The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has set an April 2025 deadline for the completion of the ongoing dualisation of the East-West Road, Section II-II, from Ahoada to Kaiama in Rivers and Bayelsa States.

Umahi in a statement yesterday in Abuja, following his inspection of the road project, also confirmed that the construction of multiple box culverts in flood-affected areas along the East-West Road would be completed by the same April deadline.

While expressing satisfaction with the quality of work done on Section II-II by Messrs Setraco Nigeria Ltd, Umahi directed the company to accelerate the process by deploying additional resources to the project.
