Umahi made the disclosure during an inspection tour of the highway. “We came to review the project with the financial promoters – Dutch Bank and Development Bank of Southern Africa,” he said.

He said it was projected that 20km of the road (from Ahmadu Bello Way in Lagos) would have been completed by May.

“We are going to surpass the 20km from this site,” the Minister said.

Umahi said the first phase of the highway project had been more than 70 per cent completed although the contractor had not got funds up to the 70 per cent.

“That is why I call them people that have set their minds towards nation-building rather than making money,” he said.

According to him, along the corridor, there are some lands that have been acquired for tourism, industries, factories and housing estates.

“These are the road architecture that you are going to receive on this highway. I assure you that by January next year, God willing, we have this road completed,” the Minister said.

He said the financial promoters of the highway were satisfied with the work progress, quality, method statement, and every other thing about the project.

Umahi praised the contractor handling the project, Hitech Construction Company, for efforts made.

“The road is exceptionally technically well-designed. The concrete thickness is designed for 275 millimetres but what they are doing is 280 millimetres.

“I commend also the department in charge of this project – the Department of Bridge and Roads, and, of course, the controller of works in Lagos,” he said.

Umahi said the greatest worry he could have would be motorists joining the highway ‘from their houses’

“It is going to be a very serious issue; so, we have to design a barrier. I know that you are putting a retaining wall but you have not incorporated a retaining wall all through,” he said

The Minister said as a superhighway, it would be expected that motorists would join it at flyovers and interchanges to avoid gridlock.
