The Federal Government has made a significant move by terminating the contract for Section 1 of the Kano-Maiduguri road project, which was awarded to Dantata & Sawoe Ltd back in 2007.
This decision comes after years of delays that have left the project incomplete and frustrated many stakeholders.
The Kano-Maiduguri road is crucial for connecting various regions and facilitating trade, yet it has become a symbol of inefficiency and neglect.
Local officials and residents have long expressed concerns about the road’s condition, which has turned into a dangerous passage for commuters.
Reports indicate that the road has faced severe deterioration, with sections washed away and becoming impassable due to flooding.
The governor of the region has called for urgent federal intervention, highlighting the road’s importance for economic activities and safety.
The termination of this contract signals the government’s intention to address infrastructure challenges more effectively and ensure that critical projects are completed on time to benefit the public
