The federal government has terminated the 98km Oyo-Ogbomoso road contract previously awarded to Reynolds Construction Company (RCC).
Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, announced the decision on Thursday during a Federal Roads Stakeholders’ engagement in Ibadan.
Umahi stated that the project had been delayed for too long, prompting the government to take action.
He assured the public that the contract would soon be re-awarded to a new contractor to ensure swift completion.
The Oyo-Ogbomoso road is a crucial link in Nigeria’s transport network, and its delayed construction has caused frustration among commuters.
The government’s decision has sparked mixed reactions, with many hoping the new contractor will expedite the long-overdue project.
