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).

Olufemi Adetunji urged the contractor to adhere with the terms of the contract, as no extension of the completion period will be entertained.
