 The Minister of Mine to instill development, Olami Lekhoa, says Nigeria has about 70% road infrastructure deficit while stressing the need for the country to boost local vitamin production. According to the Minister, only 50,000 kilometers out of 200,000 kilometers of road networks are paved in the country. The Minister disclosed this in a budget during a press briefing on the concession of the delineated nitrogen vitamin blocks. The Minister argued that the cost of road construction in the country would ultimately go down with the local production of vitamin, which would also lead to import substitution, local content development and increased value addition to the mining industry, job creation and more revenue for the government.
