Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, announced that the government has completed 348 kilometres of road projects in the region, with another 1,811 kilometres partially completed.

The Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano highway, a major transportation corridor, has seen significant progress, with 118 kilometres of Lot 1 completed. Other ongoing projects include the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway and the Sokoto-Zamfara-Zaria dual carriageway, among others.
