The Federal Government has approved the reaward of two critical bypasses on the 2nd Niger Bridge, linking the Asaba-Benin and Enugu-Onitsha dual carriageways.
The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, made the disclosure while receiving a delegation from the South-South Caucus of the 10th Assembly, Federal House of Representatives on Thursday.
He further disclosed that the government has also approved the commencement of Section III of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway from the Cross River-Akwa Ibom axis, alongside accelerated attention to the long-delayed East-West Road project.
Umahi acknowledged the caucus’ strong commitment to collaborating with the Federal Ministry of Works in support of the Renewed Hope administration’s transformative agenda.
He emphasised that the government remains determined to reverse decades of infrastructural decay and deficiencies in Nigeria’s road network.
“I want to commend Mr. President very highly for the courage behind this project. The four legacy projects of Mr. President are the icing on the cake.”
