The Federal Government and Julius Berger are in a dispute over the N740.7 billion Section II Abuja-Kaduna road project. Minister of Works, Engr. Nweze David Umahi, gave Julius Berger a 7-day ultimatum to accept the reviewed contract sum or risk contract termination.
Umahi expressed disappointment over Julius Berger’s delay in mobilizing to the site despite approved funds, causing hardship for road users. The minister emphasized the need for realistic contract pricing, considering Nigeria’s economic challenges.
