Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani recently met with Minister of Works Senator David Umahi to review the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Expressway project, aiming to expedite its completion. The meeting, held in Abuja, focused on the Abuja–Jere–Kaduna segment, a crucial route for millions of Nigerians who rely on it daily for mobility, trade, and social connections.

Governor Sani emphasized the importance of the highway, describing it as a “national artery” vital to the socio-economic integration of northern Nigeria. He noted that the project aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to modernize infrastructure and drive national competitiveness. The expressway is seen as an economic corridor that connects people, markets, and opportunities across northern Nigeria and beyond.

Senator Umahi commended Governor Sani’s proactive engagement and advocacy, reaffirming the federal government’s commitment to completing the project promptly. To achieve this, contractors have been instructed to work double shifts to accelerate progress without compromising quality. The Jere–Kaduna section is receiving special attention, with construction activities being closely monitored to ensure timely delivery.

The Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Expressway project is a significant infrastructure development aimed at improving transportation links and promoting economic growth in northern Nigeria. The project’s completion is expected to have a positive impact on the region, enhancing mobility, trade, and social connections. With the federal government’s renewed commitment to the project, it is likely that the expressway will be completed sooner rather than later, bringing benefits to millions of Nigerians who rely on it daily.

The meeting between Governor Sani and Senator Umahi demonstrates the government’s focus on infrastructure development and its commitment to delivering key projects that support economic growth and national competitiveness. As work on the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Expressway project progresses, it is expected that the government will continue to prioritize its completion, ensuring that the project is finished to a high standard and on schedule.
