David Umahi says 70 per cent of federal highways are being designed on concrete to elongate their lifespans
The Nigeria n government says it is transitioning from asphalt to concrete in the construction of highways across the country.
The minister, who was elated with the magnitude of the KAMSTEEL plant and the employment opportunities it has created, directed contractors working on federal government's construction projects to patronise top-class local manufacturers for construction materials. "A lot of our contractors are already using locally produced construction materials. From what I have seen today, and also the files that my directors revealed, we have no hesitation in directing our contractors to promote made-in-Nigeria construction materials."
