Why this matters

Investing heavily in capital expenditure yields so many positive multiplier effects on the economy, as it is capable of boosting revenue, attracting investors, and expanding business opportunities. Good roads woo investors, who then invest in the country, create jobs for the citizens of the country, and add to national income.

In addition, the latest announcement is in line with the FG’s goal of delivering investment enabling social projects such as vital road constructions.
