The Federal Government has completed 135 road infrastructure projects across northern Nigeria as part of its ongoing national infrastructure renewal drive, according to the Minister of Transportation, Saidu Alkali.
Alkali made the disclosure during a two-day interactive forum hosted by the Ahmadu Bello Foundation, according to a statement released on Wednesday by Suleiman Haruna, Director of Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation.
In addition to the completed road projects, the minister revealed that 266 road construction projects are currently ongoing in the region, while 312 maintenance projects have already been delivered.
He also highlighted several major legacy infrastructure projects being implemented nationwide, including:

Beyond road construction, the minister said the federal government has completed projects such as the Greater Abuja Water Supply Network, built and rehabilitated multiple primary and secondary schools, and inaugurated three modern bus terminals.
In the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) alone, 14 road projects have been completed and inaugurated, with several others under construction or rehabilitation.
Alkali emphasized that these efforts reflect President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at accelerating infrastructure development and economic integration across all regions of the country.
“These projects are not just concrete and asphalt; they represent our administration’s commitment to improving mobility, boosting commerce, and enhancing the quality of life for Nigerians,” the minister said.
