The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola speaking to state house correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting at the state house Abuja, yesterday, said that the Federal government will not embark on the award and construction of any new road project until existing road projects from the last administration have all been completed. Fashola said the last administration awarded 206 road contracts but were not funded for over three years.
He said that roads that are of great economic value such as the Lagos-Ibadan expressway where important items such as fuel or food are to be transported to all parts of the country, are of topmost importance to the government.
