Sambo announced this on Saturday during an inspection of federal road projects within Taraba and Adamawa states.
He, however, said that with the current improved funding provision, the contractor was expected to service its equipment and be more serious on the construction work. While briefing the Minister on the progress of work on the Numan- Jalingo road, a Senior Civil Engineer at the site, Maria Zirrah representing the Federal Controller of Works Adamawa, said insecurity, lack of construction materials and funding were responsible for the slow pace of work on the project.
Koshihuk promised that as soon as the funding pattern for the rahabilation improved, the work would be completed within 8 months.
