FG Inaugurates Construction Of Badagry-Sokoto Superhighway


 In a momentous occasion, decades of anticipation came to an end as the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway construction project was formally inaugurated today in Kebbi State, heralding a transformative era of economic growth, improved transportation, and enhanced regional connectivity.
The Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway project, first awarded in 1978, has finally resumed construction after decades of delay due to political reasons.
Today, in Kebbi State, Governor Nasir Idris, representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Minister of Works David Umahi, Senators, and members of the National Assembly, launched the construction of this long-awaited project of 258km highway.
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, emphasized that the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway construction is a lifelong investment, yielding enduring benefits for economic and agricultural development.
Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris expressed gratitude to the President and his delegation for ensuring the project's success.
He also congratulated the people of Kebbi State on this significant achievement.
Additionally, Governor Idris commended the construction company, awarded the project, for their exceptional work globally and encouraged them to replicate this excellence in building the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway.
This significant infrastructure development aims to boost economic growth, enhance connectivity, and reduce travel time between Lagos and Sokoto.
With a projected travel time of under seven hours, this superhighway will revolutionize trade and commerce across regions.
