FG Sets  Deadline for payment of Contractors

The Federal Government has promised to clear all verified road-contractor debts by December 20, Works Minister David Umahi said after reopening the repaired Keffi Flyover.

This follows protests over alleged N760bn unpaid funds from a reported N4tn debt. Umahi said President Tinubu has set up a committee to verify claims and ordered immediate payment.

He also disclosed that the ICPC and EFCC will audit all federal road projects to ensure transparency, while new reforms—including an online project-tracking system—are being rolled out.
