By Alice Etuka, Abuja
The Minister of State for Works, Bello Goronyo, on the directive of President Bola Tinubu undertook an urgent inspection visit to the critical portion of the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway.
Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Works, Mohammed Ahmed disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Ahmed said the affected stretch, approximately 500 meters by the Federal Cooperative College at Abuja Junction in Kaduna, had been causing significant delays in the movement of people, goods and services.
This vital corridor, he explained was a major link within the nation’s socio-economic zones and its failed condition had heightened the hardship of motorists and impacted economic activities, greatly.
Speaking during the inspection, the Minister emphasised the strategic importance of the road, reiterating President Tinubu’s commitment to making Nigerian roads motorable and safe, despite existing funding constraints.
He noted that the President had made it a priority to ensure swift interventions, where necessary, to ease the suffering of Nigerians.
On behalf of the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, Goronyo assured the public that the Ministry had assessed the identified portion of the road and will commence immediate emergency repairs.
This proactive measure is part of the government’s broader agenda to strengthen road infrastructure and promote an efficient transportation network across the country.
The Minister, while appreciating the patience and understanding of road users, assured the public of concerted efforts to deliver quality roads and bridges for accelerated national development.
