Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said on Thursday that despite shaky resources, the Federal Government was still committed to providing key infrastructure for the benefits of the people.
“This administration is passionate about infrastructural development particularly roads.
“These projects will tremendously decongest traffic around Abuja and open up the city,” he said.
“It is one of the priority roads that, when we came in as an administration, we realised that there was need for it to be completed.
“We also realise that funding for the project had been quite slow over the years.
“We therefore discussed with the contractors and agreed on specific milestones.
“We decided that there is need to complete the bridge which is the most critical aspect of the job.
“Over the last few months, we have been able to fund the contractor with over N2 billion and they were able to complete the road as well as the linkage from AYA roundabout’’, he said.
