The Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, is set to officially commence tolling on designated federal highways to recover the $460.8 million invested in the Abuja-Keffi-Akwanga-Lafia-Makurdi Road project.

The flag-off ceremony will take place at the Garaku Toll Station, located at KM 32 on the Keffi-Akwanga section of the highway.

This development follows a loan of $460.8 million provided by the China Eximbank for the road project, aimed at enhancing infrastructure and improving transportation along the critical corridor.

Kingdom Mindset: Living with a purpose driven life
GBENGA OWOTOKI, Florida, USA
There is a deep chasm between existing and truly living. To exist is to wake up, work, eat, sleep, and repeat-a cycle that satisfies the flesh but starves the soul.
