The Keffi–Nasarawa Road Project was originally awarded in 2018 by the previous administration. However, progress was slow due to funding challenges, with only about 3 kilometres achieved at the time.
Under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and through the strategic intervention of the Honourable Minister of Works, Sen. Engr. David Umahi, the project has been restructured and divided into two phases.
Phase One has been completed, as shown in the pictures, and is ready for commissioning. This section was constructed using asphalt pavement.
Phase Two has also been awarded and is currently ongoing. The phase covers Keffi–Nasarawa, Nasarawa–Toto and Toto–Abaji, including the extension to Abaji.
At present, construction work on Phase Two has progressed to the Gunki–Marmara axis, where the project is being executed with concrete pavement technology, unlike Phase One, which was constructed with asphalt.
Once fully completed, the project is expected to ease movement for commuters, improve road safety, reduce travel difficulties and strengthen connectivity between Keffi, Nasarawa, Toto, Abaji and surrounding communities.
This ongoing development reflects the Federal Government’s continued investment in critical road infrastructure under the Renewed Hope Administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with the supervision and intervention of the Minister of Works, Sen. Engr. David Umahi.
