Bola Tinubu has approved the immediate reconstruction of three federal roads in Niger State and the extension of the Bodo–Bonny Road to connect with the East–West Road in Rivers State.
The approval was granted during a meeting with the Minister of Works, David Umahi.
The three road projects in Niger State — Mokwa–Bida Road (120km), Mokwa–Makeri Road (63km), and Bida–Labata Road (123.5km) — will be reconstructed using reinforced concrete pavement to ensure durability and long-term value.
The extension of the Bodo–Bonny Road, which will link to the East–West Road, will be executed as a dual carriageway. The project will also be built with concrete pavement and fitted with solar-powered street lighting to enhance safety and sustainability.
