He directed the agencies to ensure the provision of drainages for the road.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThe next phase is to look towards rural roads outside of the city proper, because they are also very crucial and serve as means to bringing people and goods into and outside the city. The target is to finish this work before the end of the year. On our own part, we hope to make adequate payments to ensure early completion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Minister was accompanied during the inspection by the Gomo of Kuje, Alhaji Tanko Jibril and Council Chairman Abdulahi Galadima.<\/p>\n<p>STDD Director, Victoria Imande in her brief to the Minister, disclosed that the road is about 60 percent complete while the remaining 40 percent will hopefully be completed by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>She noted that some portions of the road that were already showing signs of failure have been marked out adding that the contractor has been contacted to make amends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo sooner the job was commenced than it was abandoned due to lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/get-quick-loan-for-real-estate-investment\/\">funding<\/a>. But following recent release of funds and commitment shown by the present Administration the contractor has mobilized to site with progress at 60 percent\u201d, she stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/minister-berates-contractors-over-n700m-road-project\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FCT Minister, Muhammad Bello The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Muhammad Bello has warned &hellip; <a title=\"Minister berates contractors over N700m road project\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/minister-berates-contractors-over-n700m-road-project\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Minister berates contractors over N700m road project<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[2890,41,15296],"class_list":["post-5792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-construction","tag-property","tag-target"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Mohammed-Bello.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8015,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/lagos-doles-out-n5-5b-to-council-roads-contractors\/","url_meta":{"origin":5792,"position":0},"title":"Lagos doles out N5.5b to council roads\u2019 contractors","author":"Amazing Property","date":"February 5, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi AmbodeTo kick-start construction activities on proposed councils\u2019 roads in the metropolis, Lagos State Government has disbursed the sum of N5.563 billion to successful contractors, who bidded for the project last year.The benefiting contractors were among the over 1,000 building and civil engineering contractors, who tendered for\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Opportunities In New Markets&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Opportunities In New Markets","link":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/category\/opportunities-in-new-markets\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Ambode.jpg","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ambode.jpg?fit=1200%2C666&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ambode.jpg?fit=1200%2C666&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ambode.jpg?fit=1200%2C666&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ambode.jpg?fit=1200%2C666&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ambode.jpg?fit=1200%2C666&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":6730,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/government-awaits-tin-can-island-apapa-road-design\/","url_meta":{"origin":5792,"position":1},"title":"Government awaits Tin Can Island-Apapa road design","author":"Amazing Property","date":"October 23, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Minster of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola.
