FG Unveils Additional N248bn Road Projects For Ebonyi

The Federal Government has announced additional road projects worth N248 billion for Ebonyi State as part of efforts to strengthen transportation infrastructure, improve connectivity and stimulate economic activities across the region.

The announcement was made on Monday, November 9, 2026, during the visit of Vice-President Kashim Shettima to Abakaliki for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The projects include the dualisation of the Enugu–Abakaliki–Ogoja Road, improvements to the Onueke–Ezza corridor and the rehabilitation of the Okposi–Amasiri Road.

The Federal Government also highlighted ongoing construction work on the Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue–Abuja Superhighway, describing it as a major transport corridor expected to enhance regional connectivity and facilitate access to new markets.

According to the government, the infrastructure projects are expected to create opportunities for farmers, traders and businesses by improving the movement of people and goods across the benefiting communities.

Shettima, who was received in Abakaliki by Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, alongside government officials and APC leaders, said the visit formed part of the party’s mobilisation activities ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The announcement underscores the Federal Government’s focus on road infrastructure as a key driver of economic growth, regional integration and improved commercial activities in Ebonyi State and neighbouring areas.
