In a recent inspection of the Abuja-Kaduna section of the highway, Minister of Works David Umahi revealed that all sections of the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano highway are expected to be completed within the next 24 months. The Minister, accompanied by Minister of Finance and Coordinating Economy Wale Edun, shared that the revised timeline was established through negotiations with the road contractor, Julius Berger Construction Company.


Originally contracted by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government in 2018 with a completion period of 36 months, the project faced delays attributed to a lack of funds. Minister Umahi assured the public of the government's renewed commitment to meet the revised deadline, emphasizing that Julius Berger had committed to completing 15 kilometers daily to adhere to the new schedule.
