Nigerian lawmakers demand urgent repair of a dangerous road after a tanker explosion killed 30+ people, citing years of neglected projects.
The Nigerian House of Representatives has called for immediate rehabilitation of the Bida-Agaie-Lapai-Lambata-Diko Road, citing a deadly tanker explosion in Niger State that killed over 30 people and exposed the highway’s poor condition.
Lawmakers blamed decades of unfulfilled contracts and stalled projects, including those under the Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme, for repeated accidents and economic losses.
The House directed the FRSC to enforce tanker safety standards, NEMA to aid victims, and several committees to assess the road and past contracts, requiring reports within two weeks.
Separately, President Bola Tinubu has extended Surveyor-General Abduganiyu Adebomehin’s tenure by two years, effective January 5, 2026, to continue reforms in geospatial data, land management, highway coordination, and erosion control, following the OSGOF’s transfer to the Presidency.
