The Minister said “We must get a reputable consultant to supervise the road construction so that when the road fails, we can hold them accountable , something must be done to change from the present situation of how we construct our roads , our roads should be constructed on concrete, he made this remark while inspecting Phase II of Lokoja –Okene road in Kogi State.

Umahi has also directed that the Ministry should review the road works of CGC Construction Company and revert to his office within seven days , adding that every road being constructed must have a consultant because majority of the job done have all failed because they were not built with concrete.

He told some of the road contractors where he inspected that no one would increase contract price under him and a single lane must be followed to the end where the job is less than 50% on any ongoing dual carriageway under construction.

Some of the roads inspected on Sunday included the : Dualisation of Abuja -Lokoja Road Section II , Sheda – Abaji; Gada Biyu bridge bound 1 & 2 Lokoja ; Rehabilitation and Construction of Abuja -Lokoja Road ; Lokoja – Benin Road ; Okene –Auchi – Benin road (Kogi /Edo States ) ; Obajana Junction –Benin Road Section II ; dualisation of Auchi –Ehor Section II Benin Way and Agbor –Ewu road project in Uromi , Edo State .
