The Minister for Works, Dave Umahi, has announced that the rehabilitation and palliative work on all failed federal roads will commence on December 1, 2023.

He also reeled out plans for actualizing a sustainable road infrastructure throughout the country. In a personal statement posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account, the minister said his response was based on the complaints by commuters and residents on dilapidated federal roads.
