Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello says the construction of the Idah-Nsukka road will open business and economic activities and provide job opportunities for youths of the state.
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) had on Wednesday approved the appointment of consultants to supervise the ongoing construction of the Bodo-Bonny Highway in Rivers State, as well as the construction of the Idah-Nsukka Road, linking Kogi and Enugu States, which will cost N27.067 billion.
A statement by his spokesperson on Thursday, Bello commended President Muhammadu Buhari and the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola for awarding such a “massive road project”.
Bello said the state government was ready to offer needed support to ensure the timely completion of the project for the benefit of the people.
He also called on the Federal Ministry of Works to expedite action to ensure quick completion of federal roads that have been awarded in the state.
