The federal government has approved the sum of N829.8 million as revised estimated cost for the rehabilitation of a road linking Anambra and Enugu states.

The minister of state for works and housing, Umar El-Yakub disclosed this to State House correspondents after the federal executive council meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa.

According to him, a contract for the rehabilitation of the road was originally awarded in 2018 because it is a strategic inter-state road that had heavy traffic. He said the project is expected to be completed in six months.
