As mentioned earlier, no geopolitical zones are left out in development of the country. Projects abound in every zone and every state of the federation.
However, only the major infrastructural projects will be considered in this post. Some are ongoing while some have been completed.

Buhari's Administration Projects in South East Nigeria:

1. Rehabilitation of Sections 1 to 4 of the Enugu — Port Harcourt Expressway (Sukuk Bond) (ongoing)
