According to the Minister, "We are going to have the first section of 38 kilometers by 2, (which is 76 kilometers) done by Dangote Group of Companies on Tax Credit and it’s going to use concrete to do it. We will allow the next 82 kilometers for Julius Berger to handle. And then the last 20 kilometers by 2, (which is 40 kilometers) for BUA to handle and to also use concrete to do that. And I can assure you that the job will start in these three sections within this month of May." Furthermore, Umahi highlighted President Tinubu's directive to design the Sokoto-Badagry Highway, which would span 1000 kilometers and traverse several states. He also revealed plans to connect the South East to the North via the Trans Sahara Highway, with routes passing through Benue, Kogi, and Nasarawa.

The Governor also stressed the importance of Federal Government intervention in critical routes like the Eastern Bypass in Kaduna State and the Mando-Benigwari road, crucial for agricultural activities in the North.
