Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has announced that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) has granted approvals to the BUA Group for the construction of four major roads in the state.
The roads to be constructed are Kosubosu-Kaiama-Bode Saadu, Bacita-Shonga-Lafiagi, Eiyenkorin-Afon-Offa-Odo Ottin, and Okuta-Bukuro Road, which connects to the Benin Republic, totaling 294km.
According to the Governor, these roads will be constructed under the Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme (Executive Order 7) and will revolutionize road travels within Kwara and neighbouring states, with huge potentials for development and food security.
