The Federal Executive Council FEC has approved the reconstruction of 21 roads covering a total distance of 1,804.6 kilometers across the six geo-political zones.
These projects are to be undertaken by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC through the deployment of its own tax liabilities.
Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, announced the approval while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the FEC meeting held in Abuja.
In July, FEC approved the award of a contract to Dangote Industries for the construction of five roads totaling 274.9 kilometres at the cost of 309.9 billion naira, advanced by the company as tax credit.
Fashola gave an assurance that in the South-West, the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, the Agabara junction, Ibadan to Ilorin will be fixed.
Three other roads are located in the North-East, two in the North-West, and two others in the South-East.
