The Federal Government
plans to generate 2,000 megawatts within the next 15 months to boost
electricity supply, it was announced yesterday. The Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway and the Second Niger Bridge linking the West to the East will get
priority attention in next year’s budget, which will allocate more cash to
infrastructure provision.
But
tolling will likely be reintroduced on federal roads to generate cash for
maintenance.
These
are part of the government’s plan, which Minister of Power, Works and Housing
Babatunde Fashola unfolded yesterday.
