The Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP), a World Bank-funded project, is to construct 534 kilometres of rural roads across Benue to facilitate the transportation of agricultural produce.
The State Project Coordinator (SPC), Mr Stephen Numbeve, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Makurdi.
Numbeve said that the project would also construct warehouses across the state to store agricultural produce.
“We prioritised the development of engineering road designs for the 534 kilometres of roads we intend to construct. Surveys, geophysical studies, and final designs have been completed.
“With all these in place, we are ready to move forward once the funds are available.
“These roads will connect farms to markets, enabling farmers to transport their produce with ease.
