Senate urges FG to accommodate North-east in legacy road projects

The Senate on Wednesday called on the federal government to include states in the North-eastern region of the country in the Renewed Hope Legacy Road Infrastructure Projects of President Bola Tinubu.

The call was a sequel to a motion sponsored by Danjuma Goje (APC, Gombe Central) during the plenary.

The legacy road projects of the Tinubu administration are the Sokoto – Badagry Superhighway (SBS), connecting Sokoto (North-west) to Badagri (South-west); Lagos – Calabar Coastal Highway (LCCH) (South-south) and Calabar – Ebonyi – Benue – Kogi – Nasarawa – Abuja Superhighway (South-west and North-central, respectively).
