FG sets deadline for East-West road completion

Published by

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, respectively.

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.

While expressing satisfaction with the quality of work done on Section II-II by Messrs Setraco Nigeria Ltd, Umahi directed the company to accelerate the process by deploying additional resources to the project.

“The April 2025 delivery date remains sacrosanct.

“However, due to the soil conditions in the flood-affected areas where box culverts are being constructed, continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP) should be used.

“The affected area spans about 2.3 kilometers,” he said.
