Buhari Approves N1.5trn For Construction, Rehabilitation Of Over 700km Roads by peekspot(m): 10:19pm On Apr 19, 2023

The federal executive council (FEC) has approved the sum of N1.535 trillion for the construction and rehabilitation of eleven roads across the country.

The construction would be enabled under the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) tax credit scheme.

Speaking on Wednesday after the council meeting, Babatunde Fashola, the minister of works and housing, said over N1.5 trillion would be spent on some major roads in Nigeria, totalling over 700 kilometres linking 11 states.

The states include Edo, Delta, Kano, Kaduna, Borno and Adamawa among others.

“The council gave approval for the construction and rehabilitation of 11 roads totalling 737.242 kilometres in the sum of N1, 535, 154, 247, 234.48 under phase II of the NNPC tax credit scheme,” Fashola said.

“Recall that in January this year, the council approved a memo for the NNPC to invest N1.9 trillion on our roads. That amount was then about 44 roads that had been awarded and the balance of those roads that had to go through procurement between then and now are the 11 that have now been approved by the council.”

In a report by TheCable, Fashola said in November 2022 that NNPC Limited has released N196 billion for roads under the tax credit scheme out of the N662 billion approved by the FEC.

He added that the ministry needed N1.2 trillion for the execution of highway projects, but only N198.9 billion has been allocated under the budget envelope in 2023 for the roads.

The way Ministers are struggling to clear projects and get their kickback money before leaving is mind bugling.

Suddenly the man in Abuja is now installing Chinese traffic light few weeks to departure. I’m sure if we hear the amount being spent on those lights , one ll go gaga

Just 700Km? Azin 2.5 Billion naira per kilometre? undecided
Only in Nigeria them dey use 2.5 billion naira build 1Km of road, thieves. Last time I checked, there are 774 local governments in Nigeria... That money go reach to build World standard secondary schools in almost every local government in Nigeria, fitted with Inoson school buses and State of the art facilities. But no, Nigerian government head no dey reach there. Na how to embezzle be their own

I was Shocked to my Bone Marrow recently when I saw the Makurdi to Enugu(9th Mile) Road. The only interstate Federal High Way With Single Lane Damaged beyond Human Imagination. Some Parts of this Country is too Segregated to be Frank. Food Items truly needs to be expensive in the East because nobody will drive his luggage from the North on the Eye Sore Road and Sell it Cheap for You. Nigeria should do something Seriously about that Federal Road.

Why is NNPC incurring losses since Ibe Kachikwu left and nobody is being made to answer?

Why are they taking money from NNPC to pay for projects approved?

How come NNPC is more interested in financing projects instead of having a functional refinery?

What is wrong with this country and those who run it?

Road construction is one Big format in Buhari administration.

No people's development strategy.

This government just want the youths to stay alive regardless.

As far as I am concerned, asking NNPC to use funds that should have paid into the consolidated revenue of the whole federation to build federal roads is illegal and the State Governments with empty heads as Attorney General don't understand why their revenue is going down every day. NNPC belongs to the Federal Government and the 36 States because they manage Nigeria's oil and gas assets admittedly with other IOCs.
Whatever revenue NNPC makes is the revenue of the entire federation must be paid in full into the federation account for sharing by FG, States and LGAs. Now asking NNPC to use part of what should have gone to the purse of the entire country to build federal roads is like someone who was given money to share with u, deducting part of it to pay his house rent before bringing the balance to the table. Daylight robbery.

The Nigerian masses have really been exploited for so long.

They did not add when the road construction will commence and when it will be completed.
