Works and housing minister Tunde Fashola says President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime is constructing no fewer than 83 internal roads across the nation’s tertiary institutions.
He disclosed this on Wednesday at the inauguration and handing over of a 1.8km reconstructed road project at Federal University Birnin Kebbi (FUBK).
The project is one of the regime’s investments in education to provide access roads and ensure a conducive learning environment.
The minister said, “We have successfully intervened in 64 internal road projects in the tertiary federal institutions and handed over a total of 64 as of March 2022. We now have another 18 ready to be handed over, while we are currently attending to 19 roads in similar institutions across the country, making a total of 83.”
Mr Fashola added, “While it is true that a lot of work needs to be done in many sectors of our national life, including education, the Buhari government has stepped to lead the process of getting that work done.”
He noted with satisfaction that the gap in infrastructure needs was steadily being bridged by a gradual process of repairs, renewal and construction on major highways, and it had reached the schools.
