The Federal Government has withdrawn the Abuja-bound carriageway of the ongoing Mararaba–Keffi Road reconstruction project from China Harbour Engineering Company Limited.
The Minister of Works, David Umahi announced this during an inspection of the 43.65-kilometre dual carriageway.
He said the decision was due to poor performance and the uncooperative attitude of the company.
Mr Umahi accused the Company of not following the Ministry’s directives and failing to maintain sections of the road not under active construction,
The Minister added that local contractors would now handle the section to ensure speed and quality delivery.
He warned that any ministry official who failed to escalate project challenges within 24 hours will be recalled.
