The Nigerian Senate has passed a landmark infrastructure rehabilitation bill that allocates ₦2.4 trillion for the repair, upgrade, and expansion of roads, railways, seaports, and the power grid across the country.
The legislation, which passed with broad bipartisan support after months of deliberation, mandates that funds be disbursed directly to state governments under a supervised federal matching scheme.
Senators praised the bill as a turning point for Nigeria's aging infrastructure, which has long been identified as a key constraint on economic growth.
