The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has set an April 2025 deadline for the completion of the ongoing dualisation of the East-West Road, Section II-II, from Ahoada to Kaiama in Rivers and Bayelsa States.

Mr Umahi made the announcement in a statement signed by Mohammed Ahmed, director of Press and Public Relations, on Thursday in Abuja, following his inspection of the road project.

He also confirmed that the construction of multiple box culverts in flood-affected areas along the East-West Road would be completed by the same April deadline.
