The Federal Government has approved the dualisation of the 420-kilometre Akwanga (Nasarawa State)–Jos (Plateau State)–Bauchi–Gombe highway.

These roads will feature street lighting, solar-powered lights, irrigation dams, and renewable energy components to support agriculture and earn future carbon credits.
The announcement came during an inspection of the ongoing rehabilitation of the 35.4 km Bauchi–Gombe section, contracted to Triacta Nigeria Limited.
