Federal Government needs N15tr to execute 260 road projects, says Umahi

Umahi disclosed this at a press briefing in Abuja, noting that phase one of Lagos-Calabar Highway would be completed in May 2025, as the government has concluded the payment of compensation, while construction work has commenced.

Umahi further explained that constituent projects of the National Assembly constituted eight per cent of the ministry’s budget, adding that they inherited most of the ongoing road construction, which would soon be completed for Nigerians. “From today, mega road projects will be commissioned in every geopolitical zone. We are in a new situation, and we’ll not continue to do things in the way we are used to. So, we have to adopt a new policy, considering the reality on ground,” he remarked.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, yesterday, lamented that there is hunger in the land, stressing that the issues of local council autonomy, return to the old National Anthem and other non-essential issues should not be the priority of the country but how to make the country more productive to engender economic development.
