The newly unveiled road forms part of an extensive 500-kilometre infrastructure programme, including two cross-border projects in Borno State intended to boost regional trade with Chad and Cameroon.
The route connects Epe–Ijebu-Ode to the Sagamu–Benin Expressway, enhancing national logistics capacity.
