The Federal Executive Council yesterday approved N33 billion for the rehabilitation of the Bida-Lapai-Lambata road in Niger State.
The Minister of State for Power, Works and Housing, Mustapha Baba Shehuri, disclosed this to State House reporters after the cabinet meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The minister described the road as important as it links the Southwest to the northern part of the country.
“The road is about 123.9 kilometres. It costs N33 billion. It is the second road that connects southwest to the North,” he said.
Shehuri said the council also approved N224 million for extension of consultancy service for 215 megawatts power plant in Kudendan in Kaduna State.
The council also approved N6 billion for aviation equipment.
