The Minister made the commendation while on inspection tour of the road on Tuesday September 5, 2023.

He pointed out some faults on the road to be as a result of using bad asphalt which led to the failure of the road, so the contractor has been directed to go back, redesign 1.6 kilometer and ensure the needed attention on rigid pavement on the right-hand side.

While addressing Pressmen, Umahi, attributed the major problem to be funding. In his words, "but I will acknowledge that our major problem is the issue of funding, there is no way any annual budget can fund it with Sukuk, it's difficult. So, we have to work out issues and see how we can source for the money". He added.

In his address, Director Highways in charge of the South East, Engr. Bide Obioha shed more light on the contract work.
