 Now, the Federal Government has expressed worry over the delay in the completion of 375 km of Abuja Kaduna Canoe Expressway project. Speaking during a monitoring and assessment visit, the Department Secretary of the Ministry of Works and Housing Mahmoud Mahman says the pace of the work is slow. The project was awarded by former President Mohammed Buhari in 2017 with a sum of 797.2 billion dollars expected to be completed within 36 months. Mahmoud explained that a new strategy will be adopted to ensure speedy completion from Nigerians to a better routine or for better service in the country. That is why Nigerians are agitated complaining and that is what actually brought us from the office to come and see and devise solutions so that he can be able to pass the deliver of the project. The Abuja Kaduna end, I mean, a lot of problems. But why the project actually slowed down is mainly because of the security challenges. Now that the situation has improved, the contractor has actually promised to deliver that by the first quarter of next year, the whole length of the project is going to be completed. I think we are going to take his timeline and go along that way. Also the project manager lamented that wet season, traffic and insecurity, the major challenges affecting the timely completion of the road. However, the Department Secretary commended the quality of work done so far. He urged Nigerians to bear with the contractor while assuring of the current administration's commitment to providing more funds for the project. The challenges we have at the moment, sure, I mean everybody knows, we are in rainy season so one of our major challenges at the moment is rain. Everybody knows we are working with materials which, when they get wet, like this ladder ride, they are not so easy to handle. So our major challenge is the weather at the moment but I can assure this is considered in our schedule so this will not affect the time when we will finish. And one of the next major challenges we have at the moment is traffic. Between Kaduna and Saria, the main carriageway was handed over on the 24th of May. So the traffic can flow on the main carriageway and we are working at the moment at the surrounding walks which are embankments and road marking and other minor things and we are very confident that we will finish them in the nearest future. As I mentioned before, this is also a little bit depending on the weather. I'm working with the quality of the work I have seen so far. So far it is satisfactory and I think we are having along the Abudia-Kaduna-Kaduna Canal Expressway and this is a new administration that is determined to deliver services to Nigeria and they are also committed and this is also a high priority project and I'm sure with the priority that they are given, the funding is not going to be an issue and that's why we promise you that it's going to be completed.
