The Minister of State of the Federal Ministry of Works, Bello Muhammad Goronyo, on the directive of President Tinubu 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 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 Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, Goronyo assured the public that the Ministry has assessed the identified portion of the road and will commence immediate emergency repairs.
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.
