InfrastructureFG Approves N7bn For Rehabilitation of Cham to Numan Road

The Federal Government has approved N7 billion for the urgent rehabilitation of the 46.3km Cham to Numan road.

Mr. Salihu Abubakar, Federal Controller of Works in Adamawa, made this known while inspecting the road.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the road, located in Gombe and Adamawa States, has been in deplorable condition for many years.

“Work on the project was delayed due to insufficient fund; the approval of the fund by the Federal Government was part of a palliative to cushion the hardship of transporters and commuters plying the road.

“The work is coming as a result of the rainy season which halted work on the project, thereby worsening its already deplorable condition”. He said

Abubakar urged travelers using the road to be patient and exercise caution during the rehabilitation work.

 Mr Xu Hua, Site Manager, CGC Nigeria Limited, the company handling the main construction, attributed the snail speed of the project to non-release of funds.
