FEC approves N49bn revised sum for Enugu-Anambra link road
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the sum of N49 billion being the revised sum for the old Enugu-Onitsha road project.
The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, briefed State House correspondents after the FEC meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Fashola said his ministry sought and obtained two approvals from the council.
“We presented two memoranda to the council; both were approved; the first is with regards to contract cost revision by way of augmentation for the old Enugu-Onitsha road from Opi junction all the way to Udi-Oji to Anambra border in Enugu State.
“The augmentation was in the sum of N17 billion which revised the contract sum to N49 billion with an additional completion time of 42 months.’’
The minister said the second contract was a fresh contract for the maintenance of the pavement of the third mainland bridge.
He said the maintenance would address public concerns about the presence of potholes on the bridge.
“This was approved in the sum of N6.3 billion for a period of 24 months.
“This is in consonance with the Executive Order 11 signed by the president for the continued maintenance of public infrastructure
