The Nigerian Senate has enjoined the federal government to further expand the ‘renewed hope legacy road infrastructure projects’ in the country to include the North-East region.
It asked the ministry of works to include the Calabar-Makurdi-Jalingo-Yola-Maiduguri Highway, which will integrate the North-East into the’ ‘legacy infrastructure road projects’ in the country.
This followed a motion sponsored by a former minister and ex-governor of Gombe State, Senator Goje Mohammed Danjuma (Gombe Central).
Senator Danjuma pointed out that all other geo-political zones were captured in the ‘renewed hope legacy road infrastructure projects’ except the North-East region.
