The projects—the 49.15-kilometre Bama–Banki Road and the Dikwa–Gamboru Ngala Road—are being executed under the Federal Government’s Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme (Executive Order 007) by the Dangote Group. They are expected to improve regional connectivity, enhance security operations, and stimulate economic activities across the North-East.

Sharing details of the event, Senator Ngwu described the projects as a reflection of the Federal Government’s resolve to bridge Nigeria’s infrastructure gap through effective collaboration with the private sector. He noted that investments in critical road infrastructure remain essential to national integration, economic prosperity, and improved livelihoods for citizens.

For constituents in Enugu West, the senator’s participation underscores his active role in shaping national policies and oversight beyond the boundaries of his district. As a member of the Senate Committee on Works, Senator Ngwu continues to contribute to legislative efforts aimed at ensuring that key infrastructure projects across the country are delivered efficiently and in the public interest.

The Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme has emerged as one of the Federal Government’s flagship initiatives for accelerating the construction and rehabilitation of federal highways through public-private partnerships, with the objective of expanding economic opportunities and strengthening connectivity across Nigeria.

The flag-off ceremony brought together lawmakers, government officials, representatives of the Dangote Group, and other stakeholders, marking another significant step in the country’s ongoing drive to modernise its road network and promote inclusive national development.
