The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says the long-delayed Apo-Karshi road will finally be completed and handed over by November, putting an end to a 15-year wait for residents in the axis.
Mr Wike gave the assurance in Abuja on Saturday after inspecting the project’s progress and the 14-kilometre Bwari-Kubwa Road.
He explained that the 13.5-kilometre road, originally awarded in 2011 under previous administrations, has been a major point of frustration for motorists experiencing daily traffic congestion between satellite communities and the Abuja city centre.
He explained that the current administration was forced to revoke the original contract due to persistent delays and re-award it to construction firm SCC Nigeria Ltd.
“The Apo-Karshi road has been a topical issue. It was awarded in 2010, and it was one of the projects President Bola Tinubu inherited.
