\u201cThe quality of work delivered so far reflects the president\u2019s unwavering commitment to national development through robust infrastructure,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the durability of the construction, Goronyo remarked, \u201cWhat we are seeing here is superb. The reinforced rigid pavement is expected to last 50 to 100 years, superior to conventional asphalt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robert Turner, Project Manager for the construction firm, assured that no compromises were being made. \u201cThere are no shortcuts. We are giving our very best to achieve the project\u2019s goals,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Works, Engr. Olufunsho O. Adebiyi, highlighted the necessity of rigid pavement technology for Nigeria\u2019s soil conditions and heavy traffic loads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRigid pavement is new to Nigeria, but it has become necessary due to the consistent failure of flexible pavements under our local conditions,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
