How we applaud a government for doing the exact thing they're supposed to do with our funds is hilarious 😂

Dude isn't doing us a favour fgs

DeLaRue:
Great.

If subsidy had continued, some of these projects wouldn't have got off the ground.

Owon:
These governments are just SENSELESS AND/OR EVIL.

The most important project this country needs that will make it progressive is POWER (ELECTRICITY) and nothing more.

With electricity, a lot of other sectors will be fixed gradually.

The most important thing most Nigerians want is CONSTANT AND AFFORDABLE ELECTRICITY AND THIS NOT DIFFICULT FOR A SERIOUS AND SENSIBLE GOVERNMENT TO ACHIEVE WITH 2-4 YEARS.

All these useless project they're engaging in is just to steal more and will not really help the common man significantly.

Show me one among them that is in the North East. Shettima is useless

Don't worry, he's going to spoonfeed every Nigerian.

If Jonathan and Obasanjo were moving at this kind of pace, almost all the roads in Nigeria will be in a good condition by now

I wander why the NTA is not running a documentary on this projects

ClearFlair:
We thank God they did things differently. Imagine what hunger would have done to people

Xannadu:
He's doing remarkably well in many areas but most people will not want to publicly agree because that would betray their resolve to always criticise everything he does.

President Bola Tinubu’s administration, since assuming office in 2023, has focused on completing and expanding key road infrastructure across Nigeria.

While some of these projects began under previous administrations, the government has adjusted contracts, revised funding allocations, and set new timelines to accelerate their delivery.

Others have been newly awarded to improve connectivity, facilitate trade, and support regional development.

This article highlights 13 major road projects currently being executed under the Tinubu administration. While these are not the only ongoing projects, they represent significant infrastructure developments aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s transportation network.

The report outlines their scope, funding status, contractors, and projected completion timelines.

Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Dual Carriageway

The 164-kilometer Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano dual carriageway connects Abuja, Niger, Kaduna, and Kano states. Awarded to Julius Berger in 2017, the project stalled and remained incomplete until 2023.

In January 2024, Minister of Works David Umahi announced renewed efforts under President Bola Tinubu with a N20 billion monthly funding commitment. By March 2025, N17 billion had been released, with an additional N33 billion allocated.

The Federal Executive Council revised the project’s cost to N740.79 billion in September 2024 and approved N507 billion for the second section in March 2025. The road is now set for completion in 2026, easing transportation and boosting regional connectivity.


9th Mile-Oturkpo-Makurdi Road

The dualization of the 9th Mile-Oturkpo-Makurdi Road is a strategic project aimed at reducing travel time and improving connectivity between Enugu, Makurdi, Abuja, and northern Nigeria. In January 2024, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu authorized the release of funds for critical road projects nationwide, including this vital route.

The upgraded road will also provide an alternative cross-country link through Makurdi-Akwanga-Abuja, offering commuters greater convenience and a smoother travel experience. Once completed, the project is expected to boost regional trade, enhance logistics, and improve transportation efficiency across the country.

In a country with abundant fertile land, why are they jobless. Or are they lazy youths like yourself.

Go get a job, go get a life!

Hypocrisy is when you see white and swear it is black because of interest. The guy with the stolen mandate is working abi?

No govt in the history of Nigeria has done this type of projects at the same time. Imagine how Nigeria will be when all these projects are completed. Not to talk of the rail projects ongoing and the Abuja Lagos fastest tube train in Africa that will enable you travel by train from Lagos to Abuja in 2 -3 hours. The security of the roads will also be awarded to private companies who will use their own personnel and drones to ensure zero armed robbery or kidnap cases in any of the highways.

BAT has laid the foundation for the future Nigeria. If subsequent government can come in and build on it, Nigeria will surely take its place in the comity of nations.

But unfortunately our Ipobidients are blinded by this and their objective is not good governance or infrastructural development, but satisfying their sentiments. This is why they supported GEJ blindly despite the fact he did nothing for the SE or the country in 6 yrs. They also support PO who clearly was a failure in Anambra with no projects to show. They hate a Nyesom Wike who is unarguable the best political office holder in the history of Nigeria in terms of infrastructural development. They see his giant strides in Rivers and now Abj, but choose to turn a blind eye to it and support Fubara who is clueless.

Believe this lamba at your own peril. There's a reason it's not on mainstream media but sneaking through X and government papers and nairaland.

The one in my place was announced on FEC meeting last year. Nothing has been deployed to site till now. PMB also announced same road twice in 8 years and only did 20% with poor standard.
His successor has said he will continue from where he stopped and we know the results.

You want bandits to Kidnap construction workers?

Fufore – Gurin Road (N11.81 billion) Adamawa, Lamido Road (N7.68 billion) Taraba, JB Lamba Road in Adamawa state.

What's the name of the road?

That's not what I asked you. I asked you what kind of news you like?

For the records, these are the major roads famously regarded as the Legacy Projects, among the 468 road projects across the country earmarked for construction, repairs and maintenance. Most impressively among the fun facts is the longest stretch of road projects ever by any Administration. These roads is approximately, over 2900 km stretch cumulatively, a bit less than 3,000km. These Projects cut across all the geopolitical regions as much as it would expand social economic growth of Nigerians with a corresponding growth in GDP.
By the time David Umahi's term is complete, I don't think there will be a debate or controversy in the Senate as to whether he deserves to be immortalized or not. The result speaks for itself.
