President Bola Tinubu has approved the immediate reconstruction of three federal roads in Niger State, along with 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 will be reconstructed using reinforced concrete pavement to ensure durability and long-term value. The roads include the Mokwa–Bida Road (120km), Mokwa–Makeri Road (63km), and Bida–Labata Road (123.5km).
The extension of the Bodo–Bonny Road will be executed as a dual carriageway to improve connectivity with the East–West corridor. The project is also expected to be constructed with concrete pavement and equipped with solar-powered street lighting to enhance safety and sustainability.
