Tinubu Approves Suleja–Minna Road Reconstruction

Mohammed Sani Musa, the Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, praised President Bola Tinubu for approving the long-awaited reconstruction of the Suleja–Minna road. This decision, announced in a Senate statement on Wednesday night, is seen as a major boost for economic development and security in Niger State and the wider North Central region.

The reconstruction of this critical road, along with two other federal roads in Niger State, will involve reinforcing concrete pavement to ensure durability. The Suleja–Minna highway serves as a vital link to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and has deteriorated significantly, posing serious challenges for motorists and traders.

Musa emphasized that this timely intervention will enhance safety, improve commercial activities, and create job opportunities during the construction phase. He acknowledged the role of Niger State Governor Umaru Bago in advocating for the project and expressed optimism that the reconstruction will strengthen connections between Niger State and the FCT, stimulating trade and investment.
