The House of Representatives on Thursday suspended a move by the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, to divert from asphalt to the use of concrete for construction of roads across Nigeria.
The lawmaker further noted that there was a “need to investigate the adoption of concrete technology for road construction in Nigeria” particularly its comparative advantages and disadvantages over asphalt which may alter technical specifications and breach contracts since there have been ongoing road projects before Umahi’s ministerial appointment.
