Point News247 reports that the Minister for Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola says 44 road projects are currently funded under the Sukuk programme.
Fashola said this at the inauguration and handing over of Phase I and II of Vandeikya-Ogbudu Cattle Ranch road in Tsua, Vandiekya LGA of Benue state, North Central Nigeria.
Fashola added that the completed road would positively impact the lives of the host communities, commuters, and the general public.
Fashola said, “These projects represent major investment in road transport infrastructure, which is a commitment of the Buhari administration as a driver for economic growth and prosperity.
“They are visible and incontrovertible assets in proof of what Nigeria’s resources are invested in from a combination of our earned resources and borrowings.
“This occasion affords another opportunity to acknowledge the impact of the Sukuk funding in the completion of Azare — Potiskum, Shuwarin — Potiskum, and Sokoto-Tambuwal-Kontagora Roads.”
