Minister of Works Senator Dave Umahi reported that over N250 billion has been spent over the last three years to complete more than 260 emergency road projects and reconstruct bridges in every state. To maintain transparency, the administration has invited the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to audit procurement and execution. Specific maintenance efforts include remedial work on the Eko Bridge in Lagos and security deployment for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. Building on these efforts, the Federal Executive Council approved over N610 billion for nationwide road reconstruction and upgrading, utilizing public-private partnership (PPP) concessions. This includes a N159.826 billion contract for the Ado-Ekiti–Iyin–Aramoko–Itawure–Osun State border road. Furthermore, the Federal Ministry of Transportation has initiated a 20-year PPP to establish the Smart National Transport Databank (SNTDB), a centralized, real-time transport data system intended to improve evidence-based planning. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-19: Nigeria approves N610bn for road projects and new transport data system Nigeria approves N610 billion for road infrastructure projects and establishes a centralized transport data system via a 20-year PPP concession to improve national logistics and planning. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nigeria-approves-n610bn-for-road-projects-and-new-transport-data-system ### 2026-08-09: Nigeria Federal Government reports N250 billion spent on road projects Nigeria's Minister of Works reports N250 billion spent on 260+ road projects and 10+ bridges per state, while implementing anti-corruption audits and repairs on the Eko Bridge. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nigeria-federal-government-reports-n250-billion-spent-on-road-projects --- Cite as: Nigeria federal road infrastructure development.
