The scope of the contract consists of patching of existing potholes, as well as the reinstatement of critically failed sections of the said alignment. And the approved contract sum is N366 million (Three Hundred and Sixty-Six Million Naira). 


Speaking during an inspection tour of the project on Saturday, 5th October, 2024, the Directors, Highways, North Central Zone I, Engr. Mohammed Goni and Special Projects (North), Engr. Olufemi Adetunji urged the contractor to adhere with the terms of the contract, as no extension of the completion period will be entertained. They described the project as a catalyst to economic growth and a vital artery connecting the Northern and Southern parts of the country. Engr. Goni promised Nigerians that with the successful completion of the contract, the remaining failed parts  from Tafa - Kaduna will also be awarded, reiterating the resolve of the present administration to the provision of critical road infrastructure.


The Project Supervisor, H&M (Nig.) Ltd, Mr. Lawrence Emmanuel disclosed that work is  ongoing with the cutting and shaping of the failed portions reaching Dikko Junction in Niger State, while the asphalting of the cut points is expected to start on Monday, 7th October, 2024.
