Umahi Expresses Satisfaction Over Ongoing Reconstruction Of Abuja-Keffi Highway

The Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has expressed his satisfaction over the ongoing reconstruction of the Abuja-Keffi Road

JRB Construction Company Limited was awarded the emergency reconstruction of the road in October 2025.

The Abuja-Keffi dual carriageway project is a critical infrastructure development that aims to improve road connectivity and reduce travel time between the nation’s capital and Nasarawa State, where most of the federal civil servants working in Abuja reside.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of March 2026.

Umahi, while speaking during the inspection of the project on Monday, described the execution of the project as topnotch.

He stated: “JRB’s work is top-notch. You won’t see any difference between JRB and China Harbour, and their speed is unmatched.

“In fact, the speed of JRB has prompted China Harbour to speed up their own work on the project.

“This is the kind of people that will grow this country. Be assured that Mr President is aware of what you are doing. And you are going to be paid to the last kobo.”

Umahi reiterated the federal government’s commitment to continue to support and empower indigenous companies that have demonstrated exceptional performance and patriotism in their work.

He added: “We want to see more indigenous companies like JRB Construction Company Limited, which have demonstrated exceptional performance and patriotism in their work.

“We will continue to support and empower indigenous companies that have the capacity to deliver high-standard projects and contribute to the growth and development of the country.”

“The recognition of JRB Construction Company Limited by the federal government is a testament to the company’s exceptional performance and commitment to delivering high-standard projects.

“The company’s reputation as one of the top indigenous construction companies in Nigeria has been reinforced, and it is expected to continue to play a critical role in the development of infrastructure in the country.”
