FCT, Abuja – Following the signing of agreements between Infiouest International Limited and the Ministry of Works yesterday, the President Bola Tinubu-led administration has officially commenced the process of constructing the Calabar-Abuja Superhighway.
The agreement, sealed in Abuja by the Ministry and representatives of the company, entails Section I of the Calabar-Ebonyi-Benue-Kogi-Nasarawa-Apo (Abuja) Superhighway.
The section will begin at a point on the Enugu-Abakaliki-Ogoja Highway (part of the Africa Trans-Sahara route), traverse Cross River, Benue, Kogi, and Nasarawa states, and terminate in Apo, Abuja, the Federal Capital City (FCT).
Section 1 of the 118.85-kilometer project involves the reconstruction of the existing road, which comprises jointed asphalt concrete and laterite-surfaced pavements.
The superhighway joins a growing list of infrastructural renewal projects embarked upon by the Renewed Hope administration following the commencement of works on Sokoto-Badagry, Lagos-Calabar Highways.
Work is also expected to commence on the Lagos-Abuja super highway soon.
