Reports have been gathered that out of 3,800 bad roads that needed to be fixed, The Federal Government has disclosed that only 500 roads will be fixed due to low budget.
Senator Abdulfatai Buhari has said of the 3,800 federal roads identified as requiring attention, only 500 have been captured in the 2020 budget.
According to The Nation, Senator Buhari said due to cash crunch, majority of the bad roads will not be fixed for now.
According to Senator Buhari, a total of N260 million was budgeted for renovations of the roads in Nigeria, but unfortunately the money can only fix 500 roads.
He said: “About five days ago, I was with Fashola and we were discussing the state of Nigerian roads.
“He brought out a list of over 3,800 roads, but the available money can only repair 500 roads and they must be spread and not put in a particular section of the country.
