Deji Elumoye in Abuja
The federal government yesterday flagged off the rehabilitation of the Bama-Banki Road and the Dikwa-Gamboru-Ngala Road in Borno State, describing the projects as strategic investments aimed at reopening critical trade corridors, strengthening security operations and accelerating post-insurgency economic recovery across the North-east.
Performing the ceremony on behalf of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima said the projects underscore the administration’s commitment to restoring mobility, rebuilding economic confidence and reconnecting communities devastated by years of insurgency and infrastructural neglect.
He said the two road corridors would enhance cross-border trade with neighbouring countries, improve agricultural activities and widen the operational reach of security agencies across the region.
