Mr Babatunde Fashola has said the Federal Government would from now on ensure better funding of the various ongoing road projects across the country.
Fashola told the contractors that funds would be made readily available to further confirm the Federal Government’s commitment to ensure that contractors were paid quarterly.
The minister asked the contractors to ensure that they regularly informed members of the public of challenges contractors faced during raining seasons in the construction sector.
“Let the Nigerian people know what is happening on our roads when they are not maintained during the raining season, also this happens in other part of the world.
“Even with the best of maintenance, some rains are heavy and sometimes causes flooding, you will lose some of the infrastructure like it happened in some parts of America,” he said.
