The Federal Government has approved ambitious nationwide road and bridge projects totalling N2.38 trillion, marking a major push to overhaul Nigeria’s infrastructure. Details of contracts above N10 billion will be released state by state in the coming weeks, according to Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, after Thursday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa.

Major Contract Approvals

Key contracts approved include:

  • Abuja Road Section I: 118km at N286 billion.
  • Abuja Road Section II: 164km at N502 billion.
  • Abuja–Kano Road: 72km at N450 billion.
  • Nembe Bridge: N156 billion.
  • Sokoto–Badagry Corridor (Section 2 to Kebbi): 228km, three lanes at N961 billion.

Cash flow commitments confirm federal seriousness: 30% of the contract sums—N75 billion for Abuja Section I, N150 billion for Section II, N45 billion for Abuja–Kano, and N46.8 billion for the Nembe Bridge—have already been released, cumulatively totalling roughly N316.8 billion. The Nembe Bridge, with 30% funding disbursed, is expected to significantly ease costly river crossings in the oil-rich Niger Delta.

Additionally, fresh funds have gone to the Bauchi–Gombe sections and other major highways, while Sukuk bonds support ongoing works in Gombe.

Upgrades and Variations

Two contract adjustments topped the news:

  • The Lagos–Shagamu–Ijebu-Ode–Ore project received N11.42 billion extra, raising its budget due to scope changes; in Niger State, N8.94 billion has been added for a binder crossing and a new bridge.
  • In Borno and Adamawa, the Biu–Numan Road, initially 45km at N15.4 billion, was reviewed to N61.76 billion, maintaining the 45km stretch.

Strategic Projects Underway

  • Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway: Now over 70% complete and expected to finish by January 2026, the first section is 85% ready and will soon be tolled for returns on investment. About 40km passes through Ogun State and another 40km through Ondo, totaling 80.53km (six lanes) at N1.65 trillion. Construction involves raising the ground by five meters to beat recurrent flooding.
  • Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway: Part of a 1,058km, three-lane dual carriageway, designed as a modern trade and logistics corridor to boost growth, regional trade, and security. 120km have been completed in Sokoto, while Kebbi boasts major work on both carriageways, together consuming nearly N2 trillion in outlays.
  • Keffi Flyover: In response to last week’s tragic collapse, which killed two and injured two more, the government has begun urgent reconstruction, set a 30-day deadline for full repairs, compensated affected families, and closed the bridge section for public safety.

Economic Impact

Minister Umahi emphasized that these projects are designed to cut logistical costs, connect more states, and turbocharge state GDP. Projects like the Lagos–Calabar highway have already started benefiting the Lagos economy, while infrastructural corridors such as the Sokoto–Badagry superhighway will feature solar lighting, CCTV, and state-of-the-art trade promotion facilities.

What’s Next?

The Ministry of Works will soon publish a granular, state-by-state breakdown of all projects above the N10 billion mark, ensuring transparency and accountability for this unprecedented infrastructure rollout.
