The Federal Government spent N6.47 trillion on strategic infrastructure development between June 2023 and December 2025, with major highway projects accounting for more than half of the expenditure.
An analysis of the newly released Federal Government’s Nigeria Reform Scorecard on savings from fuel subsidy, titled “The Benefits, Costs and Harm Prevented,” on Sunday showed that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway received the highest allocation among selected strategic infrastructure projects, with N2.23tn disbursed to fund its construction.
The Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway followed with N1.11tn, while N489.3bn was paid for the Trans-Sahara Superhighway. Checks showed that the three highway projects alone accounted for about N3.83tn of the N6.47tn infrastructure spending captured in the government’s reform scorecard.
The report covered the period between June 2023 and December 2025 and detailed how the Federal Government deployed additional fiscal resources generated or made available during the period of its economic reforms.
According to the scorecard, the government recorded an incremental expenditure of N30.64tn, with strategic infrastructure development accounting for N6.47tn.
