The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has officially approved a substantial budget of N158 billion aimed at the construction of critical road infrastructure across the nation. This initiative is set to significantly improve connectivity and promote economic growth by enhancing transportation networks.
The approved funding will address key road projects that have been long overdue, facilitating better access to remote areas, improving trade routes, and reducing travel times. The Minister of Works and Housing expressed optimism about the project, stating, "This investment in our roads is not just about construction; it’s about connecting communities, boosting local economies, and enhancing the quality of life for our citizens."
This initiative aligns with the government’s broader strategy to revitalize infrastructure as a means to stimulate economic recovery and development. The Minister added, "By investing in our infrastructure, we are laying the groundwork for a more prosperous future."
The FEC's approval marks a pivotal step forward in addressing Nigeria's infrastructure challenges. The government is committed to ensuring that these projects are completed on time and within budget, with regular updates provided to the public.
