'Kwara spends N7.2b on Federal road'

Date: 2013-09-17

The Kwara State Government yesterday urged the Federal Government to approve its request to intervene on the reconstruction of the Kaiamma-Kishi Road, which goes across the state and Oyo.

It also called for the Federal Government's prompt reimbursement of the state government on the N7.2 billion it spent on the project.

The Commissioner for Works and Transport, Abubakar Kannike, spoke in Ilorin, the state capital, during the inauguration of the 20th National Council on Works.

Kannike estimated the Federal Government's indebtedness to the state on road rehabilitation at N5.5 billion.

He said: "The state government has continued to intervene on federal roads in the state in the spirit of shared prosperity of the Kwara State Government. For instance, about N8 billion was committed to the Oyo State boundary-Chinkanda (125.8 kilometres) road alone of which about N2.5 billion was refunded about three years ago.

"Other roads intervened or being intervened on include: Pategi-Kpada-Kogi State boundary road; South-link road, Ilorin; Kulende to Oyun, Ilorin; Post Office to Michael Imoudu Road; Omu-Aran-Landmark University Road and Orhan Bridge on the Ilorin-Igbeti road..."
