The Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, has said that the Abuja-Lokoja road would be completed and commissioned in 2014.
The minister gave the assurance while fielding questions from journalists in Abuja recently. He noted that although budgetary provision was low, the ministry would attend to its critical projects.
“It is true that the budget of the Ministry of Works just like any other ministry dropped as a result of the challenges the government has faced in its revenue generation,” he explained, “but suffice it to say that this year, we have been able to judiciously use what we have received from the Ministry of Finance in driving our road development programme across the country.”
He further assured of the timely completion of other road projects in the country, including the Benin-Ore dual carriage way.
