The Federal Government has introduced a new policy requiring road contractors to work on-site for at least two weeks before receiving mobilisation fees.
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, announced this during an inspection of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Dual Carriageway, as contained in a statement published on the ministry’s website on Sunday.
Umahi explained that the policy aims to ensure that only committed contractors handle Nigeria’s road projects, thereby reducing cases of abandoned construction sites.
