In a significant move to enhance Nigeria’s road infrastructure, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved contracts worth N660 billion for the construction and rehabilitation of federal highways across the country.
The announcement was made by Nigerian Stories via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, signaling the government’s commitment to improving road networks and boosting economic activities.
While details of the specific highways covered under the contracts are yet to be fully disclosed, the massive investment is expected to address critical road challenges, enhance transportation efficiency, and foster national development.
This approval aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s push for infrastructural renewal, with road development being a key pillar of his economic agenda. Experts say the injection of such a significant sum into the highway sector could create jobs, ease trade, and improve connectivity across states.
Stay tuned for more updates as further details emerge on the specific road projects, contractors, and timelines for execution.
