President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved N142 billion for the construction of modern bus terminals in Edo and five other States.
Minister of Transportation, Sa’idu Ahmed Alkali, announced this after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja.
The six states benefiting are: Edo (South-South), Ogun (South-West), Gombe (North-East), Kano (North-West), Kogi (North-Central), and Anambra (South-East).
Senator Alkali described the project as the first direct Federal Government intervention in road transport infrastructure beyond road construction.
He added that the choice of locations was based on economic viability.
