“Let’s give it November,” Umahi said in reaction to when the federal road will be completed. “We may have a little bit of challenges on funding but it is something that I intend to discuss with Mr President,” he added.

“The funding is coming from the PIDF – Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund – programme. Right now, we have a balance of N18 billion on that axis to pay. The stringent condition is that you cannot take funds that are meant for one project to do the other one.”

According to him, the completion of the project will come from the initiative of President Tinubu.
