Minister of Works Dave Umahi says President Bola Tinubu is reviving abandoned road projects in Nigeria’s South-East. Umahi describes the effort as part of ongoing government actions aimed at improving infrastructure and supporting economic activity in the region. He highlights the Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue Trans-Saharan Superhighway as a flagship project expected to connect parts of the South-East and South-South with the North-Central area.
Both reports attribute the claims to Umahi and present the Trans-Saharan Superhighway as a key example of the projects being addressed. The outlets do not provide detailed timelines, contract awards, or funding figures, but they indicate that the administration is focusing on restoring projects that had been left incomplete. The coverage frames the revival as part of a broader infrastructure programme associated with Tinubu’s policy initiatives, without specifying the precise status of each road beyond the intent to restart or complete them.
