He confirmed that the project has secured the necessary regulatory approvals, including those from the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), as well as\u00a0an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1352\">According to Martins, the superhighway will transform transportation and boost economic activity. \u201cThis project will open up the country in a way never seen before. It is designed to cut the travel time between Lagos and Abuja to just four hours while also opening up rural communities along the route,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1576\">The road will pass through Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Kwara, Kogi, Niger, and terminate in Abuja. Plans are also underway to link the project to the Baro Port in Niger State, aiming\u00a0to enhance its economic viability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1863\">Backing the initiative, Jaycob Attah, Director of Global Finance at First Global Commerce Solutions, described the project as a bold response to Nigeria\u2019s infrastructure financing gap. \u201cIt speaks directly to the bottlenecks that have slowed economic growth for decades,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"2180\">On the financing side, Gbadebo Adenrele, Managing Director of Investment Banking at United Capital, assured that local and international financiers are ready to release funds. \u201cWith credible legal, technical, and financial partners, the project has what it takes to attract the required investment,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2182\" data-end=\"2426\">Engr.
