Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has granted immediate approval for the reconstruction of three federal roads in Niger State, as well as the extension of the Bodo–Bonny Road to link with the East–West Road in Rivers State.
The approval was given during a meeting with the Minister of Works, David Umahi.
The three roads in Niger State will be reconstructed using reinforced concrete pavement to ensure durability and long-term service. They include:
- Mokwa–Bida Road (120 km)
- Mokwa–Makeri Road (63 km)
- Bida–Labata Road (123.5 km)
Meanwhile, the Bodo–Bonny Road extension will be executed as a dual carriageway, constructed with concrete pavement, and fitted with solar-powered street lighting to improve safety and visibility.
The projects are part of the federal government’s commitment to enhancing transportation infrastructure and connectivity across key regions of Nigeria.
