FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNVEILS SMART HIGHWAY PLAN WITH CCTV AND SOLAR LIGHTS
The Federal Government has unveiled a new push for what it described as “smart, durable and economically impactful infrastructure,” with the approval of a N150bn extension of the Bodo-Bonny Road project in Rivers State under a Public-Private Partnership arrangement.
The Minister of Works, David Umahi, disclosed this during a meeting with the management of Nigeria LNG Limited, saying the project reflects a shift from conventional road construction to long-lasting, technology-driven infrastructure.
According to a statement from the ministry, the project has received presidential approval and will soon be presented to the Federal Executive Council for ratification.
Umahi said the extension of the Bodo-Bonny Road would be executed using reinforced concrete technology designed to last between 50 and 100 years, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
