FG Sets Completion Deadlines for Abuja-Kano Road Reconstruction

The Federal Government has entered the final stages of the 375-kilometre Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Highway project. In a recent nationwide tour, engineers confirmed that a 108-kilometre stretch from Tungan-Maje in the FCT to Jere in Kaduna State has been fully delivered. The Ministry of Works has transitioned the project to "Continuous Reinforced Concrete Pavement" (CRCP) to ensure the road remains durable for decades.

Section II of the corridor is currently on track for completion by November 2026, while other key segments involving asphalt overlays near Kano have reached 80% completion. To ensure immediate relief for commuters during the rainy season, the government also launched "Operation Free Our Roads," focusing on maintaining motorable conditions through palliatives and earthworks while the permanent concrete construction continues round-the-clock.
