Benin-Abraka Road Project
The Benin-Abraka Road is a 88km road project abandoned by the Federal Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The Edo State Government has awarded 40.5km out of the 88km and work has reached an advanced stage. This road is a strategic road that leads to Orhionmwon Local Government Area that plays host to the largest oil palm project in Africa as well as gas and crude oil fields.
Progress of Ekenwan-Ugbiyokho Road
The construction of the road project is ongoing and on completion the road will be very significant as it leads to Gelegele which is the closest point to the Benin Port Project.
The State Government is deploying concrete technology in the construction of low-line areas of the road project.
