The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has said that concrete technology is
an innovation by the present administration aimed at solving the problem of
road failure.
The
minister, who stated this during a visit to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi
State, said the use of concrete technology on Nigerian roads had become necessary
in view of the peculiarity of the soil texture of parts of the country.
Umahi, in a
statement by his media aide, Orji Uchenna Orji, said concrete pavement had been
proven to have advantages of energy efficiency, low maintenance and durability,
as well as being a good insulator and a choice in regulating temperature in
both hot and cold environments.
The governor
thanked the minister for being innovative in the execution of federal road
projects.
