minister is confident that it will be completed in record time .
