The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved over N5 billion for various contracts in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Katsina airports.<\/p>\n

The meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Wednesday also approved the dualisation of the Odukpani-Itu-Ikot Ekpene road at the cost of N79.6 billion.<\/p>\n

Special adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, and the Minister of Works, Babatunde Fashola, revealed this while briefing State House correspondents on decisions reached by the Council at the weekly cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n

Mr Adesina said: \u201cThe Minister of Aviation presented a memo for the approval of the award of contracts at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos, Nnnamdi Azikiwe international airport Abuja, Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano and Katsina Airport in Katsina State.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Lagos, it is for the expansion of the terminal building at domestic terminal GAT for the sum of N2, 817, 579, 271.99. For the Katsina airport, it is for the expansion of the airport\u2019s apron awarded at N527, 353, 095.12.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is also the expansion of Lagos cargo apron areas awarded at N1,982. 943, 242.31.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil also approved the expansion of Abuja domestic apron areas at N795, 976, 947.34 and also the expansion of Kano apron area at the cost of N1, 059, 120, 254.37,\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Adesina said when completed, the contracts would go a long way in improving air transportation network in the country.<\/p>\n

Mr Fashola<\/a> revealed that the Council approved the dualisation of the Odukpani-Itu-Ikot Ekpene road at the cost of N79.649 billion.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, the approved contract is in relation to the section from Oku Iboku Power Plant to Abak of about 26 kilometre stretch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry of Works and Housing presented the memorandum for the completion of the dualization of the Odukpani-Itu-Ikot Ekpene road. And this is in relation to the section from Oku Iboku Power Plant to Abak of about 26 kilometre stretch.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil approved the award to Messers Sematech Nigeria Ltd for N79.649 billion to be executed over 16 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, this will help complete the dualization gaps between the one awarded to Julius Berger and the section awarded to CCECC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen this is done, motorists in that area will now have an option of the dual carriageway instead of the existing single carriageway.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this is in recognition of the heavy cargo that passes through that area from the South-South through to the North Central, Benue through Katsina Ala through to the South East to Abia. It\u2019s very very important trade link for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked to give an update on the 2020 contract award for the same project, Mr Fashola expressed regret that there had been paucity of funds to implement the project.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOkay, first of all, it\u2019s important for us to have a common understanding of the area \u2013 that is the rain forest area of Nigeria, mangrove areas, very high water table and rains in seven, eight months of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, when we awarded the first section, from Odukpani-Itu to Julius Berger in 2016, they could not move to site because of the limited budgetary requisitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, that slowed down work in that area and they didn\u2019t move to site until 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the second section, which was from Abak to Ikot Ekpene was awarded in last year, February 2020. We have had to mobilise some Sukuk resources to the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometime last year, you might recall that I was there visiting with the governor, I actually went twice and we focused first on the link road from Alese Ugep area because that was a very big bad one, that one used to take like, three, four days to traverse a 70 kilometer road.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, we have that under control, resolved, motorable in the first phase to Odukpani. That has reduced the journey time there to less than two hours, from days. So, again, it\u2019s a work in progress.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

On the recent collapsed of a section of the Lokoja-Kabba road, the minister attributed the incident to natural causes.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAs we go through the rainy season, this is the context in which to locate the Lokoja-Kabba.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a failure caused by nature and aging. And, again, an opportunity to share with you what we have. We expect that these things will happen, but we don\u2019t know where it will happen every time.\u201d<\/p>\n

While noting that his ministry was often unable to respond to such failures, he called for a contingency maintenance fund, which he said should have a sizable amount.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we\u2019ve been proposing that Nigeria should have an emergency provision in the works budget, but we haven\u2019t been successful enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere must be a contingency, a sizable sum, because when we see failures, last year, we had a problem like that in Kebbi, where roads were washed away.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t respond because we didn\u2019t have the resources. But we will lean on FERMA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, traditionally back in Lagos when I was governor, I think we used to provide about five per cent of our capital expenditure as a contingency fund for emergencies. Something between three and five per cent varies across the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
