Major infrastructure projects valued at over $151 million are being implemented in Delta State, as part of a broad effort to improve transportation links across Nigeria’s southern region. The projects, recently approved by the Delta State Executive Council, are spread across Delta North, Central, and South senatorial districts.
Among the highlights is a new flyover at Uromi Junction in Agbor, estimated at $38.6 million, which will feature two roundabouts. The contract has been awarded to Julius Berger Nigeria Plc. Another flyover, to be built at Otouwodo along the Asaba–Ughelli road, is projected to cost $29.7 million, while a dual carriageway on Sapele Road in Effurun will be constructed for $22.9 million.
Benefits
In Osun State, authorities report progress on the rehabilitation and expansion of over 200 kilometers of road infrastructure. Ongoing works include the dualisation of the Ilesa road and the construction of new flyovers in Koe-Fia, Ile-Ife, and LAMECO areas. These developments are expected to ease traffic congestion and enhance regional mobility.
Up north, Jigawa State’s Sule-Tankarkar Local Government Area is set to benefit from two new road connections funded through the 2026 national budget. The initiative is part of federal efforts to improve rural infrastructure and inter-state connectivity.
Meanwhile, the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway, a vital corridor linking Abuja to Kano, is also slated for federal rehabilitation. The expressway is one of the country’s most heavily used routes, playing a key role in national logistics and mobility.
In Lagos State, five major road projects are underway in the Alimosho Local Government Area, with completion expected by the end of 2025. These include upgrades to the Akesan–Igando road, the Rabiatu–Ogedengbe road, and the Ijegun–Ijagemo dual carriageway. Additional improvements are being made to the Ile Eja road system, all aimed at strengthening the city’s road network and supporting economic growth in one of Nigeria’s most densely populated regions. These projects reflect both state and federal government efforts to bridge Nigeria’s infrastructure gap and stimulate economic activity through improved road connectivity.
