FG AWARDS ILORIN-OBAJANA 80KM ROAD AT N8.2BN

Date: 2014-04-14

The Federal Government has flagged-off the rehabilitation of the Ilorin - Kabba - Obajana road.  

The flag-off ceremony was performed by the Minister of Works Arc. Mike Onolememen in Kabba, Kogi State.

The minister described the 80 kilometre stretch of road as a major economic route to the biggest cement plant in the continent of Africa, Obajana Cement Factory as well as to the Nation’s premier Steel Plant in Ajaokuta, Kogi State. 

The road connects Kogi and Kwara states while also serving as a connector/highway that links the North-South Arterial route A1 (Lagos-Ibadan-Ilorin-Kaduna-Katsina) to the North-South Arterial route A2 (Warri-Benin-Lokoja-Abuja-Kaduna-Katsina).

Onolememen stated that on completion of the road project, which was awarded to Messrs CGC Nigeria Limited, travel time and cost of vehicle maintenance will be reduced while socio-economic activities in the country will increase.

The minister also said the road will be completed within 36 months at the cost of N8.22 billion.

Earlier, the Executive Governor of Kogi State Idris Wada promised to provide the necessary security and support to the contractors to ensure successful completion of the project. He however called for compliance to the terms of the contract and asked the contractor not to cut corners but stick strictly to specifications.
