Nigerian leader highlights BRI projects

Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to delivering flagship infrastructure projects under the Belt and Road Initiative, describing them as "national assets to serve every Nigerian".

In an update issued on Monday, Tinubu listed the trans-Saharan highway and the 439-kilometer Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe road among the legacy projects of the administration.

Both roads are being financed and executed by Chinese partners and are expected to transform transport links across Africa's most populous country.
