President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered a massive rehabilitation of dilapidated roads across the country.
The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi said President Tinubu is aware of the state of the Nigerian road infrastructure which he inherited on May 29, 2023, saying that he has directed that rehabilitation work commence immediately on the roads for easier and smoother movement of men and goods to save quality man hour lost to the poor state of the roads.
Some of the roads include the Makurdi-Nsukka 9th Mile Road, East-West Road, Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, Benin bypass road, collapsed bridges of Enugu- Port Harcourt road, collapsed bridges of Shandam-Plateau State, Abuja-Kaduna- Zaria-Kano road and Gombe- Bauchi among several others.
Umahi, in a statement on Monday, noted that despite inheriting an N6 trillion deficit in road infrastructure, President Tinubu is not complaining but rather determined to confront the challenge headlong.
