FG SIGNS MAJOR ROAD CONTRACTS TO BOOST CONNECTIVITY, ECONOMIC GROWTH — UMAHI

 

The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Works, has signed contract agreements with four construction firms for major road projects across the country under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The projects include the reconstruction of the Mando–Birnin Gwari Road in Kaduna State, dualisation of the Ibadan–Ijebu Ode Road linking Oyo and Ogun States, and the construction of the Osogbo–Ikirun–Akoda and Osogbo–Iwo–Ibadan roads in Osun and Oyo States.

Speaking during the signing ceremony in Abuja, the Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, described the projects as strategic investments aimed at improving transportation, boosting economic activities, and strengthening national integration.

Umahi stated that the projects reflect the administration’s commitment to delivering durable infrastructure through the use of reinforced concrete pavement technology.

He directed contractors to immediately mobilize to site and ensure timely delivery of the projects.

The Ministry noted that the projects are expected to improve connectivity, support economic growth, and modernize Nigeria’s road network.
