  "summary": "The Federal Government has commenced the reconstruction and dualisation of the Lambata-Bida-Mokwa-Makera-Kontagora highway in Niger State, a project estimated to cost N1.5 trillion. Minister of Works, David Umahi, called for President Bola Tinubu's re-election to ensure the completion of ongoing road projects across the country, with Niger State accounting for 1,055 kilometres of the 5,500 kilometres of new and ongoing road projects. Umahi described the highway as a potential fifth legacy project of the Tinubu administration, highlighting its length, reinforced concrete pavement, and the involvement of the Dangote Group through the infrastructure tax-credit scheme.",
