President Bola Tinubu has given approval for 27 road projects valued at more than N3.9 trillion, with the Federal Government set to execute major highway, bridge and rehabilitation works across 15 states.

The Minister of Works, David Umahi, announced after Monday’s Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.

Addressing journalists at the State House, Umahi said the projects span Adamawa, Benue, Cross River, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Niger, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Taraba and Yobe states. He noted that the investment is expected to strengthen road infrastructure and improve movement of people and goods.

According to the minister, the approvals include major highways, bridge construction, road rehabilitation, dual carriageways and flyover projects that form part of the administration’s broader infrastructure agenda.

Umahi further revealed that the council approved the business case for the operation and maintenance concession of the Lagos Ibadan Expressway while directing contractors to reconstruct failed portions of the Ibadan axis with concrete pavement.
