The project was awarded to CCG Ltd at the initial cost of N9.3 billion in 2017, and an additional N7 billion approved in 2020 to complete it.
Salihu Abubakar, the federal controller of works in charge of Adamawa, who gave the assurance in Numan when he inspected the project, said so far, 20 kilometers of the 46 kilometer road had been completed.“The initial contract sum was ₦9.3 billion awarded in 2017, however, the federal government graciously approved additional ₦7 billion in 2020.
“The additional ₦7 billion approval was to handle the critical section of the road, which is 11 kilometers, starting from kilometer 29 to kilometer 18, which is now in advance stage, with no less than four kilometers left. “So, we are appealing to the general public to appreciate federal government efforts; God willing, before the end of this year the whole project will be completed, especially the critical section of the road,” Abubakar said.
He said the delay was caused by some problems that cropped up in the course of the construction including insecurity, watery areas and clay covering 11 kilometers.
