The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has said that President Bola Tinubu is committed to transforming Nigeria’s transportation network by prioritising critical road infrastructure.
Umahi stated this on Monday in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Orji Uchenna Orji.
According to him, the commitment is reflected in the initiation of four landmark legacy projects aimed at connecting key economic, agricultural, and industrial corridors across the country.
He highlighted the president’s visionary approach and passion for achieving tangible results.
The minister said that the four legacy projects—the 750-km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway; 1,068-km Sokoto-Badagry Super Highway; 482-km Calabar-Abuja Superhighway; and 439-km Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe Highway—represent unprecedented milestones in African infrastructure development.
Elaborating on the significance of the Calabar-Abuja Superhighway, a multi-lane route designed to enhance connectivity and economic integration, he said: “The Calabar-Ebonyi-Benue-Kogi-Nasarawa-Abuja Superhighway begins from the spur of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway in Cross River State, traverses Enugu, Abakaliki, and Ogoja (Trans-Saharan Highway) in Ebonyi State, and crosses Benue, Kogi (spanning River Benue at Bagana), and Nasarawa States, culminating in Apo, Abuja.”
