Tinubu aprove fund for completion of Kaduna-Abuja highway

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved N733 billion for the completion of four major road projects inherited from the previous administration.

The projects include the completion of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano road, the dualisation of Section Two of the Ibadan-Ilorin road, the dualisation of the Odupani-Itu-Idedem Item road, and the construction of a flyover at Abakpa, bordering the 82 Division in Enugu.

Minister of Works David Umahi announced the approvals while briefing State House correspondents after FEC’s third meeting of the year on Monday, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria.

He stated that the decision followed a rigorous review process to ensure the projects align with the government’s current infrastructure priorities.
