Reps approves $516m loan for Sokoto–Badagry highway project

Nigeria’s House of Representatives has given approval for President Tinubu’s request to secure a $516 million loan aimed at financing major sections of the Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway.

The project, a key component of the Renewed Hope Agenda, is designed to significantly improve transportation and economic connectivity across the country.

Once completed, the highway will create a vital link between the North West and South West, running from Illela in Sokoto State to Badagry in Lagos State, and is expected to boost trade and regional integration.
