The disclosure by the NNPC Boss is coming about 14 months after the National Oil Company expressed interest to invest in the reconstruction of selected federal roads in order to sustain a smooth supply and distribution of petroleum products across the country.

Under the initial programme, the NNPC is constructing a total of 1,804.6 kilometres of roads at a total cost of N621,237,143,897.35.

in that area for the benefit of Nigerians.

Kyari expressed satisfaction with the progress of work completed so far at the project sites visited, saying that the NNPC had done its bit by providing the funds required for their execution.
