The Federal Executive Council on Thursday approved contracts for road and bridge projects worth over N7tn, comprising 10 major projects spanning all six geopolitical zones.
Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, who announced the approvals to State House correspondents after the FEC meeting, also disclosed a separate roll of major road projects ready for inauguration ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s third anniversary in office on May 29.
Thursday’s approvals are the single largest batch of road project approvals the Tinubu-led FEC has approved in one sitting.
According to Umahi, three additional road projects were approved.
They include the dualisation of the Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road in Oyo and Ogun states, which runs 56 kilometres by two, for N295bn to be constructed by Julius Berger; the Oshogbo-Akoda-Gbongan Road in Osun State (59.2 kilometres, N101bn); and the Oshogbo-Iwo-Ibadan Road in Osun State (90.9 kilometres, N114bn).
