President Bola Tinubu flags off a new northern “legacy” superhighway and approves N111 billion for its immediate commencement. The project is described as a 700-kilometre road corridor linking Akwanga to Jos, Bauchi, Gombe, Biu and Maiduguri. Reporting from The Punch indicates the initiative is part of the administration’s broader infrastructure programme aimed at improving transport connectivity across the northern region and supporting economic activity along the route. Tinubu’s approval covers take-off funding that enables early construction activities, rather than being tied to a later funding stage. The coverage presents the superhighway as the fourth such project announced or unveiled under the administration’s legacy branding, with the current one focusing on the Akwanga–Maiduguri axis through the listed states and settlements. Overall, the announcements combine a public commissioning/flag-off of the road with an explicit allocation of N111 billion to support start-up works.
