The Abuja-Kano Road will not be completed
Published 17 January 2021
As you have probably heard, the Muhammadu Buhari government will now complete the reconstruction of the 375km Abuja-Kano Road (AKR) Project in 2023.
One week ago, Funso Adebiyi, a Director of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, made the announcement, the story being either too hot or too cold for the Minister, Babatunde Fashola, to handle by himself. He was last seen in a crime scene in Lagos playing Sherlock Holmes, handling a vital piece of evidence that had been invisible to the ordinary human eye.
AKR is not just another road. It is part of the A2 highway, the second of the nation’s four federal highways that run North-South. Like almost every government project in Nigeria, AKR was in a poor shape when Buhari took office in 2015.
