Fashola, who spoke at separate 2023 budget defence sessions with the Senate Committees on Works and Housing, also lamented over drastic budget cuts earmarked for the two sectors in the 2023 fiscal year.
Out of the N956billion outstanding liabilities, the federal government is owing contractors handling the National Housing Scheme N191.75billion while the remaining balance of N765billion is owed contractors handling road projects across the country from the total contract value of N10.4trillion.
Specifically in his submissions before the Senate Committee on Housing , Fashola said the National Housing Project which started in 2016 has been executed in 35 out of 36 states of the federation with 1,250 contractors.
