Mr Fashola who stated that the federal government now has seventeen roads ready for commissioning explained that another thirty roads in tertiary institutions are ongoing across the country making a total of seventy-six.

The minister said the project was an investment in education and encouraged the students to use the asset properly.

“While it is true that a lot of work needs to be done in many sectors of our national life, including education, the Buhari government has stepped up to lead the process of getting that work done.”

“The gap of our infrastructural needs is steadily being bridged by a gradual process of repairs, renewal and construction on major highways and it has gotten to the schools.”

“It is undebatable that quality of education will be impacted by the quality of infrastructure and the learning environment and those who doubt it should simply listen to some of the feedback from students in the schools where this type of intervention has taken place” he stated
