The road interventions, which are worth the sum of 207 billion era are to begin fully from the onset of the dry season precisely November 2023. Ninjutsu Minister of Works Sen. Dave Umahi made these known after a closed-door meeting with the president on road infrastructure in the country. The minister said the president and Tinibu approved the Sheddam Lafayette Bridge that collapsed recently. He also said that approval was given for repairs of the 17 points along the east-west road that had been destroyed by floods between the years 2022 to 2023. Sen. Umahi said that the president did not only approve the roads for repairs but has also released funds to begin the work. I've always recommended Mr. President for his deep interest in restricting most of our roads in the country. Every day we get a lot of concerns from the public on the very deplorable situation of our roads. But there is no paper I came in respect of that and Mr. President has not approved. So just yesterday he approved over 260 roads interventions all over the states, the 30s, 60s and the FCT and the recall last week he approved a lot of emergency road and bridges repairs. You have three bridges that collapse in southeast-west roads. He approved for reconstruction immediately. We have Shandam Lafayette Bridge that collapse. He approved also for the repairs. We have about 17 points along east-west roads that have been destroyed by floods. Mr. President has approved and released money for the immediate repairs. You have of course the Tom Mellon Bridge, the resurfacing and then some noticeable deflection which has to be done under the deck on top of the water with of course equipment. So Mr. President has also approved that. Two bridges that collapse in Enugu are approved by Mr. President. The two locations on the Shawari Road, Mr. President approved the reconstruction. Lokajabuja Road, Mr. President approved the reconstruction. So I can name them apart from the 260, you know, emergency repairs all over the country that was about, you know, 217 billion Naira. So I'm quite glad. But this afternoon again, Mr. President also approved, you know, the upgrading.
