President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially flagged off the construction of the 118.85km Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue–Nasarawa–Abuja Super Highway, marking a transformative step toward national integration and infrastructure expansion.

Flagged off in Afikpo North, Ebonyi State, the project aims to connect the South-East, South-South, and North-Central regions, improving accessibility and ending years of infrastructural neglect. It extends from Ndibe Beach in Afikpo, through Benue and Nasarawa, and into the FCT, Abuja, with additional access to Calabar via Cross River State.

President Tinubu, represented by Governor Francis Nwifuru, described the superhighway as a symbol of the Renewed Hope Agenda—a shift from marginalization to inclusion, connectivity, and nationwide development.

Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi Minister Of Works⁩, emphasized the highway’s strategic importance in stimulating trade, connectivity, and economic growth, calling it a key milestone of the administration’s infrastructural revolution.

This superhighway will significantly boost interstate commerce, reduce travel time, and enhance security and logistics across multiple regions. It is also expected to unlock agricultural and industrial potential, foster unity, and drive sustainable development across Nigeria’s heartland.
