The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved major road projects spanning 11 states, with a total value of N3.94 trillion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The approvals were granted at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu <\/a>at the State House, Abuja.<\/span><\/p>\n

Briefing State House Correspondents after the meeting, the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, said the Council ratified earlier approvals and took fresh decisions on various road projects involving construction, rehabilitation, dualisation, and concession arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Umahi also drew attention to the deteriorating condition of the completed Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, particularly the Julius Berger-executed section on the Ibadan axis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ibadan axis is failing very badly. If you go there, it is rotting and folding. It is very dangerous for vehicular movement,\u201d Umahi said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that President Tinubu <\/a>directed the ministry to follow due process to concession the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway for operation and maintenance, with the failed Ibadan approach to be reconstructed using reinforced concrete technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

The projects are expected to significantly improve connectivity, boost economic activities, and address critical infrastructure deficits across the benefiting states.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n
