Following complaints in the media over the poor state of the road, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN), requested for a status update, which showed that the rehabilitation work on the 82km road from Makurdi-Gboko (Yandev Roundabout) was not funded because previous budgets did not accommodate it

Fashola, who spoke at the 35th Annual General Meeting of Shelter Afrique in Abuja, said in order to meet the real demand of the majority of Nigerians in housing, it was not only necessary but expedient to embark on proper planning, adding that it is the key to project completion, cost control and reduction in variation requests as well as financial calculations

It is also no longer news that 3 (Three) Ministries or areas of critical public service of Power, Works and Housing have been merged into 1 (One) under the superintending authority of myself as substantive Minister and Mustapha Baba Shehuri (Honourable Minister of State) with 2 (Two) new Permanent Secretaries, Engr. Abubabar Magaji, redeployed from the Ministry of Interior to Works and Housing; and Mr. Louis Edozien from the private sector to assist us
