Minister of State for Works Visits Kaduna-Abuja Expressway on Presidential Directive
-Pledges Immediate Emergency Repairs

In line with His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR's Renewed Hope Agenda, the Honourable Minister of State for Works, Bello Muhammad Goronyo, Esq., on the directive of Mr. President, undertook an urgent inspection visit to the critical portion of the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway.

The affected stretch, approximately 500 meters by the Federal Cooperative College at Abuja Junction in Kaduna, has been causing significant delays in the movement of people, goods, and services. This vital corridor is a major link within the nation’s socio-economic zones and its failed condition has heightened the hardship of motorists and impacted economic activities, greatly.

Speaking during the inspection, the Honourable 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 has made it a priority to ensure swift interventions, where necessary, to ease the suffering of Nigerians.

On behalf of the Honourable Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, CON, FNSE, Goronyo assured the public that the Ministry has 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.
