The distinguished Lawmaker, who expressed concern over the present condition of the Federal Road said something urgent needed to be done to address the situation.
Stressing that this has caused untold hardship for motorists who ply the Road on daily basis.
According to the lawmaker, Suleja – Minna road project was awarded to Salinin Construction Company in 2010 with completion date of 2011 but upto now the road project is yet to be completed.
It would be recalled that during the President Muhammad Buhari administration, a statement was issued by the Director of Press and Public Relations in the Ministry of Works and Housing that “the Director, Highways Construction and Rehabilitation of the Ministry has promised that Suleja- Minna Road which was being funded by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) under the Tax Credit Scheme introduced by the Federal Government will be completed by January 2023.
Unfortunately, 1 year beyond the expected completion day, the project is still at 35 percent execution level.
It is against this background that Rt. Hon. Yusuf Kure Baraje appeals to
President Tinubu to prioritize the completion of Suleja – Minna road project which execution has lingered for over a decade.
