Mother Cat Assures Quality, Timely Completion of N6.5bn Misau Road Project
By Khalid Idris Doya
The contractors handling the dualisation of the 7.5-kilometre Misau township road project, valued at N6.5 billion, have assured that the work will be completed and delivered by the end of 2025.
Site Engineer Nicholas David of Mother Cat Construction gave the assurance on the weekend while briefing journalists during a project assessment tour led by the Bauchi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Hon. Usman Shehu Usman.
According to him, the project has surpassed 50 percent completion, an indication that it is progressing steadily in line with the contractual timeline.
He stressed that the company is committed to quality delivery, noting, "As you can see, we are doing our best. More than half has been completed, and work is ongoing on the remaining portion."
David explained that earlier variations in the contract sum were caused by fluctuations in the prices of construction materials but noted that prices have now stabilised, making further variations unnecessary.
Also speaking, a supervisor from the State Ministry of Works and Transport, Engr. Mohammed Babagana, commended the quality of work being delivered by the contractors.
He confirmed that over half of the project has been executed and reiterated that the adjustment of the contract sum to N6.5 billion was necessitated by inflation in building materials.
Babagana highlighted that although the road is a federal highway, the state government took on the project to reduce accidents and ease traffic flow within Misau town.
Commissioner Usman Shehu Usman said the Misau dualisation project reflects the people-oriented approach of Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed's administration.
He added that the media tour was designed to showcase the government's developmental strides since 2019 and raise public awareness of ongoing projects across the state.
