The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to spend N350 billion on the rehabilitation and upgrade of the Enugu–Onitsha highway, a critical transport corridor connecting Enugu State and Anambra State.
Officials stated that the project will involve extensive road repairs, resurfacing, and the construction of modern drainage and safety systems to improve vehicular flow and reduce accidents. The initiative is expected to enhance regional connectivity and stimulate trade and economic activities along the route.
Speaking on the project, a government spokesperson said, “The Enugu–Onitsha highway is a vital artery for both commercial and passenger transport. This investment will not only improve safety and efficiency but also create jobs and encourage local economic development.”
The project is part of the Federal Government’s broader infrastructure development agenda, which prioritizes key highways across the country. Authorities emphasized that the work would be executed with strict adherence to quality standards and environmental considerations.
Analysts say that the rehabilitation of the Enugu–Onitsha highway is likely to reduce transportation costs, improve logistics for businesses, and increase the movement of goods and people between southeastern states and other parts of Nigeria.
Work on the project is expected to commence later this year, with completion timelines and phases to be announced by the Federal Ministry of Works.
