Tinubu Revives 70-Year-Old South-East Road Projects
During a tour in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, former governor Dave Umahi disclosed that road projects in the South-East, conceptualized over 70 years ago during the colonial era, are being actualized under President Bola Tinubu's administration. The Trans-Saharan Superhighway is a strategic project aimed at connecting the South-East, South-South, and North-Central regions.
The project, which spans 118 kilometers, has a contract sum of 45 billion naira, with ongoing work reported at 28% completion despite rainy conditions. The use of concrete road technology, pioneered by President Tinubu, is expected to catalyze trade in agricultural products.
Umahi expressed gratitude for the infrastructural developments in the region, which include the construction of critical bridges and highways. Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State emphasized the state's safety and ongoing projects aimed at improving rural infrastructure, health centers, and water schemes, while rallying support for Tinubu's second term.
