Speaking with journalists after the federal executive council (FEC) meeting at the presidential villa on Wednesday, Bello said an error in the design of the road delayed its construction.
The road which is about 13 kilometers was awarded in 2011 to Kakatar Engineering Limited, a company owned by Azibaola Robert, a cousin of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Commuters around Nyanya, Karu and Karshi axis of the FCT have had to endure traffic congestion on a daily basis.

“The Karshi-Apo road is a project that should have been delivered by now. One of the main challenges faced in that road has to do with error in the design whereby a huge rock outcrop on the alignment of the road corridor became very difficult to be able to arrange,” the minister said.
