The federal government of Nigeria will not embark on new capital projects in 2025, Minister of Works David Umahi disclosed in Calabar during a town hall meeting with stakeholders.
“We will resist going into new projects in 2025. We want to pay attention to the coastal highway from Calabar to Lagos. We also want to complete other federal highways, especially the Calabar-Uyo road,” he said.
He also issued a seven-day ultimatum to Julius Berger to return to the site of the Calabar-Uyo road or risk termination of the contract.
Umahi, who expressed dismay over the slow pace of work on the particular highway, said: “If they don’t return to site, we will terminate the contract. We won’t tolerate contractors playing tricks on our road construction.”
