The Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu has approved funds for the completion of two critical road projects in the country.

The first project involves the completion of the outstanding works on the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano road, specifically Section II Kaduna-Zaria, within 12 months.

This stretch of road is considered highly important, and its completion is expected to significantly improve connectivity and facilitate economic growth in the region.

In addition to this, the council approved the completion of the dualization of the Oyo-Ogbomoso road in Oyo State.

The project, which will be handled by Mssrs JRB Construction Co. Ltd, will cost N147,887,810,833.87 (billions).

The dualization of this road is expected to ease the pains being experienced by trailers moving goods and agricultural products from the North to Lagos, as well as improve the overall travel experience for road users, including students.

The completion of the Ibadan-Ilorin section of the road is also a key priority for President Tinubu, who is committed to ensuring that this critical transportation artery is fully functional and efficient.
