Muhammed Idris Inspects Ebonyi-Calabar Section Of Trans-Saharan Superhighway by Pakute(op): 6:30pm On Aug 18, 2025

The Federal Government says the Calabar-Ebonyi Trans-Saharan Superhighway, when completed, will unlock economic opportunities, boost regional integration and enhance connectivity across different regions of the country.

Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris disclosed this when he led the Federal Government delegation on the inspection of projects in Abakaliki on Friday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Idris went to see the ongoing work on the 118km Calabar–Ebonyi section of the Trans-Saharan Superhighway alongside media heads in the Information Ministry.

The Superhighway is being constructed by Infouest Nigeria Ltd at a cost of ₦445 billion with a rigid concrete pavement.

The minister described the superhighway as “one of the signature projects” being implemented under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

“The construction of the 700-metre, 12-span bridge on the superhighway will address decades-long flooding challenges in the N’dibe Beach area and restore access for affected communities.

“This project when completed, will connect Calabar, Ebonyi, Benue, Nasarawa, and Abuja and unlock economic opportunities, boost regional integration and enhance connectivity and prosperity across different regions of the country.

“For the first time, Ebonyi State is hosting multiple major federal government projects simultaneously; a testament to the administration’s commitment to equitable development,” Idris said.

He urged contractors to uphold quality and expedite delivery, assuring citizens that the government remained focused on infrastructure that tangibly improved lives and livelihoods across the country.

NAN reports that the Minister and his team were in the South-East for a project tour and citizens engagement with the people of the region especially Enugu and Ebonyi.

Another of the legacy projects taking shape gradually. Along with Lagos-Calabar, Sokoto-Badagry, Lagos-Kano light rail, Eastern light rail. Others are Bodo-Bonny, East-West road, a lot more others.
Tinubu wants to turn Nigeria into Disneyland, I see Hollywood coming to Nigeria to shoot movies in the next ten years after the completion of all of these.

Are you saying that tinubu equates Nigeria?

Before tinubu, was there no Nigeria?

Is love or hatred for tinubu the yardstick for measuring hatred or love for Nigeria?

That's good. However, more details are needed to gauge whether there's progress or not. For example, showing us a 1km stretch of stone base for a project of 100km which has expended 20 percent of its duration, will show that the work is off track.

I'm saying all these because I've seen some PR bots who go around snapping or videoing short stretches of road and deceiving the public

Believe me, I give up on all these enemies of progress in Nigeria.

Tinubu has been showing workings left, right and center but these people are always very sad each time they hear or read them in the media. they either call it propaganda or they say it will be abandoned.

It is now I see reasons why Tinubu treats them as if they don't exist because he already knows them, they never appreciates anything but he continues working he is not bothered.

What are they like it or not, there is no vacancy in Aso Rock so they should keep willing.

As e dey sweet us e dey pain them. This is another legacy infrastructure that will make life easier for them and even boost their economy, but no, they have not seen anything done by this administration.

They will never see!
