The Federal Government has given a deadline of the end of February to the contractor handling the expansion of the Mararaba–Keffi road to complete the job.
The Minister of Works, Mr. David Umahi, gave the deadline during an inspection of the 43-kilometre Mararaba–Keffi corridor in the North-central region,
He warned that failure to meet the date and comply with directives would attract sanctions.
Mr. Umahi expressed dissatisfaction with the continued use of hand-moulded caps on the road, highlighting that he had issued repeated instructions for their removal during several previous visits to the site.
The Minister also faulted a Ministry Controller on the site for disobeying directives and issuing certificates for work not done and directed the Controller’s immediate removal from the site.
He further pledged to intensify field supervision, adding that he would spend most of his working days on project sites to ensure that government policies translated into tangible results.
