Abuja – The Federal Executive Council has approved N56.3 billion for the completion of the Abaji-Koton Karfe section of the Abuja-Lokoja highway.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola disclosed this to State House Correspondents at the end of this week’s cabinet meeting held in Abuja on Wednesday.

He said the approval was for the re-award of the contract for the 49-kilometre section of the road due to non-performance by the former contractor.

“The Ministry of Works and Housing submitted two memoranda. The first was for the termination and re-award of the 49 kilometres section of Abaji to Koton karfe, which is part of the Abuja-Lokoja highway.

It was awarded for N56.175 billion. Hopefully, this should facilitate the completion of that critical Highway, which started in 2006,” the Minister said.

Council was also briefed that the inflation rate declined year on year for eight months, consecutively since April 2021, but they decreased slightly in December 2021, 15.63% was recorded.
