- FG’ll Complete All Major Road Projects
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said the Federal is committed to completing all major road projects across the country.
Fashola, who stated this during an inspection of road projects in Lagos State on Saturday, listed the Truck Park in Apapa, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Tin Can Island/Oworonshoki Expressway, Wharf Road rehabilitation, and the reconstruction of the Mosimi/Sagamu Road as some of the roads currently receiving attention in and around Lagos State.
He said that the ongoing road projects across the country would help to develop the nation’s infrastructure and improve commerce.
He said the ministry was working to fulfil President Muhammadu Buhari’s mandate to get the economy out of recession and set it on the path of inclusive growth where money would trickle down to the most vulnerable people.
Fashola also said that the Federal Government would continue to make funds available to contractors in order to ensure delivery of projects as scheduled.
The minister spoke while paying a courtesy call on the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, after inspecting some Federal Government road and housing projects in the state.
While stating that the Federal Government was not competing with state governments in terms of infrastructural development, Fashola noted that it was ready to collaborate with the states in the provision of infrastructure in the country.
