“Currently, proceeds from the N250 billion Sovereign Sukuk are being utilised across 77 key economic road projects in the country. The projects include the completion of roads B6, B12 and Circle road, Abuja; Abuja-Lokoja road (Koton Karfe-Lokoja); and rehabilitation of Yola-Hong-Mubi road in Adamawa,” it disclosed. “Others are dualisation of Kano-Katsina road; dualisation of Sapele-Ewu road; rehabilitation Of Old Enugu – Onitsha road; dualisation of Ibadan-Ife-Ilesha road; dualisation Of Akure – Ado Ekiti road, among others.”
