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.
These roads will be constructed under the Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme (Executive Order 7).
Upon completion, these projects will revolutionise road travels within Kwara and neighbouring states, with huge potentials for development and food security.
Reacting to the development, Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq expressed appreciation to President Mohammadu Buhari and BUA Group for the laudable gesture.
“We thank President Muhammadu Buhari for this landmark development. We similarly commend BUA for keying into the laudable initiative.
“Our administration will offer all the support to make these projects come through for the benefit of our people” he said.
