The Federal Executive Council FEC yesterday in Abuja approved the sum of 829.8 million Naira as the revised estimated cost for the rehabilitation of the Nkwo-Inyi-Akpugoze road linking Anambra and Enugu States which was
originally awarded in 2018 because it is a strategic interstate road that had heavy traffic.
Minister of State for Works and Housing Umar El-Yakub, revealed the revised contract figure to newsmen at the end of the council’s weekly meeting, where the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing presented a memorandum seeking the council’s approval for the revised estimated cost of the contract.
The rehabilitation of the Nkwo-Inyi-Akpugoze Road at Anambra’s border with Enugu State and is expected to be completed in six months.
On the dilapidated nature of the Ekpoma-Benin Expressway, El-Yakub guaranteed that measures were being taken to fix the road but the rainy season was delaying its completion.
