The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, who disclosed this during an inspection tour of the Lafia bypass road and ‘dualization’ of the 9th Mile (Enugu)-Otukpo-Makurdi road project in Makurdi, said that the president’s directive was meant remove any impediment to the quick completion of the three projects.
It was learnt that the 260-kilometre road is being jointly funded by the Export-Import Bank of Nigeria, which is handling 85 percent of it, while the federal government is taking a counterpart funding of 15 per cent.
