BY CHIKA OKEKE, Abuja

The Minister of State for Works, Bello Muhammad Goronyo has ordered immediate emergency repairs on the damaged portion of Kaduna-Abuja Expressway.

He stated this while inspecting the critical portion of the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway, as was directed by President Bola Tinubu.

The affected stretch, approximately 500 meters by the Federal Cooperative College, Abuja junction road in Kaduna State, has been causing significant delays in the movement of people, goods, and services.

This vital corridor is a major link within the nation’s socio-economic zones and its failed condition heightened the hardship of motorists and impacted economic activities, greatly.

The minister emphasised the strategic importance of the road, reiterating President Tinubu’s commitment to making Nigerian roads motorable and safe, despite existing funding constraints.

He noted that the President has priortised swift interventions on roads where necessary in order to ease the suffering of Nigerians.

Goronyo maintained that the proactive measure to fix the failed portion of the road was part of the government’s broader agenda to strengthen road infrastructure and promote an efficient transportation network across the country.

While appreciating the patience and understanding of road users, the minister assured the public of concerted efforts to deliver quality roads and bridges for accelerated national development.
