Federal Govt Gives BUA Company Tax Concession To Construct Four Major Roads In Kwara

The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday granted approvals to BUA Group for the rehabilitation of four major roads in Kwara State.

The affected roads are: Kosubosu-Kaiama-Bode Saadu (130km); Bacita-Shonga-Lafiagi (83km); Eiyenkorin-Afon-Offa-Odo Ottin (49km); and Okuta-Bukuro Road, which connects to the Benin Republic (32km). These come to 294km in all.

“We thank President Muhammadu Buhari for this landmark development. We similarly commend BUA for keying into the laudable initiative.
