 The Federal Executive Council has approved 38.4 billion Naira for the completion of some inherited road projects in five states of the Federation. Minister of Works and Housing Babatunde Fashala made this known when he briefed state house correspondents at the end of the council meeting, presided over by President Muhammad Bawari on Wednesday in Abuja. According to him, the benefitting states include Benwe, Bayalsa, Anambra, Imo and Nasserawa. He added that all the affected projects were inherited from previous administrations. Also addressing correspondence on the outcome of the meeting, the Minister of Water Resources Suleiman Adamou disclosed that the council approved 10.7 million Naira as an argumentation for the completion of the Midu-Urima Valley Irrigation Project in Sokoto state. The 20 kilometer dualization of Yeneguya Road Junction to Kulu, to Utuke and to Bayalsa Palm in Bayalsa state. That contract was awarded in December 2014 on the eve of the tenure of the last administration and it couldn't even take off because of those militancy issues at the time and also very limited budget provisions. It is one of the contracts that we have since reactivated with the Sukuk. So the dualization of that 20 kilometer road is progressing but there are some additional works that need to be done. There are also results of further investigations that support a revision of the contract by 7.947 billion, revising it from a total of 26.498 billion now to 34.446 billion and this was approved by council.
