Nigerian Senate on Wednesday called for the construction of Badagary/Sokoto Expressway to promote economic growth in the country.
Senator Sadiq Umar and seven other Senators made a case for the project during the Senate plenary session.
Senate president Ahmad Lawan mandated the Committees on Works, Finance, and National Planning & Economic Development to jointly inter-face with the Ministry of Works, Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), and other relevant authorities to determine why the Badagry-Sokoto Expressway has been abandoned for such a long time.
