 Onitsha- Enugu Expressway will be fully completed with Solar streetlight in April 2026 - Federal Government 


After decades of deterioration and failed interventions, the Federal Government has fixed April 28 for the completion of major sections of the Enugu–Onitsha Expressway, expressing satisfaction with the pace and quality of work being executed by MTN Nigeria and its subcontractors.


The Minister of Works, David Umahi, announced while addressing journalists after inspecting the project, describing the highway as one of the most problematic roads in the South-East and a symbol of prolonged neglect


The 107-kilometre expressway, which links Enugu and Anambra states, is being reconstructed under the Federal Government’s tax-credit scheme, with MTN Nigeria initially awarded the entire project at a cost of N202 billion.


Umahi disclosed that MTN had already completed work valued at about N50 billion before economic developments, including the floating of the naira and subsidy removal, necessitated a review of the project.


The minister said the project is being executed by MTN in collaboration with subcontractors – Nigercat and RCC, with SKC also handling some sections.


He added that the Federal Government is considering awarding SKC a separate contract to install solar streetlights along the entire 107-kilometre corridor, except in areas already covered by the Anambra State Government.
