Minister of works, Engr. Nweze David Umahi, has declared the commitment of the federal government to complete the Abuja-Kaduna-Katsina-Kano Federal Highway within a record time.
He stated this when he received the Governor of Kaduna State Uba Sani in his office in Abuja yesterday.
Umahi said,"We are going to have the first section of 38 kilometres by 2, done by Dangote Group of Companies on tax credit and it's going to use concrete to do it. "I want to commend you very highly. In spite of the challenges you have in your state, you have started very well. And God will be with you. God will provide the means because you mean well for the nation, for your people in Kaduna State and in fact, for everyone who is living in Kaduna State.
He also stated that a proposal was being made to link the South East to the North through the Trans Sahara Highway that would have a spur passing through Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa and end in Abuja. He commended the president's initiative to construct Lagos-Calabar Road and the Sokoto-Badagry Road, noting that the projects would enhance the socioeconomic potential of the country when completed.
