FEC approves N750bn for road projects

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a series of road projects worth over N750 billion across several states.

The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, disclosed this to State House correspondents on Monday, May 5, after the FEC meeting presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Umahi said the council approved the rescoping of multiple projects inherited from past administrations to align with current budgetary realities and funding availability.

Among the key approvals was the rescoping of the Akure-Eta-Ogbese-Ekiti border to Ikere-Ado-Ekiti road project, which spans Ondo and Ekiti states.

The original 18.4km dual carriageway was revised to 15km at a cost of N19.4 billion.

In line with FEC’s earlier directive to re-evaluate inherited contracts within available funding, the Ministry of Works also revised the Sokoto-Zamfara-Katsina-Kaduna road project.

Although initially awarded for N105 billion, the 375km stretch has now been rescoped to cover 82.4km along with six bridges, retaining the original budget figure.

Another project undergoing rescoping is the Maiduguri-Monguno Road in Borno State which was awarded in 2018 as a 105km project but now divided into two phases.

The first phase, covering 30km, has been approved at a cost of N21 billion, while the second phase will be presented to FEC upon completion of the first.

In Gombe State, the Cham-Numan section of the Gombe-Yola road in Adamawa has been rescoped and awarded at N9.25 billion for the first phase.
