Magaji Commends Bago and Idris on Niger Highway Project

Suleiman Abubakar Magaji, the North Central zonal youth coordinator of the City Boy Movement, commended Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago and Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris Malagi for their efforts in developing the state. This recognition occurred during the flag-off and groundbreaking ceremony for the Lambata–Bida–Mokwa–Makera–Kontagora Federal Highway in Bida.

The highway project, valued at ₦1.5 trillion, spans a 376-kilometre corridor and is set for reconstruction and dualisation using reinforced concrete. Magaji emphasized the importance of cooperation between federal and state stakeholders for infrastructure and economic development.

He noted that the highway would improve transportation links, access to markets, and facilitate agricultural produce movement in Niger State. Magaji also acknowledged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the project and stressed the need for quality construction and effective supervision to ensure the project's success and its benefits for the community.
