Umahi disclosed this on Thursday during an inspection tour of the highway. The 46km stretch, the first section of the ECOWAS road to Seme Border and Abidjan would be ready for President Bola Tinubu’s inauguration to commemorate his second year in office.

The minister said the project contractor had been paid N50 billion from the N71 billion contract sum.

According to him, the contractor has demonstrated a high capacity to deliver the project by the set timeline.

Umahi said, “The contractor has been paid about N50 billion; what is left to complete the job is N21 billion.

“We have scheduled a meeting with the contractor to discuss finalising the remaining four to five kilometres before April 20.”

Umahi also said the second section terminating at Seme Border would be done with concrete pavement.

He said a proposition would be made for the border- states to complete their sections of the ECOWAS highway project, terminating at Abidjan.

The minister of works commended the President for working on about 270 inherited projects nationwide. He said the projects were earmarked for inauguration in May. The Lagos-Badagry Expressway project was first awarded in October 2018.
