The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has mentioned the Federal Government is executing 5,500 kilometres of latest and ongoing road projects throughout the nation, with Niger State accounting for 1,055 kilometres.
He disclosed this on Tuesday through the flag-off of the reconstruction and dualisation of the Lambata-Bida-Mokwa-Makera-Kontagora Federal Highway in Bida, Niger State.
Umahi described the freeway mission as a serious part of President Bola Tinubu’s infrastructure improvement agenda, noting that its scale, bolstered concrete pavement know-how and the involvement of the Dangote Group below the Federal Government’s infrastructure tax-credit scheme may make it the administration’s fifth legacy road mission.
He mentioned the mission would enhance connectivity inside Niger State and strengthen hyperlinks between the North-Central area and different components of the nation.
He added that the federal government remained dedicated to enhancing road infrastructure throughout all geopolitical zones, disclosing that 162 kilometres of roads and 115 metres of bridges had been accomplished within the North-Central area.
He recommended the Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, for his dedication to infrastructure improvement, saying the governor had constructed greater than 300 kilometres of roads, over 5 flyovers and an underpass. Umahi praised Bago for prioritising improvement no matter whether or not roads fell below federal or state authorities jurisdiction, attributing the infrastructure investments recorded throughout states to the financial reforms launched by the Tinubu administration.
In his remarks, the Governor of Niger State, Umaru Bago, described the freeway as a serious intervention on a strategic transportation route connecting communities and facilitating the motion of individuals and items.
He thanked the President for approving main road projects within the state and pledged that Niger State would ship the very best variety of votes nationwide for Tinubu within the subsequent election, citing the Federal Government’s infrastructure investments within the state.
