The Federal Government has suspended the approval for the construction of new road networks across the country.
This was revealed by the minister of works, David Umahi, in Calabar, when the Federal Ministry for Works convened a stakeholders engagement on the proposed alignment and design for about 97 kilometer spur of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project with a segment from cross river state to south-east and north-central part of Nigeria.
According to him, the decision is a result of a directive by President Bola Tinubu, adding that the ministry will be prioritizing the completion of ongoing projects in the country in the 2025 budget.
