It has emerged that the House of Representatives has approved a request by Bola Tinubu to secure a $516,333,007 syndicated loan from Deutsche Bank AG for infrastructure development.
The approval was granted on Tuesday during plenary in Abuja following the presentation of a report by Abdullahi Rasheed.
The loan will fund sections of the proposed Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway, a flagship project of the Tinubu administration aimed at improving connectivity across key regions of the country.
In a letter to the National Assembly, Tinubu remarked the facility would finance Sections 1, 1A and 1B of the project.
“Approval is sought for the syndicated financing facility from Deutsche Bank in the total sum of $516,333,007 for the execution of Sections 1, 1A and 1B of the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway Project,” the president expressed.
The proposed 1,000-kilometre highway is expected to link the North-West and South-West, passing through Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos states, from Illela to Badagry.
